Dear Brewmaster,

With March Madness here, I'm looking for a game day beverage that I can enjoy and not be sacked out after the first few pints. Any suggestions for me?

Thanks,
Barry from Sparks

Hi Barry,

Seems what you're looking for is what's called a "Session" beer. It's a style of beer with wonderful hop and malt flavor, but lower alcohol so you can enjoy it over the course of a few hours and not turn into a zombie. We've acutlly got a great Session ale on tap right now named Hop Session. Come on down and share a pint!

Cheers,

Tom
