Sober Carpenter at Village Food Markets Sooke

Whether you’re the designated driver or just want a refreshing option, Sober Carpenter offers an award-winning lineup of full-bodied, flavourful beers — without the alcohol.

Founded in 2019 by brothers Nicolas and Stéphan Lavoie from Montreal, Quebec, Sober Carpenter was born out of a personal lifestyle shift. As the brothers began exploring moderation, they noticed a major gap in the market: while traditional beer offered a rich, complex experience, non-alcoholic options were often lacking in flavour and quality. Rather than compromise, they saw an opportunity to bring true craft brewing to the alcohol-free world.

After five years in the business, Sober Carpenter has grown into one of Canada’s leading non-alcoholic breweries. Their secret is a dedication to traditional craft brewing methods — using malted barley and hops with time-honoured fermentation techniques — paired with cutting-edge technology that gently removes the alcohol without compromising taste.

You can find Sober Carpenter and other non-alcoholic options in our aisle #2.
