Kirkstall continues a legacy of brewing left by the Cistercian monks of Kirkstall Abbey and the Kirkstall Brewery Company, which brewed from 1834 to 1983, carrying centuries of tradition into their non-alcoholic lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vendor: Kirkstall
Expert answers to common questions about non-alcoholic options, ingredients, and delivery across Canada.
What is the difference between '0.0% ABV' and 'Non-Alcoholic?
Products labeled 0.0% ABV contain absolutely no alcohol. Some products labeled 'non-alcoholic' may contain trace amounts of alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV), which is similar to the levels found in ripe fruit or fruit juice.
Is 0.5% really alcohol-free?
In Canada, any product containing less than 1.1% alcohol-by-volume (ABV) is considered alcohol-free because our body metabolizes that amount of alcohol faster than we can feel any effect.
More commonly world-wide, any product containing 0.5% ABV or less is considered alcohol-free.
Fun fact: many foods have some level of ABV due to their natural fermentation. Kombucha, breads made with yeast, overripe bananas, fruit juice, yogurt, soy sauces & vinegars can range from 0.2% ABV up to 1.2% ABV.
How do I use non-alcoholic spirits in cocktails?
