When I ran to the liquor store hoping to pick up a reasonable beer to wash the taste of the horrible Sam Adam Foreskin Spiced Latte out of my mouth, this called out to me as something that probably would taste akin at least to a Michelob, Budweiser’s less diabetic brother. Session Premium Lager is your typical American lager but done well. I smell lemony hops and Ritz crackers. Strong malts almost overpower the taste but it finishes semi-dry. This is a dangerously drinkable beer. A man with a twelve-pack is akin to a seven year old fat kid with a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies; they’re going to be mostly gone by the end of the night. There’s nothing truly unique to make Session Premium Lager worth seeking out though. There are better American and European lagers, there are more flavorful beers, there is nothing actually memorable in these grenade bottles but it doesn’t do anything wrong and it isn’t watered down for 22 year olds in cargo shorts.

Your beer reviews are hilarious.
Cory, do you have a favourite type of beer? I think I’ve gathered that you’re anti-IPA.
But I find lagers too sweet. ‘Sup?
Chimay Blue!
Cory, I have to ask—where are you from?
I ask because, being a Wisconsin native, lines about a 12-pack being “mostly gone” by the end of the night give me a chuckle. As our beer-guts will attest, where I’m from a man with a tasty 12 pack is going to finish it by early evening and then head to a tavern to drown in cheap liquor and full-flavor (e.g. warm) Old Milwaukee
