Session Beer

I’ve been confused for some time over what exactly a “session beer” is. I’m sure you’ve heard the term used. I’ve confused the term with any beer that would be great during an extended period of tasting. However, apparently the term dates back to the British World War I era to allow production workers licensed drinking time during the day. To allow the workers to go back to work, the beers were generally lower in alcohol content. Beeradvocate.com has a great article describing and defining the term here.
