    Allagash White. So much flavor out of a 5% beer. Love it!!

    Probably Cuvee Des Jacobins Rouge or Prima Pils.

    I love a good buzz to go along with my beer, but there are sooo many good beers I think people skip out on just to get more of their drug of choice...my favorite low ABV beer: any good Hefeweizen and Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout

    Have seen that in my local bottle store but up until now have not gotten it, probably due to unconscious regional discrimination. Will pick it up on my next payday beer haul!

    I'm sure there are a few but heres the first one that popped into my head:

    Muskoka Detour. Brewed by the Muskoka Brewing Company in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada

    It's a Session IPA that is quite gentle, yet full of flavour. It's become one of the regulars in my rotation since first trying it a few months ago.

    I'm sure many of these have been mentioned, but here are some of my low ABV faves:

    Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier (5.4%)
    Fullers London Porter (5.4%)
    Sierra Nevada Kellerweiss (4.8%), Tumbler (5.5%), and Summerfest (5.0%) - SNPA and SN porter almost made it @ 5.6%
    DFH Festina Peche (4.5%)
    Victroy Prima Pils (5.3%)
    Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Nut Brown, and Taddy Porter (all @ 5%)
    Left Hand Sawtooth (5.3%)
    Deschutes Black Butte (5.2%)


    And some local ones you won't find outside of southwest PA:

    Helltown Extra Sinful Bitter (5.0%) and Mischevious Brown Ale (5.5%)
    East End Brewing The Bitter End (3.8%) and Fat Gary's Nut Brown Ale (3.6%)

    Lots of people seem to think high ABV means more flavor so low ABV must mean less flavor, but nothing I mentioned above is watery or lacking in the flavor department.

    Did not see anyone mention Young's Double Chocolate Stout yet, so I'll give it a shout out.

    I can't believe this beer is only 5.1%; I think it is my favorite from Surly.
