Rye ale with smoked malt, brown sugar, black pepper, coriander seed, red pepper and mustard seed. Yes! This beer is inspired by the pastrami on rye sandwich at Manny's. A little backstory... We first brewed this beer, Pastrami on Rye, in 2011. It was released in 2012. Now, after many years, this beer is coming out of retirement in the best way possible - as an official collaboration with Chicago legends, Manny's! Unlike other versions of this beer, this time, we used their spice ratio for their pastrami in our beer! This beer drinks like a complex brown ale, with soft smokey notes, and subtle spice. You might be surprised - it's very drinkable.
