Session Beer is defined by an ABV of 4% and lower, and by NOTHING else.

Winchester “Pub Ale” @HopRiverBrewing Lots of British character but I wish Iain would take the word ‘Session’ off the menu. @sessionbeer

I’m not trusting anyone under 50 to do this for me.
Two Chicago beer experts are introducing a new event concept inspired by omakase sushi restaurants, where diners place their trust in the chef to create a memorable meal, without knowing exactly what will be served. It's an experience built on trust, skill, and the joy of discovery. Learn about how they're bringing their curation and storytelling to the world of fermented beverages tinyurl.com/bieromakase

How many 4 (and sub 4) % beers at your local store? i.e., how much *actual* @sessionbeer do you have access to? My guess? Almost NONE.
Apparently today is #sessionbeer day or #sessionday Great, but remember if it's over 4% it ain't a @sessionbeer. Period.
Why not have a @sessionbeer (4% or less, only) today - IF you can find one!

Remember, if you are drinking a beer with any ABV above 4%, you are not drinking a session beer at ALL.

If 4.5, 5.0 or 6.0% ABV represents 'low' ABV beer in the US that's fine, just STOP calling it #sessionbeer. If it's above 4% it simply isn't

Session Beer is defined by ABV, NOT by actions. #sessionbeer
Don't confuse 'session beer' with 'sessionable beer'; NOT the same thing at all.
Keep it authentic America. DON'T call a beer over 4% a #sessionbeer - it's not.

Remember America, 4% ABV or under or it's NOT #sessionbeer at all.

A #sessionbeer must have an ABV of 4% or less. NOT 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.0 etc. LEARN here; bit.ly/it4ART
