Charkoota Rye is a Smoked Rye Dopplebock. An homage to all things Pig, including Porkapalooza and the age-old tradition of Charcuterie, Charkoota Rye’s malty backbone is derived from a blend of rye and four other malts, including malted barley smoked over cherry wood.
Its smoke-forward body is balanced with tones of deep mollasses and caramel, with a crisp, clean lager finish.
Delightful by itself, Charkoota is best served with its succulent counterpart, Pork. www.SaveGasEatPork.com

I had a chance to buy this when i was back in MI last Sept, and have had it stored since down here in NC. This past week was the release of Sexual Chocolate by Foothills Brewery, where you’ll find 300-400 beer geeks in line, waiting for this 22oz limited release starting in the wee hours (2-4am). It was like tailgaiting, only with the best beers being represented; a fantastic excuse to bring your best, your saved, and your coveted and drink and share. This was a great time to bring out the Charkoota!! Smokey, luciousness. This was a special treat shared by many. Thanks New Holland…send more to Boone, NC.
I bought some of this when visiting family in Michigan. I brought it back to Alabama and shared it with some people in my beer club. I was very impressed with the smokiness of this beer. It would pair nicely with pork.
Norm, thanks for the kind words! We are glad you liked it! We find that it does pair very nicely with pork. Cheers!
