Small beer is a traditional mild alcoholic beverage originating from Europe, particularly popular in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is brewed using grains, water, and hops, with a lower fermentation temperature and shorter brewing time than stronger ales, resulting in an alcohol content typically under 3%. This drink was historically consumed daily, even by children, as it was safer than untreated water. Small beer is relatively low in calories and alcohol, making it a lighter choice compared to other beers; however, it still contains residual carbohydrates and simple sugars. It provides some antioxidants from hops, but nutritional benefits are minimal overall. While small beer is easier on digestion and less intoxicating, its healthiness depends on moderation, as excess consumption can contribute to long-term health concerns associated with alcohol. Today, it’s valued for its mild taste and historical significance in low-alcohol craft brewing.
