    As a hophead, my ideal mixed case of session beer would be simple: One 6-pack of fresh FFF Zombie Dust, One 6-pack of fresh NG Moon Man, One 6-pack of fresh Lagunitas Born Yesterday, One 6-pack of fresh BP Grunion. If I was able to buy that case every month, I'd be happy for eternity.

    What's your ideal mixed case of session beer? It can be 12 pairs of beers, 24 unique ones or a solid case of your favorite. Whatever your heart desires. Go.

    These volumes aren't exactly gonna add up but whatever. Let's go with:

    3x Modern Times Fortunate Islands
    3x Von Trapp Pilsner
    3x Grimm Rainbow Dome (bomber)
    3x Evil Twin Geyser Gose
    3x Weihenstephaner Hefe
    3x CCB Maduro Brown Ale
    3x Captain Lawrence Grapefruit Effortless IPA

    Adjusting for some of those larger format cans/btls, that should be more or less a case.

    I know I would be content with a case of Perrin Gold (and my basement would reveal that to be true). To mix it up a bit, though, I can sub out 12 of those for 9 bottles of Palm Reader and 3 bottles of Mosaic Promise.

    Using under the 5% ABV level as being a session beer (I'd prefer under 4%, but we're not in the UK :slight_smile:) and assuming they all could be had in the same season:

    I'd opt for 6 each of:

    Yard's Brawler--English Dark Mild
    Yard's Philadelphia Pale Ale--APA
    Long Trail Havest--English Brown Ale
    Troeg's Sunshine Pils--German Style Pils

    4 - Super Session #2
    6 - Weihenstephaner Hefe
    6 - Jai Alai
    6 - DirtWolf
    2 - 120 Minute

    Figuring this is a weekend affair, I would have the lower ABV stuff during the day and the higher in the evening, making sure to save the 120 for a nightcap cigar.

    6.2%, 5%, 6.5%, and 5.5%?

    To each their own, but the Moon Man is the only one I can personally even begin considering a session beer.

    Even the breweries making their litany of session IPAs today are all making their beers fall between 4 and 5% ABV.

    Fun concept though.

    This is more like it. I also agree, wish they were all 4% ABV or less, but that's not realistic in the US market. Although there's FAR more offerings in that range today than years ago.
