#FullSailBrewing is one of Oregon’s oldest breweries, anchoring the beer scene in Hood River with a number of classic beers, including its Session Lager series, first introduced in 2005. Session was as much a marketing campaign as it was an easy-drinking lager, introduced in the iconic 11-ounce stubby bottles, designed to grab Pabst Blue Ribbon drinkers.
