Sierra Nevada
Featuring Pale Ale

Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale
Ale, is a delightful interpretation of a classic style.

It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied,
complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops
give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.

“Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the flagship beer, the one that made
Chico famous. It is a flawless beer that opens with bright, perky high
notes of maltiness and orange blossom and segues into a delectable hoppiness.”

WHAT TASTES GREAT WITH
PALE ALE?
While we think Pale Ale tastes great with everything, its assertive hop flavor goes especially well with spicy cuisine, since its clean flavors counterbalance the richness of many hot dishes. It also goes well with starters and salads, its spicy complexity stimulating both appetites and conversation.

POURING THE
PERFECT BREW

sierra brewery

1. Start with a perfectly clean glass.
2. Holding it at a 45-degree angle, begin pouring beer down the inside of the glass, holding the bottle about one inch above the rim of the glass.
3. When it is about half full, gradually bring the glass to an upright position and pour the remaining beer straight into the center of the glass, producing a perfect 3/4" to 1" head.
4. Enjoy!

What's the difference between an ale and a lager?
The difference between ales and lagers has nothing to do with strength, color, or bitterness. It’s the yeast and the fermentation temperature. Ale yeasts ferment best at warmer temperatures — up to about 75° F. Because a yeasty foam rises to the surface of the beer, these are known as “top-fermenting” yeasts.

Lager yeasts, on the other hand, prefer cooler temperatures. They are called “bottom-fermenting” yeasts because they sink to the bottom of the beer during the cold storage period traditional for lager beers. This process removes haze and gives lagers their characteristic clean, rounded tastes.
