On February 3, 2024, a non-alcoholic bar will open in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The business, called Beeves, will be the first of its kind in Metro Vancouver, and will provide customers with a place to try non-alcoholic beverages before they purchase them. Despite some skepticism towards these types of drinks, CBC Radio-Canada’s Monia Blanchet writes, they are increasing in popularity amongst younger generations.
UVic’s Dr. Adam Sherk – a scientist with the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research (CISUR) – is quoted in the article saying that many younger people are beginning to question society’s relationship with alcohol. Dr. Sherk is excited to see non-alcoholic bars attract more and more customers.
