Remember our earlier post, in which we contemplated the differences between types of craft breweries? Well here's a new one: session brewing. Because that's how they do it at Notch Brewing in Ipswich, Massachusetts. There are two stories here, that of Session beer as a category and that of Chris Lohring, brewer and Notch founder.

It all comes down to thi...

There's an article about them over at NY Wine Salon that shows they're making an impact.
