Dray n. A low, strong cart without fixed sides, for carrying heavy loads.
Come one. Come all.
Our founder grew up in St. Louis, Missouri–the home of the famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales horses, known for carrying beer barrels on a dray wagon.
We chose the name Dray to pay homage to our founder’s midwestern roots, as a play on the phrase “on the wagon,” and because non-alcoholic options are far from “dry;” instead, they’re Dray.
We’re building a community for non-drinkers–where everyone is welcome, regardless of when or why they might choose to abstain from alcohol.
