I had the good fortune to sample and serve Live Oak’s summer seasonal a couple of weeks ago during MisoHungry’s Cupcake Smackdown. Roggenbier literally translates as rye beer. I will not pretend to even be slightly knowledgeable of brewing practices and techniques but the description I was using all day that every one seemed to agree with is, “Imagine an amber and a hefeweizen fell and love and had a beautiful baby. Now chill the baby and drink it all summer long!” Roggenbier is available only on tap at bars around Austin that I know of. I have seen it at Whip In and the Draught House. I would highly recommend getting a growler full to take home!
