    I could definitely drink Sixpoint Crisp and Lagunitas Daytime anytime, and to a lesser degree, Goose Island 312.

    For me it's NG Spotted Cow. Clean, crisp and easy to drink.

    Boulevard Pilsner is a great session beer. If I want more flavor and abv, then Free State Copperhead.

    SN Kellerweis is one of my choices because it's so readily available and tasty any time of the year, even if the ABV is a little high.

    Really digging this thread, as most people are posting beers with a reasonable abv. Maybe these "best session beer" threads are better because there appears to be more offerings that are low abv from brewers now.

    FatHeads has one called Sunshine Daydream that clocks in at 5%, tap only, very tasty when I can find it.
    Also All Day, Day Time, Bitter American get a lot of time when they're around. I prefer to drink a lower alcohol beer 'cause I don't like to fall down.

    I like Polygamy Porter. While it can't compare to higher ABV porters, at 4% ABV, I think it has a lot of flavor. I look forward to skiing at Alta in Utah, having a 16 oz pour for lunch, and being ski afterwards. I wish it were available in Washington DC.

    Also at 4%, I like Uinta Baba Black Lager. It is available in DC, so it is one of my go to session beers. At 4.4%, 21st Amendment Bitter American is also pretty tasty.

    Carton Boat Beer continues to impress me. Super sessionable and with a wallop of grapefruity hops.

    Levitation is the old standby.

    Anchor Steam is one of my favorites. Such a unique flavor. Have some in my fridge right now. Oh so tempting.

    As much as some folks may knock Sam Adams (are they craft, are they not? (which by definition they are)), I like Boston Lager. Abv is mile, taste is up there, and it's not too expensive.

    Many BAs haven't grasped the difference between a session beer and a sessionable beer.
    The first is a purpose brewed drink of low gravity, generally restricted to 4% ABV , the second is whatever you like to drink a few of.
    It's like a screwdriver and a kitchen knife. A screwdriver is designed for the purpose, you can undo a screw with a kitchen knife but that doesn't make it a screwdriver , just something that can be used to drive screws.
