Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Bigfoot Ale

The Legend of American Craft Beer

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale is one of the most celebrated and collected beers in American craft brewing history — a massive, complex barleywine that has been released every winter since 1983. Rich, warming, and built to age, Bigfoot is the beer that serious craft beer enthusiasts cellar for years, watching it evolve and deepen with time.

Barleywine Complexity

• 🍬 Rich caramel and dark toffee — warming and indulgent
• 🍫 Dark fruit and a hint of dried cherry
• 🌶️ Bold hop bitterness — piney, resinous, and assertive
• 🍪 Roasted malt and a hint of dark chocolate
• 🔥 A long, warming finish that evolves beautifully with age

Cellar It. Or Drink It Now.

Bigfoot is magnificent fresh — bold, hoppy, and intensely flavored. But it's even more extraordinary after a year or two in the cellar, when the hops mellow and the malt complexity deepens. A beer worth collecting.
