Working Class Rye

A very old beer style that was very popular before Reinheitsgebot dictated that beer was only to be brewed with barley. Rye is a good cold-weather crop and rye beer was especially popular with the working class of Northern Germany and Europe. We make our rye beer using more than 50% rye in the grain bill. It has a spicy rye aroma with notes of cloves. Has a moderately creamy mouthfeel and the taste reminds us of pumpernickel bread. Finishes dry and spicy. Pairs well with an honest day’s work. Show Less
