The beer celebrates an epic battle fought by Commodore Perry and his men on Lake Erie during the war of 1812. This IPA actually presents a nice malt nose, which doesn't necessarily accompany all IPAs, and that helps this beer along its journey to becoming an incredible beer. Wonderfully complex and balanced, yet still ending with a traditional IPA bitter, this beer scores quite high with both of us.

The Hop Rod Rye, a rye-infused beer from Bear Republic from Healdsburg, CA - the home of other big hitter beers - is made with 20% rye grain and is very hoppy. Rye beers have a very long history, and was an important ingredient in beer up until the 5th century AD. Also called a Roggenbier, Rye Ales are still new to the American public, but something worth some serious consideration. tag:odeo.com,2009-09-16,25134266 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:41:27 -0700 no Two Guys On Beer dave, Beer, Movies and Television, David, republic, two, guys, on, hop, philadelphia, bear, johnny, Rod, ale, hops, rye, Lager, IPA, johnnynines, martorana, bilotta, tgob http://www.odeo.com/episodes/25088214-Episode-100-Awesome-party-with-Flying-Dog-s-Dogtoberfest We filmed the 100th episode live during the TGOB 100th episode/IndyHall 2 year anniversary party!

We talk about everything from the early days of Sam Adams to how brewing a great beer is his ultimate goal - and how Sam Adams Boston Lager is his favorite beer. Jim talks to us about his French knighthood in the Order of the Hops, how research continues to make his beer better, and the struggle that Sam Adams faces - even though they are the largest American-owned brewery in the world. We couldn't be more excited to bring you this extended interview with Jim Koch, and couldn't have done it without the support of the Boston Beer Company, Philly Beer Week and Jennie Hatton, and of course the man himself, Jim Koch.
