10 Light Beers That Are Actually Good

虽然有人可能会认为这总是啤酒饮用的季节,但一年中的这个时候尤其成熟。但是,如果您像我们一样,您想享受啤酒,而不会破坏过去几个月中所做的辛勤工作。

您的解决方案:饮酒量低得多(ABV)。为什么?简而言之,较少的酒精等于更少的糖,而糖的含量则等于少的卡路里。(此外,啤酒厂不需要披露其卡路里计数,因此必须足够的猜测。)

We’re defining “low” as 4.5% or lower, though one of these dips all the way to 2.7%. (For reference, Bud Light weighs in at 4.3%.) The good news: We’re currently experiencing a boom in well-made, interestingly flavored light beers. As a generation brought up on craft brewing has aged, drinkers gained an interest in beers that lowered the intensity without sacrificing the flavor. The upshot: Here are 10 tasty beers you can imbibe without the guilt — or flabby consequences.

林荫大道未过滤的小麦|密苏里州堪萨斯城
ABV:4.4%

中西部人将很高兴得知这种啤酒在我们自我施加的极限之下,因为(无论如何,根据Boulevard的说法)这是该地区最畅销的手工艺品。这并不奇怪:它可以饮用(对于小麦而不是太甜),朦胧的身体容易下降。更好的是,Boulevard在过去几年中扩大了分销,因此比以往任何时候都更容易找到。

六点干扰器|NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
ABV:4%

这份清单上最不寻常的啤酒;这是一种戈斯(Gose),是一种酸啤酒类型,已成为Hopheads中的崇拜。然而,由于酿酒师的高雅(美味)处决,这并不是太酸的。对于希望进入酸游戏的啤酒迷来说,这是一个不错的切入点,或者是任何患有轻啤酒疲劳的人的前卫替代品。

ANCHOR SMALL BEER|加利福尼亚州旧金山
ABV:3.3%

The pioneering craft brewery also pioneered the light beer craze, introducing this tasty number way back in 1997. Anchor was inspired by the English tradition of “small beers,” wherein a barleywine brewer creates a lighter brew from the same source mash. (Hence the name.) It’s hoppier than you’d expect from a lighter beer, with a pleasant caramel finish. And while many beers on the list are summer offerings, this one’s available year-round.

Sly Fox O’Reilly的爱尔兰黑啤酒|宾夕法尼亚州波特斯敦
ABV:3.6%

它是违反直觉的,但是大多数黑啤酒的卡路里比浅色的弟兄们少。原因?麦芽是大多数啤酒酒精(阅读:糖)的来源,制作深色啤酒所需的麦芽量更少。(专家将其与食用色素相提并论,在这里做很多事情。)这就是为什么吉尼斯的卡路里比百威啤酒少的原因,这就是为什么这种特殊的烈性黑啤酒(具有微不足道的ABV)是一个特别饮食友好的选择。它也很满足,尤其是在用氮气中倒入草稿时。

Uinta Baba Black Lager|SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
ABV:4%

类似的逻辑也适用于黑色的啤酒。但是while the Sly Fox is generally available in the northeast, Uinta is available throughout much of the western United States. Its low ABV may owe something to its home state: Utah limits the ABV for beers sold at stores and establishments with a beer-only license, to … you guessed it … 4%. But much like an artist creating a masterpiece within defined limits, Uinta has brewed one of the country’s best-tasting beers, low-alcohol or otherwise. Its smoky, chocolatey goodness is well worth seeking out, especially in the colder months.

EVIL TWIN BIKINI BEER|丹麦
ABV:2.7%

As The New York Times put it recently, “The creators of some of the most distinctive craft beers in the world are identical twins from Denmark who can’t stand each other.” The older of the twins founded Mikkeller, while the younger founded Evil Twin (ha!) after advising World’s Best Restaurant™ Noma on its beer selection. So when Evil Twin — which is a nomad brewery, creating its beers at other brand’s breweries around the world — introduced this insanely low-alcohol brew in 2011, it heralded a new age of delicious low-ABV beers. Can-only, it’s citrusy and surprisingly hoppy. FYI: Because it’s 2017, there’s also a sour version, the appropriately named Sour Bikini Beer.

Narragansett夏季Citra Ale|罗德岛的帕塔基特
ABV:4.2%

‘甘塞特(Gansett)自19世纪以来就一直存在着(也许以标志性的“下巴”出现达到顶峰),而这种相对较新的投资组合与“ Hi-Neighbor!”一样友好。装饰罐子的座右铭。温和的,捏的果味,这是您夏季烧烤中每个人都喜欢的啤酒。它还与红袜队的追逐很好地搭配。

Dogfish Head Festinapêche|米尔顿,特拉华州
ABV:4.5%

这款迷人的桃啤酒是美国精酿啤酒商的巅峰时期的温和朦胧的家伙,在炎热的夏日是一个非常令人满意的选择。It’s a Berliner Weisse, which (per Dogfish) is traditionally served with a dash of essence of woodruff or raspberry syrup to dampen the harshness — which you won’t need to do, since (again, per the brewer) the yeast eats up the peach sugars. Bonus: That also keeps it diet-friendly.

布鲁克林1/2啤酒|布鲁克林,纽约
ABV:3.4%

事实证明,布鲁克林半场不仅仅是在Jay-Z的家乡经过13.1英里的跑步。经过一项良好的奔跑,这也是Quaff的完美之处 - 一种未经过滤的农舍啤酒,其强大的表亲的所有风味。像大多数农舍啤酒一样,这与任何新鲜和时令的东西都很好(好吧,好的奶酪盘,但我们不会说)。

ROSS ISLAND BITTA|俄勒冈州波特兰
ABV:4.4%

Naturally, the city with the most breweries per capita has embraced the low-ABV boom. In fact, at a new spot called Sessionable, that’s all you’ll find: lower-alcohol beers like this one, which happens to be brewed just down the road. It’s an English Bitter, with limited distribution, but the beer — like the bar and restaurant where we found it — is worth the effort.
