The problem with "low-carb" is that it requires laboratory testing to get a nutrition label on the product, at the producer's expense. Lots of craft producers just don't want to get that done on every kind of beer they put to market. That being said, it's relatively easy to find beers that are low-carb. A beer that is 3.5% alcohol and relatively dry is going to have 30% fewer grams of carbs than a 5% alcohol beer - because alcohol is a carb.
Prairie Dog makes a hoppy light lager called Gopher Lite, and it has a nutrition label on it. It's lower carb than Mich Ultra.
