Best low ABV beers from large breweries

Even Keel session IPA - Ballast Point
Fierce Berliner Weisse - Off Color - Yuzu variation is even better!
Painted Turtle Session IPA - Buckledown
Cheers you Ingrates!

Large is a relative term. If my Smuttynose answer doesn't cut it, and if it's permissible to include the largest of the US "craft breweries" (even if they are tiny when compared to others), then I'll modify my US answer to:

- Victory Uncle Teddy's for draught
- Anchor Small Beer for a bottled option

 

This is a Weyerbacher beer, and a pretty good one from a brewery that makes a lot of high ABV beers.

 

Agh, good catch. Don't know what I was thinking as it's a regular go purchase for me.

 

Eureka w/ Citra - 4.2 % I believe. My favorite treehouse brew

 

DESTIHL Lynnbrook Raspberry Berliner Weisse. 3.00% ABV and 100% delicious.

If DESTIHL isn't large enough to fit the OP's criteria, then Lindemans Framboise or Kriek.

 

Only i can think of close is Yards Brawler in the lower 4% abv. Their pale ale in the lower 4% abv is also good for the abv.

A small brewer though. Round Guys Berliner at 3.8% is a good one

And ill be that guy to say Schofferhoffer Grapefruit Hefeweizen at 2.5% is good for what it is.

 

Lol yea. Most of their beers are up above 8% they also do mellow monks a low abv version if their tripel of the similar name very well. I enjoyed tarte nouveau but recently had one that was 7 months old and the brewer actually over the phone said although its >4% it should age well because its soured and it tasted like straight vinegar. So i wouldn't recommend aging them. but nonetheless a good beer.

 

Would like to second Anchor Small and suggest Bruery Hottenroth, both are quite welcome in my glass.

 

There are so,so many great sub 4% beers.Shipstones Original is one you will know.Adnams Southwold Bitter has already been mentioned.Woodfordes Wherry,Oakham JHB.I had Brewsters Marquis yesterday,gorgeous stuff but with a name like that it has to be good
From large breweries though? Chiswick Bitter,Boltmaker and Golden Best and do not forget that Greene King IPA won a major award once at the GBBF

 

Thwaites Champion Dark Mild (3.2%) in a can and Greene King IPA (3.6%) in a can.

 

Oskar Blues Beerito, my "pizza beer".

 

Deschutes River Ale. 3.9% abv.

 

This... so much. Whenever I find myself down in Mexico, this is all I seek to drink. Either that or Montejo to change it up.

 

Marquis, I agree with you on almost everything beer, but Green King IPA, NEVER!

 

Ah, forgot about Beerito, thanks for the reminder, the kids are going canoeing this weekend.

 

It is a beer I generally avoid but when it is the only one there I drink it. And at times when well kept it surprises me how much I enjoy it.

 

Lindemans Peche (2.5%) and Framboise (2.5%) seem to be the highest rated Lambics from a big distributor.
