Rye IPAs

Agreed. Reuben's Imperial Rye IPA and the Roasted Rye are two of the best rye beers I've ever had.

 

You should be able to find Arcadia's Sky High Rye in IL. It's a tasty one, and I think the BA rating is understated.

Oskar Blues GUBNA - The grist is in fact 15% Rye Malt.

 

I'm not a particularly huge fan of the style, but I was very impressed with StoneFace's India Red Rye Ale in case you find yourself in New Hampshire. I actually liked it better than their straight IPA, which was not at all how I was expecting things to go.

 

Hop. Rod. Rye. Bear. Republic. Big, ballsy rye spice comingled with brown sugar sweet malt, piney hops, and maybe even a dash of cocoa. Long been the king for me. Though, as @surfcaster said, One Claw, albeit in a way different direction, is awful tasty too -- softer, really nicely balanced peppy rye spice along with doughy, sweetish malt and a nice citrus hop complement. I assume the BR is available in your neck of the woods, while the One Claw ain't, but both are worth tracking down.

 

This is my choice too. We have a few Westbrook beers here but I haven't seen One Claw, will be on the look out when in the southeast. But Hop Rod Rye is the best I've had.

 

I had a couple of Bell's Smitten Rye Pale Ales the other night and I thought it was a really good beer... plenty hoppy enough to be an IPA even though it's not labeled as such.

 

Terrapin Rye is a good one that's a bit more mellow, highly quaffable that sadly may not be available in Ill. I'm waiting for Terrapin to bring the goods up north & join the trail Sweetwater recently opened up this way...Always been more into Terrapin than Sweetwater myself...
Jackie O's Hop Ryot is another good offering in can form.

 

I don't see anything here I'd disagree with, and the only "rye beers" - per BA's categorizations - that I didn't see mentioned were Rugbrød from The Bruery and Kentucky Ryed Chiquen from Against the Grain (had feathers glued to the neck of the bottle ), and although I don't think they were IPAs, if you like rye ale, they were certainly that

 

Timber Beast by Lazy Magnolia.

Not just a favorite Rye IPA, but one of my favorites - period.

 

Another vote heralding the tasty One Claw from Westbrook!

 

New Holland Rye Hatter and SN Ruthless Rye are my favorites

 

I Dont know if you get otter creek but there kind rye ipa is really good

 

Alpine Beer Co.'s Nelson IPA. Best rye IPA I've had the pleasure of tasting!

 

Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye (one of the originals and STILL sets the bar for the style)
Otter Creek Kind Ryed
Founders Red's Rye

 

The one the only Timberbeast by lazy magnolia one of my favorite beers period.

 

Not quite an IPA but it should be. I had Cathedral's Repent Rye recently & though it's listed as a barleywine, the combo of hops & rye blew my mind. An absolutely fantastic beer.

 

I think Rye IPA's are my favorite style. If you ever run across Warped Wing Flyin' Rye, give that a try. It's from a brewery in Dayton, OH. One of my favorites.

 

Otter Creek Kind Ryed

 

I'll second Jackie O's Hop Ryot for a fantastic RyePA. For a great Rye Ale, I'd say give Flying Monkeys El Toro Bravo 2.0 - The Matador a shot http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10796/125546/ It's a rye ale aged on spanish cedar.
