Small beers are few and far between. Simple table beers can be excellent adjustments for the palate that has been wrecked by hops or puckered by sour. Want an example? Famille a Small Oat Saison from Cellador Ales.

Here is the backstory on this beer from the brewery, “Brewed with Pilsner Malt that was grown in California, and malted in Alameda by Admiral Maltings. We also used California grown un-hulled French Black Oats from Tehachapi Grain Project. This is a very simple and light beer, brewed to showcase the flavors of high quality California grown ingredients along with our house mixed-cultures. We call it the Pilsner of wild ales. It has a very restrained acidity and high drinkability.”
