| Amberjaque Rye Ale Amberjaque, pronounced “Amber Jack," is one of the few commercially available Rye Ales. One of the principal components in the grain bill of the beer is malted rye which provides a unique and very pleasant nuttiness to the finished product setting it apart from other amber beers. The moderate hopping and carbonation accentuate the malt character without stealing the show. |
| Amberjaque won a bronze medal at the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Rye Beer Category |
The “Amber” product accounts for 50% of sales for most
microbreweries because the typical first-time microbrew customer
wants to try something a little out of the ordinary without going to the
far ends of the spectrum. Ambers are perceived as a safe choice and a
sure bet for a good beer experience. Amberjaque is designed to provide
this great experience for new microbrew fans and long-time beer
connoisseurs alike. The flavors are not so overpowering as to
intimidate the uninitiated, yet they are complex enough to keep people
coming back for more.
The Story Behind Amberjaque
During Mark and Leslie’s home-brew days, a brewing buddy of theirs
received a bag of rye from a relative living in the Midwest. Before his
wife had a chance to convert this lovely grain into high-fiber bread, he
took a few pounds for an experiment. He malted the rye in his kitchen
and carefully dried it in his convection oven, then presented the rock-
hard nuggets to Mark and Leslie. Although skeptical, Leslie designed a
5-gallon recipe to use the home-malted rye. The resulting beer was a
big hit among friends, and after about a dozen more test recipes the
final formulation took shape.
Amberjaque will appeal to most people who consider themselves
microbrew fans or beer connoisseurs. Some of our customers note that
Amberjaque is similar in flavor to Sam Adam’s, Bass or Harp. The
Amberjaque tap handle is a red pub-style handle with a magnolia finial.
A shield on the tap handle contains a gold sticker with the name and
pirate-ship logo in black.

| Pairing Amberjaque with Food Amberjaque goes very well with beef dishes, especially hamburgers and BBQ. It’s great with hot & spicy foods (shrimp and crawfish boils) as the flavor is substantial enough to stand out even over cayenne. In the kitchen use Amberjaque in marinades for chicken and steak. |
