    I am going to a party on Friday and need some low ABV's to bring along. I know Lagunitas just released Daytime so I'll be looking for that. What else is a tasty option that is easy to find?

    I have seen Founders All Day IPA around (4.7%) from an 8/9/2012 bottling but even that is starting to lose its hoppiness.

    lol basically that is just stuff that ive had that i could come up with quickly. They aren't all world class but some of them are really good. Avril is another that shouldn't be too hard to find but is fantastic. Schlenkerla Lager is pretty low, probably 4.3, that one is awesome.

    Ooo, Avril sounds good. Do most stores carry this? I haven't seen it but have never been looking, either.
