You are going to need something a bit stronger than this 3.6% piss on Monday, it's even weaker than the normal piss, must be to avoid Duty.

Beer does not have to be strong to be decent, there has been a trend for ever stronger lagers and ales replacing traditional 3.5-4.5% session beers. One could be cynical and suggest it's a ploy by the capitalist brewers selling high strength alcoholic drinks to get as many people as possible hooked on their product, to keep them coming back with their wallets open. You rarely see an acoholic drinking a pint of mild. I think Harvey's Albion Ale is pretty decent, there are many bottled brews around the same strength that are excellent. I've even seen people choose wine based on its acoholic content, believing that higher alcohol means it's better wine. Of course, if you are just looking to get wankered then find something at 5.5 or 6% and convince yourself it's a better taste.
Oh, and Albion Ale has been available at the Amex since it opened 5 years ago.

I partly agree. But, I struggle with 3-4% beers as personally I don't think they taste as good. And I typically drink it by the half.
Have you tried Kernels Table Beer? That's around 3% and I think it's great. As for tasting as good, there are some spectacular milds around the 3-4% mark which are rich and full of body, try 'Pressed Rat and Warthog'. Sadly the likes of K&B Sussex, Pompey Royal, County Bitter and many others are long gone, all were around or below 4%. I agree, it's a rare thing to find a great lower alcohol beer, but not impossible.
I've not tried their table beer but I'm very familiar with their IPAs and stouts. A very good brewery. Most of the lower alcohol beers I've tried over the past few years have tended to be pale ales which for me just don't compare with their stronger cousins for flavour. Take Dead Pony versus Punk for example. But, you make a good point about milds; for me a much neglected style. I can imagine they will work better. Maybe I need to try a different type. I'll report back.
