### Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers. It's Saturday which means it's #beersaturday, And what a saturday it has been! ### Scotland showing everyone how you beat France at rugby! 50 points to 49, what a fluffing game! Back to today's post.. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23wCG1HjMWLxTu7mi4qcxNVRVKChpAMe8biiUmxZcW5p7commZ4E1Zy1uXh6JtnvnJyuy.png) You know, I do love a beer from a glass bottle, well most things are better out of a glass bottle or jar to be honest! ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23zGesWNt3dC9ArXWmvqGghMD5sbcVYbtFpEm4edAti7qXLgKkhFpwUGApM9aWdvSbHwv.png) ### Do you know the origins of Session? ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23wX3KejEXZ3Z42F5rKEBXPjRCiTYUUC4QKw8ugHH6WeYUB9nPggJVQ37dwwEBLSjaSfS.png) This is what gemini captured ... The modern concept of a "session" was actually born out of government restrictions during World War I: The Law: To keep munitions workers sober and productive, the British government passed the Defence of the Realm Act (1915), which strictly limited pub opening hours to two "sessions" (typically 12:00–14:30 and 18:30–21:00). The Beer: Because workers wanted to socialise but only had a few hours, brewers lowered the alcohol content. This allowed workers to have several pints during their break and still go back to the factory to safely handle heavy machinery (or artillery shells!). ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23xpAnEyctqvmmPSuGj3DB3nqeuhCKQdrGcPEUnuXvZKEb7wFpgXiwVqVoSP3WhqiuDBD.png) ### The bulbed glass perfectly held the bottle ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23xAc8kLHusZ8skQiV6NEM4PrJPvXaB2bBkmd6S4hvc5CarwqdYpiDEWYUHUSWU9GDien.png) Sneak peak of what the dinner was ... ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23xep3ZQv3QhTo9UfsY2yk1LbVAbk3at7UukM1Z7t6SbJMBp3KbXbtTbSFt2rfCEK5AVh.png) ### Dinner I actually had this on Thursday after I got home from physio. I had received an email on the way home enabling me to get that pizza and some jalapeno bites. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23u6KzxVAjug4dZu6Xr15BDtQFrY51jAe24qeoccYuK7a22cYSJLkHDztuGc5Z7Enj5pm.png) ### The Beer ... Old Session Hen is a light refreshing British session ale brewed by Greene King. ***Right enough you could have called it a lite beer!*** Old Session Hen was a fairly recent launch (hitting shops around early 2024) from the Greene King Morland Brewery. It’s essentially the "lighter, easy-going brother" of the classic Old Speckled Hen. It has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 3.4%. The beer is described as having zesty tropical aromas and a gentle bitterness. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tengolotodo/23wqs1hFKoKcWTQwRNBsphPZwt3ki2hwhRnNFiHH6EEhScud7SQGAR8N9L7ertfL3jXLW.png) ### My Verdict Session beers are so named because you can drink a session of them, ie a bucket load and nothing will happen. They weren't sweet and a pleasant swig to wash the pizza down with! ### Have you had a beer yet?
