The 1980 beer that started the American craft revolution. Still $9 a six-pack.
The beer that started it all. Ken Grossman brewed the first batch in 1980 in Chico, California, using Cascade hops — and created the template for American pale ale. Before Sierra Nevada, American beer meant Budweiser. After it, an entire industry emerged. It's still in production, still $9 a six-pack, and still one of the best pale ales you can buy. Every craft brewery in America is a descendant of this beer.
