Smoke Gets In Your Rye

This brew is a fusion of several different beer styles. It combines fresh English hops (Challenger and Fuggles varieties), American and British malted rye, and beechwood smoked barley malt imported from Bamberg, Germany. The result is interesting and flavorful, and quite drinkable. Served unfiltered, S.G.I.Y.R. is a deep, hazy gold in color- rye, like wheat, is a husk-less grain which leaves a slight haze suspended in the finished beer. A fresh, fruity malt and hop aroma first greets the nose, flavors of tart malt merge into a smooth but rich smokiness, and a hoppy, I.P.A.-like finish balances it all out. “S.G.I.Y.R.” is excellent on its own, but we also recommend pairing it with meats and veggies from our own grille and smoker.  Enjoy!

Cheers,
Will Meyers and Lauren Clark

Testimonials

  • Fantastic beer! Great beer events, parties, and dinners! Creative, friendly, and warm. Delicious food! I am also impressed they make an effort to serve grain-fed beef and local ingredients. Plus, they send their grains to local farms I believe. So cool.

  • CBC, tucked away in Kendall Sq. is a local gem…My friend had heard great things about CBC, I had heard pretty much nothing - so came in with an open mind…I'm a sucker for unique craft beers so this place is right up my alley. The bartender, Travis, was awesome. He was ridiculously knowledgeable about all the beers on tap, and happily dealt with us when we asked to try a bunch of them.

  • Friendly staff, tasty food and good beers. Sold.

  • As a budding beer snob, their beers are to die for. I like the dark ones, and everything I've ever had here has left me quite pleased. You really can't go wrong, no matter what you order.
