 | One of the newest beer styles appearing in the United States and Europe. Rye malt is even more difficult to filter than wheat so only a small portion is used (10-30%). These beers typically have a pumpernickel flavor. |
Rye beer refers to any beer in which rye (generally malted) is substituted for some portion of the barley malt.
One example of this is roggenbier which is a specialty beer produced with up to sixty percent rye malt. The style originated in Bavaria, in southern Germany and is brewed with the same type of yeast as a German hefeweizen resulting in a similar light, dry, spicy taste.
In the United States another style of rye beer is being developed by homebrewers and microbreweries. In some examples, the hop presence is pushed to the point where they resemble American India pale ales.[1] This style is often called a "Rye-P-A," a take-off of the abbreviation for an India Pale Ale, "IPA." |
