Sierra Nevada Brewing Expands its Little Hazy Series with Cool Little Thing
The Limited Hazy Series line extension from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. continues on with the debut of Cool Little Thing, a Cryo Fresh® Hazy IPA. This new Hazy IPA is currently rolling out across the U.S. in 6-packs of 12-ounce cans.
Cool Little Thing is brewed with cryogenically frozen fresh Mosaic® hops that provide a distinct rush of fresh hop notes, supported by flavorful Cryo® Crystal, Comet, and El Dorado® hops. The unique beer boasts tropical-inspired flavors and aromas like juicy fruit and bittersweet citrus, and a touch of earthiness that is well-balanced with a clean hoppy bitterness. It clocks in at 7.5% ABV, an approachable 32 IBU and pours a hazy golden color in the glass.
“What I love most about Cool Little Thing is the wave of refreshment from the intense tropical aromas and the nuanced complexity of hop flavors that come from cryogenically frozen fresh hops,” said Brian Grossman, Chief Brewer and second-generation brewery owner at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., in a statement. “Add to that the juicy, pillowy characteristics of a Hazy IPA and you have a crowd-pleaser that I think people will want to come back to time and again throughout the season.There’s something extra special about soaking in the sunshine while enjoying a cold, fresh-hop style beer.”
Cool Little Thing is the fifth and latest edition in the “Limited Hazy Series,” an innovation stream from Sierra Nevada that launched in January 2023 and is dedicated to exploring and innovating within the popular Hazy IPA beer style. The first edition was Juicy Little Thing, followed by the second edition, Tropical Little Thing, the third edition, Dank Little Thing, and the fourth edition, Cosmic Little Thing which will remain nationally available in 19.2-ounce single-serve cans in select retailers.
Hazy IPA fans can find Cool Little Thing on shelves through Fall 2024 when the next beer in the “Limited Hazy Series” by Sierra Nevada is set to be released. Cool Little Thing is available for a limited time nationally in 6-packs of 12-ounce cans at MSRP $12.99, while supplies last.
