Sierra Nevada Brewing Releases Hazy Little Thing IPA & Hop Bullet Double IPA

Sierra Nevada Brewing begins the New Year with two new beer releases – Hazy Little Thing IPA and Hop Bullet Double IPA.

Hazy Little Thing IPA is Sierra Nevada’s take on the trendy unfiltered Hazy IPA. This new year-round brew is a hop forward, unfiltered IPA that is much more easy drinking than many other Hazy IPAs out there. Is it as juicy as some New England Style IPAs? No. But its one approachable Hazy IPA that doesn’t leave any lingering grittiness that many in this style contain. Plus it’s packaged in convenient 12-ounce cans for taking on your next adventure.

Hop Bullet Double IPA is brewed with a double-barreled blast of Magnum hops and lupulin dust.
