Table beer is a name for beer types that have a low alcohol content (stem wort content between 1 and 2 degrees Plato). You could describe them as light beers.
These are often bottom-fermented beers. Table beer can be made by diluting existing types of beer with water, but there are also brands of table beers with their own taste.

In the Middle Ages and for centuries afterwards, because of the absence of clean drinking water, beer was often drunk with meals. The brewing process killed germs present in the water. This beer had a low alcohol content and was also given to children at the time.

Table beer is more popular in Belgium than in the Netherlands. A well-known Belgian table beer brand is Piedboeuf.
