What is “sessional” or a session beer you ask? and why?

Any style of beer that is brewed to be low in alcohol (4.5% or lower) without sacrificing flavour or the malt to hop balance, resulting in an extremely drinkable beer. The purpose of these beers is to allow repeated consumption over a long session without overwhelming the palate or coherence of the imbiber. The traditional bitters and milds of England typify session ales, but most any style can be brewed to be sessional.

Less than 4 weeks until our 3rd Spring Session Cask Festival! Tickets are moving fast and we are nearly half sold!
