More About Sierra Nevada Atomic Torpedo

This imperial hop collision fuses West Coast and Juicy IPAs, unleashing atomic flavours of lush fruit, citrus, and sticky pine. First released as a DIPA, Atomic Torpedo has been kicked up from 8.2% to 9.2% ABV for bigger and bolder Imperial IPA intensity. Just like the original Torpedo IPA, this hop giant starts 2023 with brand new artwork. Brace your taste buds: Damn the Torpedoes, Full Hops Ahead! With an ABV of 9.2% and a format of 568ml cans, it has a beginning gravity of 18.0 ̊ Plato and an ending gravity of 2.6 ̊ Plato, along with 50 IBU. This pale golden brew uses Magnum for bittering, Mosaic for finishing, and Mosaic and Centennial for dry hopping, with Torpedo hops being Cascade and Centennial. It features two-row pale and honey malts, and ale yeast.

Meet the Producer, Sierra Nevada

Sierra Nevada

Style: Brewery

If American craft beer has a Mount Rushmore, Sierra Nevada is standing on it holding a pint of Pale Ale.

Founded in Chico, California in 1980 by Ken Grossman and Paul Camusi, the brewery arrived at a time when American beer was largely dominated by light lager and very little else. The original brewhouse was built using salvaged dairy equipment, second-hand parts and a level of determination that now sounds slightly ridiculous in hindsight. Somehow it worked.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale became one of the defining beers of modern American brewing. Packed with Cascade hops, citrus, pine and proper bitterness, it helped introduce an entire generation of drinkers to the idea that beer could actually taste of something. Decades later it still holds up remarkably well, which is not always true of influential beers.

The brewery expanded into IPAs, lagers, barrel-aged releases and seasonal beers like Celebration, which has achieved near-religious status among hop enthusiasts every winter. Despite the growth, Sierra Nevada largely avoided losing the sense of independence and quality control that made it important in the first place.

A huge amount of modern craft beer traces back to Sierra Nevada in one way or another. Not through marketing slogans or trend-chasing, but because they helped build the foundations everyone else ended up standing on.
