Almave Expands Retail Footprint and On-Premise Accounts Across the US, Moves Beyond DTC

Almave expands retail & on-premise footprint: Almave Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit — the first non-alcoholic spirit alternative made from blue agave, created by Mexican spirits incubator Casa Lumbre and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton — has expanded to four new retail partners across the country, moving beyond direct-to-consumer. Almave is now available in over 800 stores nationwide, including:

• 365 Sprouts Farmers Market locations 
• 242 Total Wine & More locations
• 150 Bevmo! locations
• 60 Raley’s Supermarkets locations in Northern California.

Additionally, Almave signed with Southern Glazer’s wine & spirits distributors to expand on-premise growth at restaurants and bars in 45 key markets across the country.

The ‘Why’: Almave’s distribution expansion reflects the simultaneous growth of both the US agave spirit and non-alcoholic markets and retailers’ openness to embracing an innovation that fills a standing gap within the space. This wider distribution significantly expands Almave’s distribution and accessibility, furthering their goal of bringing craft and heritage to the non-alcoholic space — even to those choosing not to imbibe.

ABOUT ALMAVE

Almave Distilled Non-Alcoholic Blue Agave Spirit is the first non-alcoholic spirit made using the same ingredients and processes as tequila. Distilled from the highly-coveted blue agave plant in Jalisco, Mexico — Almave is offered in both Almave Ámbar and Almave Blanco, ideal for mixing into traditionally tequila-based cocktails and beyond. Founded by seven-time Formula 1 champion and entrepreneur Lewis Hamilton and Casa Lumbre — agave spirit innovators for over 25 years — Almave embodies the shared vision of pushing the boundaries of innovation to develop one of their most innovative processes yet, blending the respected, heritage-born ingredients and traditions of tequila-making with modern techniques of distillation. The result? A true expression of blue agave, without alcohol.
