Come Along for the Rye’d – Rye IPA

You are wondering, did I read that right? A hazy rye IPA? Correct! Most rye-forward IPAs are presented in a fairly clear format. We wanted to try sometime a lil’ different and give y’all one in a haze-centric format. Heck, “rye” not?Built on a mixed base of choice 2-row and pilsner malts from our pals at Riverbend Malting in NC, with a decent smack of one of their unique, terroir-driven malted ryes to boot. Some classic Centennial hops grace a small kettle addition, as well as a gob of them in the whirlpool too. Altus, Nugget CGX, Centennial CGX, and the new lovely HRC-002 join forces for a killer dry-hop drop.
Expect bright citrus, stone fruit, pineapple, and a wisp of floral notes to pair up with nuanced earthy spiced tones. Smooth, but with an assertive bite on the back end, this IPA is one-of-a-kind imbiber and a dang fun one for the overall line up on tap.
