– Sierra Nevada Tap Takeover

Iconic California brewery Sierra Nevada shook things up in the beer world in the 80’s and paved the way for the beer industry as we now know it. These days, they’re continuing to create great beer and pushing boundaries as they explore sustainability in their business. It’s for this reason we’ve chosen them as one of the few international brewers we’re invited to IMBC and we’re overjoyed to invite them to take over our taps as part of IMBC Fringe. Including three vintaged of their fantastic Bigfoot barley wine, and (maybe more impressively) three incredibly rare in the UK beers, all versions of Sierra Nevadas iconic ‘Pale Ale’, and get this, they’re on bloody cask.

Check out this line up….

On keg

Hazy Little Thing IPA (6.7%) Juicy hops and silky malt meet in a Hazy Little Thing with fruit-forward flavor, modest bitterness, and a smooth finish. Aggressively dry-hopped and less filtered because the haze is where the flavor is.

Bigfoot barleywine (9.6^%) is a beast of a beer, packed with bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic brewed in the barleywine style—strong and robust with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for aging in cellars. Under the proper conditions, it can develop enticing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and savor the evolving flavors.

^{On Cask (all super rare in the uk)}

^{Pale Ale CASCADE (5.6%) It’s Sierra Nevadas iconic Pale Ale, made with it’s original hop, cascade. But On cask! Super rare in the UK, don’t miss the opportunity to taste this absolute legend of a beer with none of the carbonation.}

^{Pale Ale CASCADE (5.6%) Imagine a world, where instead of making their pale ale with Cascade, they made it with Chinook. I know, I know, It’s some parallel universe shit. Cascade is bursting with zesty grapefruit flavor and aroma from the high levels of myrcene oil. It lends a pleasant and balanced bitter. The bright citrus is backed by some soft floral and spice.}

^{Pale Ale CRYSTAL (5.6%) Woodsy, green, floral and fruity with herb and spice notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper. Yes! Yes! God Yes!}
