This event is focused on “sessionable” ales in a variety of styles. Local brewers have been challenged to brew a low ABV ale, full on taste & flavour. There will be a People’s Choice award, as well as a prize for best ale as judged according to BJCP standards.

 The Cobalt, 917 Main Street  Saturday, May 10th 1-6pm

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 flavor 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.
