Frequently asked questions

Beyond Bottleshop is a non-alcoholic and functional beverage shop in Springfield, Ohio. These are the questions we get asked most. If yours is not here, reach out and we will answer it.

What is a functional beverage?

A functional beverage is a drink made to do something beyond taste good, usually by adding ingredients meant to support energy, focus, calm, or hydration. Think botanicals, adaptogens, or functional mushrooms worked into a drink you would actually want to sip. Everything we carry is non-alcoholic, so you get the experience of a nice drink without the alcohol.

What's the difference between a mocktail and a functional drink?

A mocktail is a non-alcoholic cocktail, built for flavor and the feel of a real drink. A functional drink adds ingredients meant to give you something extra, like calm or focus. Plenty of what we carry is both: a mocktail that also does a little work for how you feel.

What is a non-alcoholic spirit?

A non-alcoholic spirit is made to give you the flavor and ritual of a spirit like gin, whiskey, or a bittersweet aperitif, built from botanicals and herbs rather than as a traditional alcoholic spirit. They are meant to be mixed into a cocktail with tonic, soda, or a good mixer, not sipped straight. If you want the exact alcohol content of a specific bottle, ask us and we will check the label with you.

Will I find something if I don't drink alcohol at all?

Yes. Plenty of our customers are fully alcohol-free, and a large part of what we carry is made for exactly that. Tell us you want fully alcohol-free options and we will point you to them, and we are glad to check any label with you so you know exactly what you are getting. There is no pressure here and no judgment about how you drink.

Can you help me choose something?

Yes, that is our favorite part. Tell us one drink you used to order, or just how you want to feel, and we will hand you something that fits. Stop into the Springfield shop for a recommendation on the spot, or send us a note and we will point you to the right bottle online.

Do you sell gifts or variety boxes?

Yes. A variety box is our most popular gift and our most popular starting point, since it lets you or someone else taste a curated mix instead of guessing on one bottle. It is a great pick for anyone who is sober, sober-curious, or just drinking less. You can find boxes in the online store or ask us in the shop.

Do you ship, and where?

[PLACEHOLDER — replace with real shipping details before launch.]

Can I shop in person in Springfield, Ohio?

Yes. You can find us inside Reimagine Gifts & More at 25 North Fountain Avenue in downtown Springfield. We are open Tuesday through Friday from 10 to 6 and Saturday from 10 to 4, and closed Sunday and Monday. Come in and we will help you find something you like.

Do you offer wholesale, or stock bars and restaurants?

Yes. We work with bars, restaurants, and event hosts who want credible non-alcoholic options on their menus, and we offer wholesale, catering, and consulting. A few local spots already pour our drinks. See our Local Partners page, or reach out to talk about your menu.

Do you host tastings or events?

Yes. We run tastings, mixology workshops, and pop-ups, and we partner with spots around town for community gatherings. They are a low-pressure way to try things you would not have picked off a shelf and to meet other people in Springfield who are drinking differently. The easiest way to keep up with what is coming is to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, where we post the schedule.
