Susquehanna – Southern Rye IPA Coming for Philly Beer Week

We brought you the first look at this new Rye IPA coming from Susquehanna Brewing back in April, and now the official release announcement from Susquehanna:

Coming soon Southern Rye IPA . A special draft only brew for Philly Beer Week!!Available soon in limited quantities!

Today brings a very atypical brew, commissioned exclusively for Philadelphia Beer Week and our scale-up from Pat O’Malley in Philadelphia… high gravity Rye IPA using (copious!) malted rye from Great Western Malting, Briess Carapils and Caramel 10 malts, Maris Otter and Canadian Metcalfe and Copeland malts. Besides some new malts for us, the hops are all being used for the first time here, Southern Cross, Simcoe and Steiner Experimental 0526. And it will be our first dry-hopped ale. Destined for draught only!

Trevor Fitzgerald, our sales colleague from Philadelphia, kindly came up to help us out for the day. The record I’m not looking to see but know it will come inevitably: this is going to be by far the longest runoff from lauter tun to kettle that we have experienced. I may not be raising a glass to Pat O’Malley when we finish up late tonight…
