Non-Alcoholic Beverage Consumption and Interest
Across the country, purchases of non-alcoholic beer are relatively consistent, though marginally higher in Quebec. Interest in trial of these types of products is highest in BC and Quebec, compared with other parts of the country. By age, younger cohorts (including Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X) are more likely to have already purchased these types of products and are more interested in trying them out, with Boomers being the least likely to be interested or to have tried these products.
