    Never understood "session beer"...

    Really. I kind of figured it was a beer that one could drink more than one or two of at a time and was largely low alcohol beers.
    Personally, i "sessioned" 5 Golden Monkeys last night, topped off with 3/4 of a bottle of Rose'.

    But tonight, I think I get it. I'm on number 6 of DFH SEA Quench Ale... feel good, not drunk.

    Am i sessioning?

    A session should taste refreshing on a hot day.

    it was invented before the marketing in utah figured out how to rebrand.

    Would session beer be a good beer for doing beer yoga?

    Want to hang out? It's always good to hang with like minded folks. Just the other day I sessioned a 6 pack of Beer Camp.

    Also don't understand: tulip glasses. I want a pint. I don't care if it's a 4.2 "session" IPA, Golden Monkey, or a 10.9% double...I.WANT.A.GOD.DAMN.PINT!
    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    This...

    Who ever walked into a bar and asked for a tulip? Besides Benny, of course.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    Horses for courses, there are different styles of glasses that suit different types of beers. A pint glass is, of course, the jack of all trades. The real problem is that douchy places are just using the damn 10oz tulips on whatever high ABV or expensive shit that they have, regardless of the style. Ive gotten some sours that, while absolutely delicious, 10oz is about all I could do.

    I love big, 16 oz DIPAs but you can't drink those back to back to back. Session beers are basically in betweener beers.

    Have your wife finish the rest in the glass, pussy! Perhaps you misread my statement: I.WANT.A.GOD.DAMN.PINT!

    All beer used to be session beer, pretty much. Then crazy hopped IPAs with 12% ABV that are thick like a milkshake became the fashion. Now, you have to specify "session" if you don't want something that will stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth and leave you on the floor after two beers.

    this is a great session beer. I could swear that they used to explicitly say "session" on them, but don't seem to anymore.

    Heh. Want a "session" beer? Go into a UT grocery store and pick anything off the shelf you want!

    As a hopeless lightweight, I love the "3.2%" (4% ABV) rule and hope it never goes away. Shit, I'd drink non-alcoholic beer if you could buy one that didn't suck.

    I'm pretty sure 5+ drinks in one sitting is actually defined as binge drinking, not sessioning

    Man, I "Sessioned" 4 Tecates on the tailgate yesterday after a ride. Then continued to "Session" 4 more IPA's on the drive home (not driving). Then "Sessioned" a few more at the local pub with some shots of bourbon. I'd say it was a pretty good "Session" all in all.

    Agreed. Getting together to drink lots of low(er) ABV beer is drinking. Getting together to burn one is a session.
