Roggen “German Rye Beer”

If you have never tried a German-style rye beer, you are missing out! It is much the same as a dunkelweizen, except the rye is utilized instead of wheat. The result is a full-bodied ale with interesting spicy character from the rye.

This recipe won Stacy Myers of Fort Worth, Texas a gold medal at the National Homebrew Competition in 2010. Rye-style beers can seem a bit daunting for homebrewers, but are well worth the effort.
