I have a store down the road that is pretty good about imports so I'll have to look there and see if I can find it. Thanks for the suggestion Roger.

If you want a good rye beer, Turm&Taxis Roggen Bier is the only German brewed Rye beer, and it is excellent. They just started brewing it again, sometime in the last 20 years (after about a 500 year hiatus) but it's still the ancient recipe. You may have to go Germany to get it though.

Boulder Beer does't distribute to NC but it does to MA. I can also buy it through an internet distributor. Certain individuals running this site have mentioned "Beer of the Month" clubs at some point, but maybe a one time internet purchase may be coming. Went and looked.

I'll see if I can find the Hazed and Infused. To the best of my knowledge, Rye beers are typically seasonal so keep a look out for one. Do you ever get Red Hook beers out there? As for your constant returning, you simply enjoy the pure and unadulterated wisdom that I pass on. Or you hate yourself, I'm not sure which :-) I can be reached via email through the site: remy@bostongeek.com. I’ll see if I can find the Hazed and Infused.

I can honestly say I've never had a rye beer before, and I was just reading some recipes for homebrews and found a rye that looks really good, maybe I'll try making one. I just checked both my favorite beer places here in NE Ohio (places that carry many varieties of beers) for Terrapin and I can tell you that neither of them had any rye beer at all. Zilch, zippo. To make it worse, I was really looking forward to trying it since I've never had a rye before. Is it a seasonal thing? Maybe I should try back in a couple weeks? On an unrelated note, I wanted to email you but I can't find an email for you on this site (am I blind or is there no email link for you???). I really don't want to hijack this thread, but I just discovered a beer by Boulder Beer called Hazed & Infused that you really need to check out. It's a dry-hopped ale that is probably one of the best beers I've ever had. It's the kind of beer that you can drink when you're thirsty and it quenches your thirst, yet it is a hop-head's dream. A different kind of hoppiness with the dry-hopping, but very tasty. Can't wait to see your review on this one (if you can find it)...

It did have a noticeable rye flavor, in addition to the oat, wheat etc. I thought it was good. A few years ago I had Pete’s Multigrain Ale (dunno if it’s still available).
