There's no reason a beer can't be excellent just because it has low alcoholic strength. The key is balance, which is why there's no way I can see Guinness watering down the regular black stuff. There are some beers brewed to a high gravity and blended with lower gravity beers to produce remarkably good hybrids. Guinness, in fact, is made by a simlar production process to ensure consistency.

Still no one tried this stuff in Limerick? Do we have Catters in Limerick?
