As of writing this, this is my current favorite homebrew that I make.  I am sure that will change... in fact, I hope that will change because if it doesn't it means I am not pushing hard enough but right now, I can't get enough of this beer.  It's a Rye Pale Ale and since I am also a comic nerd I called it Ghost Ryder Pale Ale.  See what I did there with the Ryder spelling? I am so clever.  Anyway, enough about that, here is the recipe.
