Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (355ml)

The place that started it all. A timeless masterpiece. The No. 1 pale ale in the United States. This beer has won countless awards, and its history is the history of craft beer itself.

The beginning of it all.

A timeless masterpiece.

The No. 1 pale ale in America.

This legendary pale ale is America's No. 1 and has been brewed since 1980, and is the brewery's signature product.

The creation of this beer (and its use of Cascade hops) sparked the craft beer revolution.

What began as a homebrewer's dream has evolved into a byword for craft beer, influencing countless brewers and captivating drinkers for over 30 years with its unique whole Cascade hop aromas and flavors of pine, grapefruit and citrus.

It has always been, and will always be, made using 100% natural ingredients, brewed with the highest quality malt, whole hops, homemade yeast and spring water, bottled, and with a refreshing, robust flavour.

It is the brewery's flagship product, accounting for 60% of its sales, boasting sales of an astounding $112,000,000 (approximately 13.5 billion yen).

And sales continue to grow every year.

Having won four gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival and countless other awards, it is no exaggeration to say that the history of this beer is the history of Cascade hops and craft beer itself.

Cascade hops first hit the market in 1971, and luckily caught on to the emerging craft beer trend, which led to the huge success of the beer and has since become synonymous with American hops.

With its completely different character from the European hops that had come before, it rewrote the history of American brewing, and it is even said that "Cascade hops themselves created craft beer."

In fact, the American pale ale style was created using Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Cascade hops.

Beautiful amber color.

Distinct floral and citrus hop aromas and warm malt flavor.

It has a perfect medium body, a light mouthfeel, and the hop character reminiscent of lush grass and floral notes is well balanced with the sweetness of the malt, resulting in a refreshing taste.

It has a dry finish with a hoppy, bitter aftertaste, and is an addictive flavor that you'll want to drink again and again, just as you'd expect from the original American pale ale.
