A good Rye IPA — or, “RyePA” — is a tricky beast to catch! 

Rye’s earthy spice notes add complexity and deepen the hops’ fruit and pine flavors. 

But, rye is notoriously challenging to brew with. Its high beta glucan (a form of fiber) levels call for considerably more time and precision spent on mash filtration. 

Fortunately, Life’s A Trip And Then You Rye comes from truly dedicated hands! 

Mikerphone Brewing has only picked up momentum since The Chicago Tribune named them the “Hottest Thing in Chicago Beer” in 2017. Just last year, Craft Beer & Brewing hailed Mikerphone as 2019’s Breakout Brewer, specifically calling out the brewers’ attention to detail and mastery of rarer beer styles. 

It gets better! Mikerphone teamed up with their buddies at Tripping Animals – a.k.a. HopCulture’s Hottest New Brewery in Florida – to brew today’s exquisite sipper!

The result is a tastily complex Rye IPA, brimming with zingy citrus and berry flavors from a trifecta of Columbus, Citra, and Strata Hops. It’s punctuated throughout with subtle notes of coriander and caraway spice, finishing dry with a final whisper of pine. 

It should go without saying that there’s no time to waste in stocking up on this one. Again, a good RyePA doesn’t come ‘round often.
