I have tried a few beers from Bear Republic and I have
enjoyed them. I decided to try Hop Rod
Rye (8% ABV and 80 IBU) is a Rye beer that is available in 22 oz. bombers. Bear
Republic is based in Healdsburg, CA.

– BeerAdvocate
Appearance – Pours a deep amber with a two-finger
head.
Aroma – Piney / resin with some caramel sweetness and
spicy.
Taste – One taste spice and sweetness, then
breadiness, then hop bitterness – but not too much bitterness. It is very
well-balanced.
Overall – B+ - This is one of the best Rye beer I
have tried.
Website description – “A high gravity IPA brewed with
18% rye malt. Hop Rod Rye has a floral
hop aroma and subtle caramel notes with a slightly earthy and spicy rye
character.”
