Pale Ale
A Craft Original
Heavy on hops, that was always the brewery plan. So in 1980, we loaded Pale Ale up with Cascade—a new hop at the time named after the mountain range—and the intense aromas of pine and citrus sparked the American craft beer revolution. 5.6% ABV
Hazy Little Thing | Hazy IPA
A hop-heavy, unfiltered, hazy little thing called IPA
Aggressively dry-hopped and less filtered because the haze is where the flavor is. 6.7% ABV
oktoberfest | FEstBier
Collaboration Festbier
This collab is 20 years in the making, back when our brewmasters were classmates in Berlin. Today, Kehrwieder is turning German craft beer on its head — just like we did stateside — and our mutual passion is fused in this Festbier that’s bright like polished copper, rich with biscuity malt, and balanced by a punchy blend of German and American hops. 6% ABV
Sunny Little Thing|Citrus Wheat Ale
Let the sun shine in
Bask in the sunny little thing, a wheat ale made with citrus for radiant flavor that’s bold yet easy going, and balanced by a soft and smooth finish. 5% ABV
mimosa | FERMENTED COCKTAIL
Pop the bubbly and let brunch begin.
This ready-to-drink wonder is a weekend dream. Strainge Beast Mimosa comes alive with wild, fizzy flavor that won’t sit still — just like your brunch crawl. Let’s see where the day leads. 7% ABV
Hop Splash | Sparkling Hop-Infused Water | Non-Alcoholic
Zero alcohol, zero calories, zero carbs, and zero sugar
Introducing Sierra Nevada Hop Splash, a sparkling hop-infused water that goes 100% on hop flavor and nada on everything else: zero alcohol, zero calories, zero carbs, and zero sugar. 0% ABV
