Now fill your beer glass from the bottom.
If you look at the type of beer it is, this makes sense.

Not quite a iPhone app..
Why carry both your cellphone and a bottle opener when you can have it all in one? This black iPhone case has a bottle opener built in. This case will only fit the iPhone 3G and the 3GS.

I often wondered what people mean when referring to a beer as a session beer.
Hmmm.... :shock:

Here's an article claiming some history on the term "Session Beer".

http://beeradvocate.com/articles/653

-------------------------------------------------------------
Session drinking

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_culture

Session drinking is a chiefly British term that refers to drinking a large quantity of beer during a "session" (i.e., a specific period of time) without becoming intoxicated.[1] A session is generally a social occasion.

A “session beer,” such as a session bitter, is a beer that has a moderate or low alcohol content -— in the UK this would be no more than 4% ABV[citation needed]. The classic session beer is a bitter of about 3.7% or a dark mild of 3.2%.

In the United States, a recent session beer definition has been proposed by beer writer Lew Bryson. His Session Beer Project blog includes a definition of 4.5% ABV or less for session beer. Followers of this definition include Notch Brewing, a session only beer brand. The Brewer Association has adopted a new category within their Great American Beer Fest competition which states a "session beer" is from 4.0%-5.1% ABV. In December 2010 BeerAdvocate and Dogfish Head Brewery announced their Extreme Session Beer project which focuses on beers that are 5.0% ABV or under that rely on different ingredients and brewing practices.
