Founded 1980 in California, this beer launched the American craft revolution and defined the Cascade hop.
The origin point of West Coast craft. “You can't talk about American craft without trying Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.”
Founded in 1980 by Ken Grossman in Chico, California. The Cascade-driven pale ale recipe defined the “American pale ale” style — a creation myth of the craft beer world.
Cascade citrus (grapefruit, pine) anchored by gentle malt sweetness — beautifully balanced. ABV 5.6%, IBU 38. Page one of the craft beer textbook.
Excellent with BBQ, grilled chicken, fish tacos, Caesar salad, and pizza. The perfect match with casual West Coast cuisine.
Serve at 8-10°C in a nonic pint or tulip. Freshness matters — drink new bottles.
Still owned by the Grossman family — an independent craft brewery. Beyond Pale Ale: Torpedo Extra IPA, Hazy Little Thing, Celebration, Bigfoot. The symbol of US independent craft.
