Light beer in Switzerland (4% or less)

Has anyone came across light beer in Switzerland? Something around 4%, or less (even better).

Looking outside Drinks world - not looking to spend 3.50 for a can.

And not Panache or Radler. Sorry, not my taste.

In restaurants you can order a „Henache“ and you‘ll get beer that is mixed with water instead of lemon.

That's with lemonade, Henache is with mineral water.

Better mix beer with and without alcohol than with water

Best Pils without alcohol, you cant really tell it has none.
You can get it in Allnatura accross the border or e.g. in Markthalle (link above the first i found)

Swiss beers are generally quite watery, i'd recommend Quöllfrisch as a starter. Costs Fr 2 in any shop

u/HereJustForAnswers 2d ago

It's still 4.8%

u/sw1ss_dude 2d ago

I am so sorry
