Low-alcohol craft beers are trending

Craft beer drinkers are looking for goodness that won't put them down the next day and many brewers are responding with low-alcohol drinks packed with flavor. One example is Britain's Small Beer Brew Co which has added a 2.5% ABV Session Pale to its family of low-alcohol beers. With a “sociable” ABV, Session Pale has been developed to provide the enjoyment associated with drinking alcohol “without slowing you down”. In brewing beers that have a low ABV of 0.5% – 2.8%, Small Beer Brew Co is reviving a tradition lost in the 19th century. From 1600-1800’s, when clean drinking water was scarce and consumption could be fatal, small beer replaced water as the safer alternative.
