Looking for thirst-quenching bevvies, perfect for summer, these are the ones they recommend stocking up on, in time for the weekend. I don't dry hop this beer - I just don't like how the resin feels/tastes in a low-ABV IPA. At flame out or in the whirlpool, double that amount and put two ounces (57g) of Amarillo in, and you're home free. To find the best session IPA, our Men’s Health panel of 10 taste testers were tasked with the tough job of trying 13 different session IPAs, all coming in at under 5% ABV. One ounce (28g) of Simcoe at the top of the boil should net you about 35 IBUs, and then add another ounce with five minutes to go in the boil.

Whether your drinking habits have increased over the past few months, or are nearer to non-existent, a session IPA could be a great gateway brew to get you back to normality.
