Roggenbiers (Rye Beers) were declared illegal in 1516 by the Germanic Lords after a series of poor harvests. The Bavarian Purity Law outlawed the use of RYE for brewing beer so that it could be reserved for making bread. It has been 500 years since the passing of the Reinheitsgebot and we have resurrected this lost style to create a very refreshing, sessionable and smooth ale.
