A brewery in British Columbia, Canada has released a new pale ale beer with only 3.05 percent alcohol content to help keep drivers legal. The beer, called No Jail Ale, is produced by Cannery Brewing Company. Sales of the full-flavored No Jail Ale beer have skyrocketed and the brewers have had to add a new tank capacity.
"We knew it would be a challenge to get the flavor, color and body that we were looking for in such a low alcohol profile," said Cannery co-owner Patt Dyck to Canadian Beer News.
