 I was recently on CBC Radio discussing some zero-proof (or extremely low ABV) options for those looking to expand their booze-free universe. I'm so stoked that their are FINALLY, NUMEROUS opportunities for those looking to abstain for a day, a week, a month, or forever! Here are a few favourites mentioned, and where you can find them in B.C. Starting top-left, clockwise: Red Racer 'Street Legal' IPA - A zesty, hoppy fruit-driven refresher. B.C. Liquor Stores, AFBev.ca OPUS Aperitivo Spritz - SO close to a Aperol Spritz; so fun! Major Supermarkets like Nesters and Whole Foods. Sansorium.com Casamara Club Sparkling Amaro Soft Drinks - Kinda between a fernet and an amaro-style fizz. Ultra-complex. SofterDrink.ca Leitz Wines - The Riesling! The Pink! The Sparkling! The Cans! Collect 'em all! To me, the best non-alcoholic wines yet. AFBev,ca, Vancouver: Drive Canteen, Kelowna: Wine & Beyond Oddbird Sparkling Rosé - Chardonnay & Pinot Noir goodness from the Languedoc in France. Sansorium.com, AFBev.ca Benjamin Bridge Piquette Zero - A Nova Scotian take on the ever-growing, super-tasting Piquette category. SofterDrink.ca, Victoria: Vessel Big Drop Brewing Co. Ales - Given blind, I dunno if I'd automatically assume they're like 0.4% alcohol. AFBev.ca, Sansorium.com OPUS Gin & Tonic - Just what you'd hope for in the category. Major Supermarkets like Nesters and Whole Foods. Sansorium.com Undone Spirits - Like the real things, but a little less weight and concentration. Victoria: Vintage Spirits, Kelowna: Wine & Beyond, SofterDrink.ca
A couple others you may have caught me mentioning, both from our friends on Vancouver Island.
Phillips iota Hazy IPA - Is this one of my absolute favourite, palate-deceiving, non-alcoholic craft beers out there? Yes! AFBev.ca, Local Liquor Stores, PhillipsBeer.com Lumette London Dry - Juniper berry, lemon, star anise, and all class. Take a bow, Team Lumette!
