At Sierra Nevada Brewery they take hops pretty seriously, which is why they weren’t satisfied with the standard method of dry hopping for their first year-round IPA. They spent years tinkering, tasting, and tweaking ways to get the biggest and best hop flavors and aromas into their beer.
Their persistence has paid off. The obsession with harnessing huge hop flavor led to the development of what they call the hop torpedo, a revolutionary method of dry-hopping designed, built, and debuted here at the brewery. The torpedo is a sleek, stainless-steel piece of hardware that delivers more pure hop aroma than any method of dry-hopping ever seen. Like all their beers, Torpedo Extra IPA uses only the best whole-cone hops possible making this delicious ale worth the wait.
