Full Sail releases Session Hazy IPA in new Session Variety Pack

When Full Sail Brewing launched the Session brand 16 years ago it was a runaway success, one of the first viable commercially successful craft lagers all packaged in odd stubby little red bottles. Originally intended as a standalone brand (separate from Full Sail) of bottled only lager, the Session line has now been embraced by the brewery with a stream of variations that break out of the original lager mold.

The new Session Variety Pack bottles, show how far the Session brand has come and the latest variety Session Hazy IPA is a big departure from the original. This April, new Session Hazy IPA joins Session Hefeweizen, Sesión Cerveza and Session Premium Lager in the Variety 12-pack which will be a rotating, handpicked selection of the best each season has to offer.

“Each Session in this variety pack is full of flavor and goes down clean and smooth,” says Full Sail Brewmaster Greg Doss. “Whether you’re on our Pub deck in the spring or having a beer after work, you just can’t go wrong with our Session Hazy IPA, Session Hefeweizen, Sesión Cerveza or Session Lager.”

Session Hazy IPA
Don’t let the letters IPA fool you… this well-balanced beer is high on flavor, low on bitterness and has a silky, smooth finish. Session Hazy IPA is super drinkable, packed with fruity aromatics and juicy tropical flavor and dry hopped with an abundance of Ekuanot and Mosaic hops. Join the haze craze.  5.0% ABV


Session Hefeweizen
When it grains it pours. A premium American-style Hefeweizen that is medium-bodied and features aromas of malted wheat with a citrusy hop finish and, as with all great Hefeweizens going back to their German roots, just enough residual yeast to give it a hazy golden pour.  5.4 % ABV


Sesión Cerveza
Sesión Cerveza Mexican Style Lager is loco bueno cerveza. Light, refreshing and totally drinkable, it’s pure gold in a bottle, made for a hot day, a hot date and everything in between. Sesión knows how to fiesta.  4.5% ABV


Session Premium Lager
This is the Session that started it all – a classic, all-malt craft lager that’s crisp, smooth, and refreshing. Named #1 American Lager by the New York Times, Best of the Northwest Lager by Sip NW Magazine and voted Best Craft Lager by The Full Pint, Session Premium Lager is as popular with the critics as it is with all us beer lovers.  5.0% ABV


The Session craft-beer brand has since brought home more than 100 medals, including 58 golds. Session’s not a micro, a macro, or an import, but in a way it’s a little bit of each.
