But having a pint or a flight is a no-no. Luckily, being the DD on the BC Ale Trail doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re relegated to just water. There are refreshing non-alcoholic craft beverages available for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re the designated driver for a brewery tasting room visit, you might have this role for one of a few reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You drew the short straw<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re pregnant<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s your turn<\/li>\n<li>Maybe you&#8217;re doing a &#8216;dry&#8217; month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever the reason, being DD can seem &#8220;no fun&#8221; as you don&#8217;t get to sip and savour what everyone else is. Because&#8230; <strong>n<\/strong><strong>o drinking and driving, folks<\/strong> \u2014 <strong>BIG\u00a0no-no.<\/strong> But it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re stuck with just still or sparkling water. Not on the BC Ale Trail. Here are some refreshing non-alcoholic beverages available at BC craft breweries:<\/p>\n<h3>Kombucha<\/h3>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s cover off what kombucha is. This fizzy delight is a carbonated tea that has been fermented and brewed using tea, bacteria and yeast. Kombucha has healthy probiotics and antioxidant properties, and can help with immune system function, and brain and digestion health. It also provides a natural energy boost. Essentially, it\u2019s good to sip on after a big meal, or perhaps after a tasting room visit where you weren&#8217;t the DD. At a family-friendly tasting room, your kids might even like it!<\/p>\n<p>And for those who take pictures of their beverages \u2014 like me \u2014 it often comes in pretty colours and looks nice in a photo.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s are some breweries where you can find house-made kombucha on tap:<\/p>\n<h4>Faculty Brewing (Vancouver)<\/h4>\n<p>Makers of the popular Oddity Kombucha, <a href=\"https:\/\/bcaletrail.ca\/breweries\/faculty-brewing-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Faculty Brewing Co.<\/a> have their fermented tea on tap and bottled. Vancouver residents can also find Oddity Kombucha around the city and order it through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beervan.ca\/#partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BeerVan<\/a>. A favourite flavour of mine is the Hibiscus Mint.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19297\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19297\" src=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-1024x683.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=90&webp=90&avif=80&sharp=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"Non-alcoholic beverages - Oddity Kombucha - Faculty Brewing - BC Ale Trail\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-1024x683.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-300x200.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-768x512.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-756x504.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 756w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-1134x756.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1134w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha-500x333.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/ef5pdbk7uqr.exactdn.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hibiscus-Mint-Oddity-Kombucha.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=90&amp;webp=90&amp;avif=80&amp;sharp=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Oddity Kombucha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Marten BrewinG (Vernon)<\/h4>\n<p>Stefan and Pearl Marten not only have kombucha on tap at <a href=\"https:\/\/bcaletrail.ca\/breweries\/marten-brewing-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marten Brewing Company<\/a> in Vernon, they own the label they pour: <a href=\"https:\/\/undergroundbeverages.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UnderGround Kombucha<\/a>.\u00a0 The bubbly lineup includes Hip Hops, a delicious and unqiue blend of rose hips and beer hops.
