Things were just starting to get a little serious when I planned this brew day. We were still going about our day relatively normal. That all changed by the time I drank the first pint. I hope things are moving in a better direction when I drink the last. This is a take on the rye heavy IPA I have brewed several times. I made some tweaks mainly to the hops to brew with ingredients that I had on hand.
