Sierra Nevada Across America Beer Camp

This beer has a bit of a back story. In preparation for the beer festival tour, we invited every single craft brewery in the country—nearly 2,800 of them—to pour at the festival closest to them. Instead of just sending a paper invitation (where’s the fun in that?), we brewed a special beer, slapped the invitations on the bottles and shipped them to our brewing brethren.

West Coast Double IPA—is a hop-bomb showcasing five hop varieties, two of which went into our “Hop Torpedo” and impart hints of grapefruit and a floral note that recalls orange blossom. The light malt body and dry finish make it deceptively drinkable. It’s a beer that’s big on the hop flavor we’re known for and that was brewed for our harshest critics: our peers.
