Session Beer

Session beer refers to a category of beer that is lower in alcohol content, typically around 3-5% ABV (alcohol by volume), allowing for more extended drinking sessions without becoming overly intoxicated. The term originated from the idea that it can be enjoyed over a period, like a social gathering or event, without overwhelming the drinker. Session beers often have a balance of flavor and drinkability, making them approachable for a wide audience. They're popular in social settings where people want to enjoy multiple beverages while still being able to engage and participate fully.
