	Small beer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because alcohol is toxic to most water-borne pathogens, and because the process of brewing any beer from malt involves boiling the water, which also kills them, drinking small beer instead of water was one way to escape infection.
		These beers can be as strong as a mild ale, depending on the strength of the original mash.
		Small beer was also produced in households for consumption by children and servants.

	Steelhead Root Beer - Root Beer History
		With beer being the safest form of drinking liquid, which every healthy body needs, it was important to have a very low alcohol beer for an everyday water substitute, especially for children.
		There were three ways to brew small beer; either it was made from the small bits of sugars left in the grains after a strong beer was made, or it was made with a very small quantity of grain, or it was drunk very young and sweet before fermentation was completed.
		Root beer purists claim that the flavor of artificial sassafras is not the same as the original, and they complain that many modern root beers rely too heavily on wintergreen, anise, cloves, lemon oil and orange oil.

	Modern Brewery Age: The case for a small supplier exception to the beer franchise laws
		Part five suggests that most current beer franchise laws be amended to accommodate small independent suppliers by adding a threshold test to determine when the laws' good cause and other termination restrictions trump the agreement of the parties.
