Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is The Bruery Rugbrød JuleBryg-Style
Dark Rye Ale.
From The Bruery website: “Meaning “rye
bread” in Danish, we took our
inspiration for this beer from the Danes’ staple dark, whole grain rye bread. Brewed with three types of rye malt, this robust brown ale showcases the earthy, spicy character of the grain,
complemented by bready, nutty barley malts and a hint of roast. Loosely based on the Scandinavian Christmas beer or “Julebryg” tradition, this beer is perfect for the colder weather of winter. And don’t worry about the name, we can’t pronounce it either!”
