The beginning of it all.

An eternal masterpiece.

America's #1 Pale Ale.

Brewed since 1980, this legendary Pale Ale is America's #1 and the brewery's flagship product.

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

Starting as a homebrewer's dream, it evolved into a synonym for craft beer and influenced countless brewers. Its unique pine, grapefruit, and citrus aromas and flavors from whole Cascade hops have captivated drinkers for over 30 years.

It has always been, and will always be, brewed with 100% natural ingredients, using the highest quality malt, whole hops, proprietary yeast, and natural water, bottle-conditioned, and maintaining its refreshing and robust flavor.

It accounts for 60% of the brewery's sales, boasting an impressive $112,000,000 (approximately 13.5 billion yen) in revenue.

And its sales continue to grow every year.

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

Cascade hops first appeared on the market in 1971 and, fortunately, rode the nascent wave of craft beer. With the huge success of this beer, Cascade hops have now become synonymous with American hops.

With a character completely different from European hops of the time, it rewrote American brewing history, and it's even said that "Cascade hops themselves created craft beer."

And indeed, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Cascade hops created the American Pale Ale style itself.

A beautiful amber color.

Distinct floral and citrus hop aromas with a warming malty flavor.

A perfect medium body with a light mouthfeel, the grassy and floral hop characteristics are well-balanced with the sweetness of the malt, creating a refreshingly exhilarating taste.

The dry finish with a hoppy and bitter aftertaste makes it an addictive beer that you'll always want to drink again and again, truly befitting the original American Pale Ale.
