The Bruery is based out of Placentia but has quite a large distributorship as well as quite a following it seems. This was my first taste of what is supposed to be a traditional rye beer. I LOVE pastrami on rye with some good sauerkraut. Mmmmm, sauerkraut beer...I mean mmmmm, rye beer. I was really looking forward to that earthy, musky, rye flavor coming through on this beer but unfortunately I didn't get it. This poured a nice dark brown and had a large head that dissipated quickly, all in all a good looking pour. Slightly hazy the beer definitely had a yeasty, malty smell. There was a slight hint of the rye on the back end but the most part this tasted a bit like a porter with a little less body and a little more carbonation. Hints of coffee, roast, and toast. Good beer, just not what I expected.
