One of the things I love about brewing my own beer is that once I got the basic techniques down I was able to brew styles that appeal to me but aren’t readily available at the liquor store (or even a really good beer store). There are dozens of IPA’s out there that are as good or better than any IPA I can brew, so it doesn’t feel like a good investment of time and effort to brew one of those. Harder to find are the British best bitters, the Belgian patersbiers, the Finnish sahtis. Its how I ended up competing with a style called roggenbier, a German rye ale. I couldn’t find a single commercial example of roggenbier in America, but when I brewed my first batch of it I fell in love with the style. I entered it in competition to see if I was getting it right, and the rest is history trivia.
