    What are you favorite beers below 5% in Texas or from breweries available in Texas, even if they don't send that beer here?

    As a secondary question, what are best session beers or most interesting available anywhere?

    Commercial Suicide is usually my favorite go to session but I really like Oasis Easy Rider, Lagunitas Day Time and Boiler Room.

    Sour Commercial Suicide is probably my favorite of all time that I can think of right now.

    Texas: Boiler Room - I would add Zoe, LO Hef, and the SA Icon Bohemian Pils but they are all above your cutoff (5.2%)

    Outside: Alpine Babyface, 3 Brothers Drift, Bells Oarsman, FFF Gumballhead, Carton Boat

    Hey sorry everyone I don't know what my deal is today. The poll should say which city is closest to you? My kids didn't let me sleep much last night/this morning... I can't edit it anymore.

    Texas distro: Boiler Room, Einhorn, Commercial Suicide, Snorkel, Le Petit Prince, Live Oak everything under 5%, Aecht Schlenkerla Helles, Fritz Berliner weisse, Schneider Weisse Tap 1, Reissdorf Kolsch (if you can find it fresh)

    Texas needs a British beer equivalent of Live Oak making actual session beers.

    Boiler room and Le Petit Prince are my go-to session beers although I'm currently crushing tons of Prairie Tulsa Rugby Ale (5.4%) and Westbrook Gose

    ...is not a session beer, even by BA's quite loose standards.

    True I took a look and the only beer they had on their site below 5% was einhorn and peacemaker, but on BA peacemaker shows at 5.1 so I dont know what thats about...

    Boiler room. Need to start buying by the case

    Recall enjoying Golden Opportunity when I lived in Dallas but been a long time since I last tried.

    Had a Ballast Point Even Keel that is a pretty solid session IPA. Easy Jack is up there for me too, but I'll have to agree with everyone else on boiler room. Got some woodruff syrup on amazon (not the best quality stuff but its not bad and gets the job done) and I'm most likely gonna get a keg of Boiler Room soon for the kegerator.

    Real Ale Gose has probably been my favorite beer of the summer as far as things I can session.

    I tried even keel last night, it was pretty tasty stuff. Not sure how I went this long without having it... I was impressed how low the ABV was on that beer, its like a super session!
