About

Big Little Thing is an Imperial IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, the American craft beer pioneer established in Chico in 1979. This is an ambitious, full-bodied IPA at 9% ABV with a clear focus on tropical and citrus hop character. The brewery balances assertive hop bitterness with a silky malt foundation and restrained sweetness, delivering a beer that remains remarkably drinkable despite its strength. The palate leads with citrus and tropical notes—tangerine and mango—followed by light malt sweetness. The finish is clean and dry, without lingering alcohol warmth. This is an Imperial IPA for those who appreciate bold hop expression without compromise.
