Rye beer is a beer in which rye is substituted for some portion of the malted barley.

Roggenbier is a beer produced with up to 60% rye malt. The style originated in Bavaria, southern Germany, and is brewed with the same type of yeast as a German Hefeweizen, resulting in a similar light, dry, spicy taste.

In the United States, rye beer is produced by homebrewers and microbreweries. In some examples, the hops presence is pushed to the point where they resemble American India pale ales (IPAs).[1] This style is often called a Rye IPA, or "Rye-P-A".

Finnish sahti is produced by brewing rye with juniper berries and baker's yeast

The traditional Slavic kvass is made using rye bread that has been steeped and fermented.[2]
