Thanks for stopping by Melissa. I have seen a lot more of He’Brew on the shelves here in Toledo, OH. I’ll keep my eyes open for that Human Blockhead once it makes it to the bottle shops here.

Hey Nate!

I’m so pleased you dug the RIPA, it’s also one of my faves, the rye makes it so interesting, and I agree, spicy. Human Blockhead, one from our Coney Island line, also is brewed with a couple kind of rye malt, definitely adds to its overall big, malty character. Thanks again!

Thanks for weighing in, Dave.

I don’t have a considerable amount of experience with Rye IPA’s. I’ve only sampled a few, but love the peppery note alongside the hop.

I haven’t had this one in a while but I love Rye IPAs. Anything with Rye is ok with me =)

It’s a wonderful style of beer. Rye is not a common beer ingredient and it’s and IPA version, so it’s very unique, tasty, and spicy.

I wish that I would have had this to drink with some corned beef that I had yesterday. That would have been a nice pairing. I made up for it when I got home though.

As I mentioned on my blog I am glad you enjoyed this one and agree that it is a great big, bold beer. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. Thanks to Zak from Shmaltz for recommending it to me.
