SIERRA NEVADA “Inspired by the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains, our beers are designed to be as bold, wild and unwavering as those storied granite peaks. With respect to tradition and an unbridled passion for innovation, Sierra Nevada beers are inspired by the philosophy that anything is possible”-Sierra Nevada New from Sierra Nevada is their Hop Hunter IPA. This new take on the American IPA uses an all-new method of steam distilling wet hops before they even leave the fi elds. This revolutionary technique captures and intensifi es the natural fl avors, creating a unique and intensely aromatic beer. We also have their classic Pale Ale that has a unique piney and grapefruit aroma from the use of whole-cone American hops. Torpedo Extra IPA is an aggressive yet balanced beer with massive hop aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. And their classic Porter, brewed in the hop-forward American style and featuring a depth of malt fl avor and complexity with roasted notes of black coffee and cocoa.
