| Small beers, extra light alcohol beers, dinner beers, breakfast beers .... Whatever they are called, the existence of lower alcohol alternatives has been a part of brewing for a very long time. |
| After drawing off a first mash for a 5 % or greater beer (remembering the likely lower fermentability of ancient beers); left behind would be a potential second mash to provide a small beer of lower alcohol. |
| Such a lighter alcohol beer style would have once been the everyday beverage for many peoples;and today such lighter alcohol variants are seen as alternative beers for special occassions. |
| Brewers across New Zealand and Australia have long found success in brewing beers in the 2.0% to 3.5 % alcohol by volume range. |
| This style of beer can provide a great alternative for the beer lover who wants minimal alcohol, but the refreshing taste of beer. |
