Low/No alcohol beers
Do any of the breweries in or around Parksville make NA beers?
I'm also open to trying an NA wine but I haven't had one I've liked. I've only stuck to cheaper ones at the grocery store but would spend more if something is actually good.

Did I miss Driftwood's Singularity?
Driftwood's Singularity Imperial Russian Stout is typically out in January or February, but either I missed it entirely or it's not out yet. There's no record of a 2023 version of it on Untappd either. Has anybody heard what's up?

Category 12 new Gluten-free Breakthru series
Category 12 has discovered a new gluten removal process (using enzymes?)and is offering 3 beers (IPA, Pale Ale, Pilsener ) that undergo batch testing to ensure low gluten levels.Delicious and a much needed addition to Victoria's rich craft beer landscape! Thank you Category 12, and science!
*ETA: This product is not celiac friendly, as it has obviously been produced with grain, and has merely had the measurable gluten significantly reduced, according to their testing methods.
