Rye was a traditional brewing grain for many eastern European breweries, and grew in popularity among American craft brewers near the end of the 20th century. [2] [3] Although it is popular, the history of the Rye IPA is indeed unclear, and no single brewery can be definitively credited with its creation. [4]
Within the American craft beer market, IPAs are one of the most popular categories. [5] Within that category, rye IPAs are growing in popularity because of the different taste profiles they bring. They allow breweries that are known for their IPAs to increase the variety of styles they brew. The increase in popularity of rye beers was paralleled by an increase in the popularity of rye whiskey.

Rye is a grain used in addition to the other malted grain, typically barley, in the ingredients during the mashing process. Rye can be difficult to brew with because of its high beta-glucan content. This makes the filtration of the wort more difficult than usual. Rye is commonly added to beer for its complex, crisp, distinctive, spicy flavor and sometimes adds a reddish color to the beer. [2]
Pale ale is a golden to amber coloured beer style brewed with pale malt. The term first appeared in England around 1703 for beers made from malts dried with high-carbon coke, which resulted in a lighter colour than other beers popular at that time.

In brewing, adjuncts are unmalted grains or grain products used in brewing beer which supplement the main mash ingredient.

Both solid and liquid adjuncts are commonly used.

Mash ingredients, mash bill, mashbill, or grain bill are the materials that brewers use to produce the wort that they then ferment into alcohol. Mashing is the act of creating and extracting fermentable and non-fermentable sugars and flavor components from grain by steeping it in hot water, and then letting it rest at specific temperature ranges to activate naturally occurring enzymes in the grain that convert starches to sugars. The sugars separate from the mash ingredients, and then yeast in the brewing process converts them to alcohol and other fermentation products.
