WHAT WE’RE DRINKING:
Brittany
Beer: Hop Hunter
Brewery: Sierra Nevada
Style: IPA
ABV: 6.2%
IBUs: 60
BeerAdvocate Score: 90
Brewery’s description: Hop Hunter IPA harnesses the complex flavors of just-picked hops through an all-new method of steam distilling wet hops before they even leave the fields. This revolutionary technique captures and intensifies the natural flavors, creating a unique and intensely aromatic beer. Our custom process gathers pure hop oil which, when combined with traditional whole-cone hops in the brew kettle, makes for an incredible IPA experience.
Justin
Beer: Torpedo
Brewery: Sierra Nevada
Style: Extra IPA
ABV: 7.2%
IBUs: 65
BeerAdvocate Score: 92
Brewery’s description: Sierra Nevada and hops go hand in hand. What began as a crazy idea scribbled in a pub eventually became our newest year-round hop bomb, Torpedo Extra IPA. The first beer to feature our “Hop Torpedo”—a revolutionary dry-hopping device that controls how much hop aroma is imparted into beer without adding additional bitterness. Torpedo Extra IPA is an aggressive yet balanced beer with massive hop aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit.
Christopher
Beer: Hoptimum (2017)
Brewery: Sierra Nevada
Style: Triple IPA
ABV: 9.6%
IBUs: 65
BeerAdvocate Score: 92
Brewery’s description: Our brewers selected the finest, most flavorful hops, pushed them beyond their limits and forged them into this all-new triple IPA. This reimagined Hoptimum is our hoppiest beer yet, providing a blend of tropical and citrus hop aroma that delivers a refined yet aggressive character.
