IPAs

We introduced a generation to the glory of hops with our Pale Ale, but we kept pushing the limits. India Pale Ale, or IPA, is a beer style that flaunts hop flavor above all else—from bitter and piney to smooth and juicy—with a bolder alcohol content (ABV) than a pale ale. (Substyles like “session IPA” create exceptions, but we’re not here to split hairs.) Today, Sierra Nevada IPAs represent a constant hop exploration, and the lineup includes double IPAs, imperial IPAs, and more.
