Imperial RyePA is not an officially sanctioned beer style, so we got a kick out of tweaking this one. We started with a simple malt bill, with 25% rye for a little spice and a crisp finish. Simcoe highlights the hop profile, adding a nice earthy bitterness that really shines against the malt backdrop. Imperials are meant to be bigger beers, and Knob Hill follows suit with a 9% ABV, 70 IBUs, and plenty of tasty character.
