Today: Sierra Nevada Sidecar launch at The Hungry Monk

By Jess Harter Wednesday, January 4, 2017

The Hungry Monk in Chandler will help Sierra Nevada Brewing launch its first new beer of the year, Sidecar Orange Pale Ale, at 5 p.m. today.

Sidecar (5.3% ABV) is a fruity twist on the California brewery’s flagship Pale Ale.

Like most established craft breweries, 36-year-old Sierra Nevada, the nation’s third-largest, is struggling to grow sales in an ever-crowded market.

In response, Sierra Nevada is introducing two new year-round beers in early 2017: Sidecar and Tropical Torpedo. The latter is a citrus-y spinoff of its popular Torpedo Extra IPA.

The Hungry Monk will be selling pints of Sidecar for $3 tonight. A brewery rep will be on hand to discuss the beer.

If the beer’s name sounds familiar, it may be because the brewery also used it for an amber ale a few years ago.
