1.Supply chain issues
2. Incredible drop off in sales due to local IPAs dominating the market

I say this as someone who loved the APA.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the benchmark by which I judge all other beers. It's amazingly perfect.

SNPA was my first foray away from big brand lagers.

They are pushing their hazy ipa, which I don't care for, but has apparently become their #1 seller. So they are producing more of that than the SNPA.

I like their Torpedo IPA but you really don’t see much of it

My favorite west coast old school IPA. They just changed the packaging and it's pretty prevalent in the NOLA Metro area.

I'm a fan too. I always buy it when I see it relatively fresh.

Palate Wrecker by Green Flash and Ruination from Stone are both my all time favorites for west coast IPAs.

We have much better local west coast ipa's like Hoppenheimer and Succession Plan from Manhattan Project and Rev Green from Turning Point. But I think SNPA is a great west coast ipa. Torpedo is way too malty but maybe I haven't had it fresh. And thats a problem with SNPA, I can find it easy enough but its usually 4-5 months old.

The fresh ones are not malty. At least not to me.

Crazy all the downvotes I got for saying palate wrecker and ruination were some good IPAs.

No downvote from me. I used to drink those when they were on the shelf here. Strong and bitter hops though that isn't for everybody, which is why many don't like them.

I have 3 just for saying SNPA was my first foray away from big company lagers.
But then I considered the topic and the angst of the beer snobs.

I have a few beers that are very memorable due to taste or occasion/events when i had them. Fresh SNPA at the brewery in Asheville was one of those beers. So much grapefruit, which i love in a west coast. Once it hits bottles, it seems that it loses some of that grapefruit aroma.
