Still the One

Pale Ale

Where beer got its craft and hops met stardom. Four decades later, Pale Ale is still the one.

The Details

No one was ready for Pale Ale in 1980, and no one can fathom a fridge without it today. Its bold hoppiness and smooth malt flavor shocked taste buds — right before sparking the American craft beer revolution. Pale Ale is still the one hopped to perfection, and still the one you’re proud to share.

Pale Ale put Cascade hops on the map, their intense aromas of citrus and pine finding balance with the subtle sweetness of caramelized malt.

“The iconic green label remains as strong a force as ever.”
