Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA

A choice as easy as 1-2-3.1. The #1 best-selling Hazy IPA three years in a row2. The #2 best-selling IPA overall in 20223. The #3 overall best-selling craft beer in the US in 2022Making our delicious haze starts before we even fire up the kettle. Oats and wheat—both malted and unmalted varieties—are critical to the recipe, down to their exact makeup of proteins, beta-glucans, diastatic power, and other beer-nerdy specs. Once we’re brewing, this precise grain foundation interacts with the polyphenols (think pre-haze molecules) in colossal volumes of lupulin hop dust, which is basically the pure flavor from inside hop cones, to generate a smooth and juicy haze. We chill our fermenters at slightly higher temperatures than normal so the haze doesn’t fade, then we skip the filter to package all the hazy flavor in its prime—straight from the tanks and into the can. The clear choice is Hazy.What is a Hazy IPA?When you order a draft beer, your first impression is a visual one. A Hazy IPA, like the name implies, has a cloudy appearance, one you can’t see through like you might with other beer styles (think a light-bodied pilsner or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).But a Hazy IPA is far more than looks. Its foggy appearance hints at a fullness of flavor, which it delivers. The careful planning of malt and hops, along with less filtering before packaging, yields a beer with lower perceived bitterness than other IPAs and hop character that’s decidedly fruity — you’ll often hear “juicy” as a flavor descriptor, like a tasty bite of ripe citrus. With our Hazy Little Thing IPA, you might pick up notes of orange and pineapple. That’s all hops; we don’t brew Hazy Little Thing with any real fruit.While other craft beer styles might seem like an acquired taste — the assertive bitterness of a West Coast IPA, the richness of an Imperial Stout — the popularity of Hazy IPA suggests it’s a crowd pleaser. Not to say it’s superior by any means, but Hazy IPA is a welcoming style within craft beer.2. The #2 best-selling IPA overall in 20223.
