Rye IPA | Triticale Pale
By Eric Buist
One of my favorite styles of beer is a Rye IPA. With a hint of spice and a solid hop backbone, these beers offer flavors that aren’t found in the modern IPA marketplace. For years we weren’t able to produce a true Malted Rye due to its smaller size compared to barley, so creating fully SVM Rye IPA was not possible. The product we brought in to help us create these flavors is Triticale - the wheat/rye hybrid.
This recipe takes full advantage of the wheat traits in Triticale, while leaning into a pleasant rye character. Azacca and Strata add a lot of zesty fruit and dank herbs which play perfectly with the spice from the Malted Rye.
