My hometown brewery does a really killer RyePA too - Monocacy Riot Rye

 

Ruthless Rye, Hop Rod Rye and Road Warrior (although this is actually an IIPA) are probably my favorites. Really do love the rye take on things.

 

Another one that just crossed my mind (especially if you're open to the CDA side of rye) is Grainstorm from Boulevard. It isn't going to make you want to leave your wife or anything, but it was certainly enjoyable and would probably be easier to get your hands on than some of the other stuff listed (my own above suggestion included)

There are a lot of other good suggestions in here, though. Explore them all!! (Just not in the same night, please!)

 

Citra Rye by Joseph James is pretty awesome. Went to a local Whole Foods when I went to Las Vegas for vacation last year, and was pleasantly surprised. Made a couple runs back over the course of the week!

 

I've really gotten into Ryes the past year or so. Two of my favorites are:

Great Divide Showdown
Green Flash Road Warrior

Southern Tier 2xRye is also pretty tasty.

 

Alpine Nelson
Hess Habitus
Belching Beaver Rabid Bite

 

Does Alpine Nelson count? Alpine Nelson.

 

I am a big fan of rye beers in general so rye IPAs are right up my alley

 

Summit Frost Line Rye is a nice winter seasonal if you get distribution in your area.

 

Ithaca has a rye called rustic harvest that i thought was darn good. It replaced double zilla in their box of hops.

 

This. Even though it's technically a pale it's pretty damn hop forward. Also one of my personal all time favorites

 

Terrapin Red Rye Mosaic IPA

 

2x Rye- Southern Tier is waaaaay good, and I love rye beer. The peppery snap to balance the hops.

Midnight Sun Moscow Rye RIS
Rye on Rye- super huge flavor, I age it at least a year before drinking

surprisingly, I don't prefer rye whiskey barrel aged beer. Bourbon seems better
