I do like a good IPA but definitely agree with you in principle. More effort should be given to make tasty non-IPA ales that are more malt-forward and in the 4-5% ABV range. Nothing wrong with an amber ale, a brown ale, or an ESB. And please stop making session IPAs; they are almost all shit.

Like, a daily post work thing or whatever else. Just a perfect blend of haze and hops and freshness.

If the everyday version on tap at yr Oregon local is the same recipe or very close then I'm pretty jealous for sure...
Beaus, I could go for some lugtread right now. Did you ever goto their Oktoberfests? Great lineups
Never. Is it in brewery space or a hall somewhere close by? It'd be a hell of a cab ride to get home from there afterward haha...

I found and bought some yesterday still for sale at a local liquor store, obviously old stock. So I haven’t had my last one yet.

i usually love a good session ale but I hate it when they take the easy way out and make it an IPA. I do love a good IPA but when a brewery makes nothing but IPAs (or pale ales/other ales with as much hops as an IPA or more) I want nothing to do with those lazy hacks. Some brewery made an “India pale lager” and I wanted to fly a plane into a building as soon as I saw that.

I used to enjoy getting the mass-produced UK mid-tier pale ales and bitters every now and then. Bass of course, but Spitfire, Shephard Neame, Fuller's, etc. I don't think I've ever had a US ale that was balanced and clean like that. I don't think any of them except maybe Bass are available in locally any more.

My local supermarket's liquor department carries Samuel Smith's and Fuller's ales, some of my favorites, but unfortunately they don't clear out their stock when the beer ages past its "best by" date. Their shelves are a minefield of spoiled beer, particularly the imported shelves.

The UK does session beers better than just about anyone else.
