I agree pretty much with most of your opinions here (can't say anything about Founders or Lagunitas Daytime since I've not had them though you're right that Lagunitas produces great beer). Good stuff.

 

[thebushman82]

Well you should try both if you ever get the chance. Awesome beers. Thanks for watching!

Session beers are for those who hearken back to their college days where they could drink a twelve pack of weak-*** beer in an afternoon and not really get drunk.

Bud heavy has an ABV of 5%. Most sessions are right around that. While the point is to be able to drink more without getting totally shitfaced, they also deliver that hoppy goodness some people enjoy.

I don't see what's so bad about them. I love them. They are not that weak but who says you can't drink a few, that ya gotta get hammered?

Oh, I just find the whole name of "session" amusing. I just hope we don't call Natural light a "Session American Light Lager."

I actually find the movement in the session direction refreshing since it's seemed like everyone has been focusing on cramming an extra .2% ABV into IPA (and other 'imperial' beers) while sacrificing other dimensions of their beer.

I wouldn't put it past the big breweries in hopes to cash in on the craft beer uprising.

I couldn't agree with you more though.

Ah. So, I've been a Sessionist Aficionado for some time now.**
