North Peak's New Session IPA

Via Kalamabrew: North Peak Brewing Co. releases the Wanderer, a session IPA

And Archangel Summer Wheat will be back on May 15th.

If you're wondering what a "session beer" is the best explanation I found is at BeerAdvocate: Session Beers, Defined
Any beer that contains no higher than 5 percent ABV, featuring a balance between malt and hop characters (ingredients) and, typically, a clean finish - a combination of which creates a beer with high drinkability. The purpose of a session beer is to allow a beer drinker to have multiple beers, within a reasonable time period or session, without overwhelming the senses or reaching inappropriate levels of intoxication. (Yes, you can drink and enjoy beer without getting drunk.)
