Kicking tonight off with a 22 oz bomber.
That is all.

How does it compare with Denny Conn's RYE IPA? I just made a scaled down version of that. More like an APA....

I've never had Denny's, but if it compares with an APA, it doesn't compare with Hop Rod. Hop Rod is an over-the-top imperial-type brew with a ton of in-your-face hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma.

Yes, it rocks. I brought one back from California. Hmm Good.

Last weekend I had the Crazy Ivan. It is part Racer 5 wort, part Hop Rod Rye wort, and fermented with a belgian yeast. Holy crap was it good.

A lot of bigger beers taste too sweet to me lately, but the Hop Rod is somehow magically perfect. Enjoy!

I've made DC's RIPA and have had plenty of Hop Rod. Slightly different hop profiles (Tomahawk & Centennial per byo vs Mt. Hood, Columbus & Cascades) but very similar brews in many respects.
I love it too....hard to find sometimes though!

Hard to find, yes. I know of one sorta local (San Antonio) supplier.

I had one the other night. It was most excellent. I've also made the Denny Conn Rye and they are obviously not the same, but pretty close. My girlfriend actually commented on that in her tasting notes.
Sound good.

They have it on tap at the Fathers Office on my block all the time.
It's my favorite IPA there, perhaps even more than Pliny.

I have had this beer several times and it is a great re hop monster, I even did Jamil's clone of it too. Yes a very very good beer.

Kansas finally is opened up for distribution for Bear Republic brews...which is nice since I loved having it when I lived in Seattle.

Hop Rod Rye was my first experience with rye. It's an amazing beer and opened my eyes to the character that this grain can add to a recipe.

I picked up two 22oz bottles last week and they were darn good. Definitely a beer worth checking out. Bear Republic makes several very good beers.
Agreed with the Hop Rod awesomeness. Bear Republic is tha poo.
I got one at Spec's in Austin....
Real Ale Full Moon Pale Rye is another great rye beer. I like to call it Hop Rod Lite (at 5.7%
).

Just tried a 22oz last night, got it at Lukas Liquor in K.C. - MAN, what a beer selection they have!
It was quite delicious. Awfully hoppy, which can be hit-or-miss for me, but very tasty. Very comparable to Shmaltz's He'Brew Bittersweet Lenny. Very nice stuff.
