COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION There is a small town on the coast of New Jersey close to where I live now and where I spent most of my summers growing up. Just after sunset the sky over the bay lights up with fantastic orange and red hues. It reminds me of the color of this beer—so we named our American-style Rye Pale Ale, Afterglow. It was the second beer we brewed and will be one of our year round beers. The base malt for this beer is American two-row combined with light Munich malt from Germany. We use medium crystal malt from England to add some color and sweetness and a small amount of malted rye to add some subtle spiciness. It’s bittered with Columbus hops, flavored with German Hallertau and we used Cascade and Centennial hops in the whirlpool and for dry hopping. As with all of our American-style ales we use a dry English yeast. An English yeast for American-style beers may seem unusual but we think this specific strain ferments clean enough to accentuate the hop flavors and aromas but leaves behind just a enough malt character to add some balance.
