Subject: Low Alc. Beer Question


I was looking over the BJCP guidlines for Ordinary Bitter, and the
range is 3.2 to 3.8% by Vol. Aren't there some styles (other than
near-beer) that have an even lower %? I was thinking around 2.5 or
so. Thanks.

Berliner Weisse goes down to 2.8%, I believe that is the lowest of all. It
is a sour beer made with lactobacillus, and is actually quite tasty mixed
with raspberry syrup, not to mention on its own. If you like yogurt or
cottage cheese, it's worth a try, but honestly, it doesn't even taste a lot
like either one of those. It's unique.

Look up English milds.
