Torque and Surly breweries team up to make Callahan Rye IPA
T
oday, I’m going to be talking about three of my favorite things. Beer, Torque and Surly. Tey got together and brewed a sweet Rye IPA. Ultimate
frisbee themed, it is called Callahan. Named after Henry Callahan, one of the early proponents of the sport who was murdered during a robbery in 1982. He is com- memorated via the Callahan Award which is given to the best male and female college Ultimate players each year, the Callahan Rules of Ulti- mate, and a rare move in the game called a Callahan. But, let’s talk about the

beer. I did receive this beer for
free to review. I also bought a bunch of it to drink. Callahan – Rye IPA
Torque has become a fun brewery here in Winnipeg.
From their start they’ve focused on producing a vari- ety of beer options and have always made sure to keep their taproom stocked with some new small batches for people to try out. I’m always excited to see what they’ve got on the menu and they do not disappoint. For those of you not familiar with Surly, I did an
in-depth write-up of them when they first announced their coming to Manitoba. Tis is big. Tey have a waiting list for expansion and have chosen to come to Manitoba. Tey’ve been actively sending more beers our way and have brought in some fun stuff over the past year. Tey brew good beer and I’m excited to see what they were able to do with Torque. IPAs or India Pale Ale, have a storied history. Te
first known use of the term comes from the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser in 1829. At this time, they were also referred to as a “pale ale as prepared for India”, “East India pale ale”, and “Ex- port India Pale Ale”. Tese types of IPAs were widely popular amongst the East India company and, while considered very hoppy, they were not much stronger than other beers brewed now. Hops are used as a pre- servative of sorts, to help keep the beer fresh. If you were preparing a beer for a long trip from England to India, you’d need to add a lot of hops. So, while the IPA if consumed in England before shipping would be quite hoppy, at the other end it likely would not. To- day, the tradition of hopping beers continues, but we don’t have as far to send them, and the goal is to make a hoppy beer. If you’re curious about IPAs check out Wikipedia, the BJCP Guidelines (Page 37) or IPA Beer. What makes this IPA different is that rather than
using standard malt bill that provides a solid malty backbone, it uses rye. Rye brings a lot of other char- acteristics to a beer. Te most prominent of these characteristics is some peppery notes. Rye’s main contribution to a beer is in its enhancement of the beer overall. Helping bring the different notes to a point and drawing them out. Te Rye in an IPA will help accentuate the hops and with enhance the finish. Let’s get to the beer.
ABV – 6.5% Appearance – Slightly hazy amber colour with a
white head. Smell – Get some of those peppery notes on the nose

along with caramel malt and some grassy hop aroma. Taste – Smooth front that brings some caramel
sweetness from the malt. Ten moving into some hoppy bitterness that is accentuated by some of the peppery notes from the rye. Mouth Feel – Good carbonation with a coarse
mouth feel and a nice lingering finish. Overall Toughts – Te rye notes accentuated the
hops to provide a nice lingering finishing that is bitter and a bit spicy. Te caramel malt sweetness works well with this. Overall a good Rye IPA that brings a nice balance between these two components. • • •
Do I like it? – Yes, I did enjoy this beer. I find that I
enjoy Rye IPAs quite a lot. I like the use of Rye in a beer. Tis is certainly something that you should check out. It’s worth a taste
