Please share any examples of beers you've tried that were between 0.5-3% ABV that 'scratched the itch'...

The Big Drop stout was somewhat convincing to me.

According to Ratebeer there are low alcohol beers that are far more than just passable. For example..

Is Bellwood's Stay Classy still available at 2.8%? I believe I saw a 0.5% version recently.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Beau's Lug Tread 2.5 was sort of OK so long as you keep it nice and cold. Last tried in 2021.

I've been seeing these really highly rated nonalcohol beers from Eastern Europe, especially Poland. Wonder what their secret sauce is? I was thinking it would be cool to import some of them, but I don't know if it's cost-effective.

I'd recommend anything from Bellwoods, and Mikkeller if you find it. Also, Athletic and Partake are pretty good.

When I was in Ireland last spring, Guinness 0.0 was amazing. I've only seen it sold here by this Cambridge-based distributor. (Currently, they're out of stock.)
