This recipe was taken from the show "Can You Brew It?" broadcast on The Brewing Network. Terrapin Rye Pale Ale is a beer brewed in Athens, GA and is definitely one of my go-to beers when I'm enjoying a pint at the local watering hole.

Comments

This beer came out really well. I'd say it's as close to the real thing as you can get. Please do keep in mind, though, that I used whole hops, so if you're using pellets, use about 10% less hops by weight.
