    YES! I tweeted just last week that I would kill for a Berliner Weisse, even a bad one, in cans. I drink gallons of Hottenroth in the summer but just hate bringing 750s camping.

    Right now I'd have to go with Carton's Boat Beer. It's a friggen huge grapefruit bomb, and yet only 4.2%!

    Drakes Alpha Session is good. Zombie Dust as well, but is a bit higher in alcohol compared to the Drakes.

    I would call a session somewhere along the lines of 8-10 beers. 8-10 hours of drinking. Budweiser for cost, and Double Agent IPL for flavor. Both are right at 5% ABV, and when I drink a session I want to get drunk.

    Adnams Bitter is good stuff. I need to try many more session beers before I can say which is "best" though!

    Although I don't get it often, when I can I drink the hell out of Victory Donnybrook Stout - 3.7%.

    Bell's Oarsman. 4% exactly.

    Learn what a session beer is: 4% and under.

    Call a beer above that a sessionable beer, a succession beer, or whatever, but it's not a "session beer."

    Uncle Monty's Best Bitter a limited release from Granville Island. I'm not a fan of the Granville Island Brewery, but I found this to be a solid variation on a English Bitter, with citra hops and coming in at around 3.6 ABV, a true session ale.

    Dupont Avril is a fantastic session beer. Lots of flavor and complexity and its so frickn drinkable! 3.5% abv. And its shelf beer that only costs around $7-8 dollars for a C&C 750ml bottle.
