A decade ago, session beers weren’t really a “thing”. Thankfully today, there’s a growing range of drinkable beers made with low and no-alcohol (session beer typically comes no higher than 5% ABV), and restrained levels of bitterness, all the while retaining buckets of flavour. Meaning you can keep both your tastebuds satisfied and your senses sharp.

Toast’s Picks

Export Citrus 0% (0%)

This unique beer is brewed using malted barley, hops, water, yeast and natural lemon juice, and uses a special cold yeast process for a full-flavour beer with virtually no alcohol.

Heineken Light (2.5%)

This premium, smooth-drinking lager is brewed with full-on malt and Cascade hops to give the beer floral and citrus notes, plus a slight bitterness.

Macs Mid Vicious (2.5%)

A beer with maximum character and taste, this pale ale may be low in alcohol but it has hardcore hop aromas and subtly fruity hop flavor.

Stoke 2 Stoke (2%)

Made with organic Nelson hops and premium malt, this low-alcohol and low-carb craft beer has full flavor but light body, with soft fruity flavours and an unmissable honey aftertaste.
