aRPA is Whirly Bird’s take on a Rye Pale Ale and it certainly holds true to the anti-Reinheitsgebot school of thought. There’s more to beer than water, barley, and hops right? After we finally dusted off the brewing equipment, out aRPA came. First taste leaves the judges happy once again.

15 SRM, 66 IBU, 4.6 ABV. aRPA has the rye bite we’re looking for and the 5 types of hops (Magnum, Chinook, Columbus, Amarillo, and Citra) give the beer a complex, delightfully hoppy aroma and taste.
