Any 1 % - 2 % local brews?

Food 😋

Hey, Van bubbies!

I love drinking beer but it's obviously not a good thing to do every single day (15 % - 30 % increased risk of dementia just one beer a day).

I don't want to necessarily drink "non-alcoholic" beer but I'm not opposed to it if you have any suggestions.

I really love those sweet / sour beer like Beere makes or Okanagan's apple cider.

Are there any local BC breweries that offer low-alcohol beers?

I got thinking how ancient cultures would drink and that their beer had very low alcohol percentages compared to modern brews. I watched a Kurzesagt video titled 'Alcohol is Amazing' and it really hit hard that - and, I always say this- that it is, indeed a poison. The thing about acetaldehyde is pretty crazy...

...but, I really enjoy it. It's arguably healthier than soda pop without the alcohol and I'd love to find a beer that has those nice flavour profiles so characteristic of Vancouver brews.
