Your favorite session IPAs

Does 5% make the cutoff? A lot of the Samuel Smith beers are right there- Oatmeal Stout, Nut Brown, Taddy Porter.

 

Guinness? Also, looking at the Irish Dry Stout category there seems to be quite a few options. I haven't had a lot of experience with the style personally.

Did two threads get merged by the way? The session beers that I like most that are in the Northeast are Eureka from Tree House and Jabby Brau from Jack's Abby.

 

It really is flavorful. I dislike the majority of session IPAs, but I really dig this one. And at 3.8% the amount of flavor is impressive. Also, at 3.8%, it's one of the most sessionable beers at my local. I almost always pick some up, I wish more beers were < 4%.

 

I'll name one...Carton Boat beer. Once you drink it, you'll know why.

If you're reasonable close to NJ, it's worth getting.

 

I think it's only available at the brewery, but I recently tried Allagash Table Beer and was quite impressed

 

Dfh 120 min ipa?

 

Pilsner Urquell
Fuller's London Pride

 

Lakefront Extended Play, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed, Stone IPA.

 

Whenever these "session beer" threads come up I always say...

21st Amendment Bitter American

 

Victory Hop Devil , always have it on tap at the house all year long..

 

I dunno, I liked the Goose Island Endless IPA, Firestone Walker Easy Jack. Best I had was on tap at Victory - D'town Fresh Hopped Session IPA.

 

First I would just like to say that over the years I have always found your posts to be informative and well thought out, and I appreciate that. When was this released? I haven't seen it in VA and I really want to try it. Sixpoint doesn't get the love they deserve in my opinion.

Cheers Jack!

 

Sixpoint Sensi Harvest Ale is a seasonal beer that was released a little over a month ago.

Sixpoint has a nifty tool called Beer Finder: http://sixpoint.com/connect/finder

Plug in your zip code and select the beer of interest (SENSI) and hopefully it will come up with a map/list of local retailers that have Sensi available for purchase.

Another option is to contact Shane Welch (@Sixpoint); we are fortunate that Shane is a regular BA participant.

I hope that you can find some Sensi. I really enjoy that beer!

Cheers!

 

Agreed - Carton Boat is very tasty - hard to believe they get that much flavor at less than 5% ABV, plus 16 oz. cans are great for tailgating . . . close second to Founders All Day

 

It looks like my local bottle shop should be getting some, perhaps it hasnt arrived yet. I have communicated with Shane in the past, and it is really great that he takes the time to respond to folks on this forum. I work as a commercial brewer and its refreshing to see some representation on the brewery side.

 

“It looks like my local bottle shop should be getting some,…” Sweet!

“I have communicated with Shane in the past, and it is really great that he takes the time to respond to folks on this forum.” Yes, Shane is a real asset to the BA community.

Cheers!

 

My top five:

Contact High
Side Kick
Akari Shogun
Surly Hell
Ale Asylum's Bedlam

 

Fortunate Islands is perfect and always available to me.

Sensi and Invasion are both excellent but not readily available.

All three are better than All Day.

 

This.
