Pale Ale
Its unique piney and grapefruit aromas from the use of whole-cone American hops have fascinated beer drinkers for decades and made this beer a classic.
Draught-Style Pale Ale
The draught version of our flagship bottle-conditioned Pale Ale, Draught-style Pale Ale is slightly sweeter and lower in alcohol, making it a nice session beer.
Torpedo® Extra IPA
The first beer to feature our “Hop Torpedo”—a revolutionary dry-hopping device that controls how much hop aroma and what kind is imparted into beer without adding additional bitterness.
Kellerweis®
A hazy wheat ale—untamed, unfiltered and unafraid. With a full, fruity aroma and notes of spicy clove and banana bread, Kellerweis is truly a unique brew.
Porter
Brewed in the hop-forward American style and featuring a depth of malt flavor and complexity with roasted notes of black coffee and cocoa.
Stout
Big, rich, bold, black as night, and filled with the wild-eyed passion of which dreams are made.

Old Chico Brand™ Crystal Wheat
Light bodied, refreshing, and drinkable. This filtered beer is brewed with malted wheat and barley and perfectly balanced by unique Crystal hops.
High Sierra FestivALE
A beautifully balanced golden ale with high notes of bright and floral hops and a driving baseline of complex but drinkable malt flavor.
Summerfest®
Bright spicy and floral hop notes and a delicate lager-malt sweetness combine to make this crisp and clean beer remarkably refreshing and perfect for summertime.
Bigfoot® Barleywine-style Ale
Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops.
Ovila® Saison with Mandarin Oranges and Peppercorns
An homage to the monks’ noble work, this unique farmhouse ale is incredibly complex with notes of lemon, pepper, straw and herbs balanced by the tang of Mandarin oranges and a spicy kick of pepper.
Old Chico Session IPA
Vivid herbal and floral notes invite you in for a lengthy stay, which, given the brew’s modest ABV, is a proposition you just might gratefully accept. Cheers to Chico leisure.

No. 4’s Pale Ale
A strong swing of tropical fruit and citrus drives light-bodied No. 4 Pale Ale to the wall, and it crosses home with a crisp, dry finish.
Hoptimum®
Hops, hops, and more hops are the stars of this big, whole-cone Imperial IPA. Resinous “new-School” and exclusive hop varieties carry the bold and aromatic nose.
Brown Ale
This is a traditional English-style brown ale using a hop derived from the English Fuggle-Styrian Golding. It adds a nice spicy hop note that balances nicely with this medium-bodied, slightly sweet ale.
Double Dubbel
This Belgian-style Dubbel was aged for nearly two years in oak casks previously used to mature brandy. The flavors are incredibly complex with notes of burnt sugar, raisin, and black cherry.
Golden Valley Ale
Faint fruit on the nose steps aside for flavor that recalls fresh bread dough, and a steady sweetness ultimately bows out for a crisp, bitter finish.
Southern Hemisphere Harvest®
This Harvest ale features fresh hops from New Zealand – where fall occurs during our spring. These fresh whole cones are picked, dried, and shipped to the brewery within days of the harvest.

Knightro
A fully Nitrogenated beer designed as our take on the creamy dry stouts of Ireland with a decidedly Sierra Nevada twist. Knightro is black in color but surprisingly light in body with rich caramel and chocolate malty flavors.
