The Australian Brewery's David Ward will show even the uninitiated how to become an authority on all things beer.

Everyone has to be mindful of how much beer they drink, particularly when they have to drive.

However, drawing the short straw and ensuring you stay below the legal limit doesn't have to be a chore.

The quality of light beer can be quite unpredictable in this country as brewers focus more on keeping the alcohol content down and less on flavour.

This has resulted in lots of mainstream light or low alcohol beers being quite thin on the palate or "watery".

The AB Light does not succumb to this trend as several factors come together to ensure the beer is still packed with flavour.

The full taste and darker colour are the results of oats and rye used during the early brewing process.

Hops are added at the end of fermentation to add even more flavour.

This beer certainly sacrifices nothing in flavour for its alcohol content of 2.9 per cent.

It won Champion Reduced Alcohol Beer at the Royal Adelaide Show and this beer has quickly earned respect in the brewing community.
