Look through German- and American-style beer recipes of the classic pilsner—a pale lager with Bavarian origins—including National Homebrew Competition medal-winning examples. Browse through our entire homebrew recipe library.
Some of the lighter alcohol styles include Scottish Light Ales, Berliner Weiss, Ordinary Bitter, English Brown, English Mild and even Dry Irish Stout. These are probably better low calorie alternatives than Pilsner as you have the opportunity to maintain some flavor.
You are probably thinking to yourself, West Coast Brewer, why in the world would I brew a pilsner and even worse, a pilsner with corn adjunct in it? The simple reason is that it is delicious, especially with a meal or on a hot summer afternoon when you are feeling like something thrist quenching yet flavorful.
