When 2 Crows Brewing opened a few years ago they offered a Table Beer at 3.5%. At that time it was novel and bucked the trend of 7.5% milkshake IPAs. It was refreshing (no pun intended). I’ve since seen a couple more at local breweries and always try them as I can see it being much more difficult to make a tasty light beer than it is to make a hop bomb with a ton of lactose.
Zip is also from 2 Crows Brewing with an alcohol content of only 2.8%. Must say, not a fan. Not because it lacks flavor (quite the opposite) the strong flavors aren’t really to my taste. Too tart and too much coriander. Took me more than an hour to get through it. Also, pricing sucks. This one was $4.
I really like the idea of ultra light beers though. Is this a beginning of a trend in your breweries?
