Cherry and Rye
Beachwood Brewing - Huntington Beach

This blend is a throwback as well as a example of the evolution of our blending program at Beachwood Blendery. A blend of 12-16 month old rye base beer was put on 2.25lbs/gallon tart cherries giving this beer a deep red color with orange highlights in the curves of the glass. The nose is equal parts house funk, cherries, and earthy rye. The first sip is a rush of cherries carried across the tongue by the semi full body provided by the rye malt and balanced by mild acidity. The finish is slightly dry with notes of leather, oak, cherries and classic funk.
