Roggenbier

[Jeremy Dunn]

Can anyone recommend a commercial example of this style and where I could find it locally?
I've had beers with rye in them but I don't believe any of them had close to 50%

Thanks!

Hefeweizen is the only thing I could find that was close. Basically it's Rye malt with a Weizen yeast used.

I've never had any myself but here are some examples, you might look around at Liquor Locker.
A traditional German style rye beer that typically contains very large portions of rye. Expect a very pronounced spiciness and sour-like rye character, malty flavor, and a clean hop character. Often unfiltered and bottle-conditioned, Roggenbiers tend to be rather turbid and foamy.
