| 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. |
