One you can drink for an entire session. For example, if you were to knock back pints of 3.5% ABV IPA over the course of an evening, you'd be rather less trashed than if you were drinking something like Fullers 1845 at 6.3% One would keep you merry through the whole session, the other would have you flat on your face before teatime.

There's a little more too it than that, IME. If you're at a beer festival or brewery tour or whatever, sampling the various wares, and someone is heard to say "this would make a good session beer", it means that that is a beer they'd be *prepared* to drink exclusively over the course of several to many pints. So it's not just about strength, it's about being pleasant to drink, suiting the palate, not being too hoppy or too dark, etc. SignatureCB500 (blue + flies) > >> What's a "session beer"? > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > not just about strength, it's about being pleasant to drink, suiting > the palate, not being too hoppy or too dark, etc. Yes, but that goes without saying.
