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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-bire-00) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowabv-brown-ales)," said Cannery co-owner Patt Dyck to [Canadian Beer News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordie-howe).
