Photo: Kevork Djansezian (Getty Images) We know low- and no-alcohol drinks have been gaining traction for a while now. The phenomenon has even introduced a new vocabulary— mocktails , Dryuary , sober curious —to our bar lexicon. Now file a new entry in that teetotaling dictionary: “Non-alcoholic spirits.” The progenitor of that category, U.K.-based Seedlip , calls itself “the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirits brand.” And it’s priced just like its boozy brethren, at $36 for a 23-ounce bottle. Founded in 2015, the company has made an international splash with its three products—citrusy Grove 42, cardamom-forward Spice 94, and botanical Garden 104—which are sold in 7,500 bars and restaurants around the world. That includes, according to a press release , 300 Michelin-starred restaurants. Its tagline: “What to drink when you’re not drinking.” And now, it’s been scooped up by multination

MIKE DREW/CALGARY SUN/QMI AGENCY MIKE DREW / SunMedia A panel to examine Alberta’s minimum wage and whether alcohol servers should be paid less will be announced Thursday. Labour Minister Jason Copping is set to announce the panel — including who’s on it and the timeline of their work — in Calgary Thursday afternoon, alongside University of Alberta economist Joseph Marchand. The move stems from the UCP’s election platform, in which it promised to appoint a minimum wage expert panel. The panel’s mandate will be two-fold, if it sticks to the election pledge. First, it will analyze and publish all available economic data on increasing Alberta’s minimum wage to $15 per hour. Second, it will figure out whether hospitality workers who serve alcohol should be paid less, as is the case in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.

After unrolling our yoga mats beneath massive crystal chandeliers in a space adjacent to the dining room of the Federal bar in downtown Long Beach, we were directed to select two types of locally brewed craft beers from a curated menu. Then, pint glasses in hand we took our places on our mats and waited for class to begin. No sipping, though, before the first asana . Beer yoga, it’s a thing. So are wine hikes in Malibu, and an Indian Wells Spa that hosts a slate of alcohol-fueled workouts, including Vino and Vinyasa (that’s wine yoga), Tan (the sanskrit word for stretching) and Tequila and Scotch and Stretching (that’s self-explanatory). Elsewhere, there are brunch runs, IPA 10Ks and even wine marathons (in France). Sure, folks have been pairing beer with bowling, skiing with schnapps and golfing with G&Ts for generations, but the latest iteration of happy hour fitness feels like the bar has been raised, quite literally, on working out. “It doesn’t surprise me that these
