Originating with the development and spread of malty bright golden lagers during the late-1800's, light alcohol lagers have always been there.
Beers in the range of 4 % alcohol constitute the traditional norm in many areas of the world, not unlike the more accepted tradition of lower alcohol levels in fine English ales.
The emigration of continental peoples increased around 1900 at the same time as light-alcohol lager beers were becoming the favoured beverage in small European communities; so it is no surprise that this style was soon part of the North American brewing portfolio.
The re-creation of richly malted lighter-alcohol lagers is now part of the small brewer landscape.      
Smooth malty light lagers balanced with mellow hops for a refreshing finish - a memorable taste experience. 1038 1038
