Founded in 2017, ABV Technology makes products and offers services for the craft beverage industry to create flavorful and high quality reduced and non-alcoholic beverages.

The quest to prove that non-alcoholic beverages can be processed using technology that kept your hard work and craft in mind began, and we soon found that demand for great tasting non-alcoholic beverages far outweighed supply.

With each founder having unique backgrounds in IT, Sales and Engineering, they assembled a dream team to bring their innovative technology to life! Today ABV Technology manufactures their Equalizer equipment on site in St. Paul, MN and offers a service facility model for beverage processing.

Here's the situation

1. The healthier beverage demand is large and expanding
2. Consumption of these beverages is an international trend, especially in younger cohorts
3. For those that haven’t reduced alcohol consumption, the majority say they would if more options were available

The problem for craft beverage producers

1. Beverage producers see the growth in Non-Alcoholic, Low-Alcoholic, Reduced-Alcoholic, and Better for You categories
2. Legacy recipes are well characterized, low risk, and have market acceptance
3. Diversifying their beverage portfolios brings new customers in distribution and in the tap/tasting rooms
4. Reducing / removing alcohol requires special equipment ($)
5. These new types of beverages require specialized labeling of ABV, calories and nutrition ($)
6. They also require special attention to quality, shelf stability and longevity ($)

This is where we come in

We've raised over 9M+ and have invested those dollars to create unique and patented technology that every NA beverage producer can use.

Fermentation matters

Unlike other low alcohol alternative beverages, our Equalizer uses finished alcohol containing products, allowing the full flavors of fermentation to remain intact.

1. The average craft beer contains more than 100 flavor-contributing molecules from fermentation
2. Wines contain up to 1000+

Our platform uses a low temperature, low pressure vacuum filtration process specially designed to create some of the best non-alcoholic beverages on the market. This unique filtration equipment maintains flavor, color and aroma of the input beverage, allowing you to create a crafted NA beverage from your trusted recipes.

How it works

Starting from a tank of beer, wine, cider or Fermented Beverage (FB) , an operator can create two beverages out of one trusted recipe. The Equalizer series filters the input beverage into a clear FB ready to be finished into hard seltzer while also creating a flavorful non-alcoholic beverage maintaining flavor, color, and aromas. The equipment can also operate in a keg to keg configuration where the beverage is degassed if necessary prior to processing and then re-carbonated inline.

Innovation, reliability, and precise performance

1. Two-stage evaporative vacuum separation is a top-tier technology choice
2. Competition is expensive and incompatible with craft
3. Gentle, repeatable, and fully automated process for making all kinds of NA.
4. Easy to use and clean
5. Intelligent software with real-time cloud monitoring service ensures quality and uptime
6. Patent filed in June 2020 for EQ-x000. Continuation in part for EQ-x100 in Q4 2021
7. Unlike more expensive incumbent technologies, no additional permitting or distillation licensing required to operate the Equalizer filtration equipment in the US per the TTB. This feature opens up opportunities for beverage manufacturers of all sizes to utilize the Equalizer technology

Partnerships in the making

We offer Recipe, Sourcing, Dealcoholization, Canning Pasteurization, and Lab Services.

Our Service Facility Center Model:

1. We retain ownership of the equipment and of the service customer base
2. Partner provides facilities and contract brewing+packing
3. Allow beverage makers to ship product to our service facilities
4. Dealcoholize their beverages, pasteurize them, analyze, and ship them back
5. This makes our technology available to ALL producers
6. Future Track: Deploy more service facilities around the country

Bring beverages to the equipment

1. Similar to mobile canning but a customers fermented beverages are brought/shipped to a service facility
2. Validated in Minnesota: More than 200 breweries and 500+ recipes through our HQ service facility
3. Partner beverage producers in high-density regional clusters offer capacity to nearby breweries, wineries, cider-makers, and other beverage manufacturers
4. Over 50+ like locations in the United States alone

It takes a village

1. Over 100 Service Customers are making non-alcoholic (NA), low-alcoholic (LA) and sugar-free/gluten-free seltzer filtrate beverages (mainly out of our St. Paul, MN headquarters)
2. 17 Equalizers built, 10 actively deployed, 2 at partnerships in Chicago and New York
