I've never brewed it, but it's pretty much the most ballyhooed homebrew recipe in all of internetdom so I'm sure it's pretty damn good and Denny is an awesome brewer by all accounts. I've never heard anything bad about that beer from people who have brewed it.

Sounds good.

There certainly seems to be a high correlation between rye beers and columbus hops. I wonder if that's because it's such a grfeat combination or if it's just a "fad" bug that people have in their ears. (I brewed an all-columbus red rye yesterday, in the interest of full disclosure.)

Yes, Denny's Rye has become legend. This is one good tasting brew for sure. Simple and straight forward, and tasty. For anyone who wants to try a rye recipe, and really enjoy it, try it.

A couple things to note, which Denny, in my opinion, was right on when he created it. Columbus and rye go hand in hand. There is no better hop to help accent rye beers than Columbus. (Amarillo is another) Also, Wyeast's 1272 American Ale II is amazing with rye. It brings out such a wonderfull taste.

Excellent recipe!

I have brewed it twice and it is my first intro into using rye malt. It is very good. I have not used the CL 50 yeast but went with the Wyeast substitute.

Now I wish I had used the Columbus I have on hand for the rye PA I brewed last weekend instead of Chinook/Cascade (what can I say, I'm a sucker for the classics)! However, at the end of the mash and 3 pints into the process I decided to stir a couple ounces of Columbus into the mash to assist in running off, so maybe I can pretend like I'm really smart.

Columbus hops must be the best smelling hop in the world. Made an IPA with all Columbus and it's awesome! Wish I could get some ryzomes.

I am planning on going all grain this spring and Denny's Rye IPA is going to be my first run!

Well I bought all the ingredients for this today and will brew tomorrow. LHBS did not have the Wyeast American Ale II so I opted for US-56, I think this will be a great substitution. I also had to go with Columbus hop pellets instead of leaf but that should'nt matter. After all the hype about this recipe I am anxious to brew and drink this.
