Did SN change their Pale Ale recipe?

I know for a FACT that this used to say Magnum and Perle....

And doing a clone of it (with info off the above link) is the only reason I would have ever bought perle hops...

I am not sure - I always thought it was all cascade. But I very well could be wrong. I have not made my clone in a while but i am pretty sure that is all cascade too. Not near my notes. Be interesting to see what others know for sure!

Yes, it did used to say Magnum/Perle for bittering....

But it's also always said:

Brewing is as much art as science, and all beer specifications and raw materials are subject to change at our brewers' creative discretion.

Cool.

There were a pair of topics over in the AHA forums a couple of months ago that talked about SNPA clone recipes:

* https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=2839.15
* https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=31455.0

Also, if you can find a copy of "Microbrewed Adventures", it has a SNPA clone recipe titled "1982 Original Sierra Nevada Pale Ale". 2-Row+C10; Cluster, Cascade, and Tettnanger hops.

I just checked archive.org and picked a random date from 5 years ago, and it shows magnum and perle for bittering:
