Sessions have lower ABV. The terms comes from WWII era. During this period the workers were allotted two drinking periods or “sessions” of 4 hours each workday. This session called for a lighter beer than a higher ABV stout or porter, allowing workers to drink more beer without getting too drunk.

Oh, wow. Thanks for the info! I've learned quite a bit this past week doing this challenge. You've certainly contributed to my learning so again, thanks!
By the way, I had to google ABV. I correctly guessed what it was but couldn't quickly figure out the acronym. Seems obvious now that I know. :)
