Question
Ed
I just found out I am mildly allergic to hops.
Can you name any of the mass market beers that have low or no hops?

Answer
99.9% of the beer you can buy is made with hops, including 100% of the mass market beers.

You might want to try Miller as a test. They use the same hops as everyone else, but they only use part of the hop instead of all of it. I doubt if it really makes a difference, but you might try it.
