Pair O Dice Brewing needs help renaming Let It Rye’d

Clearwater’s Pair O Dice Brewing is in a conundrum. They love their Let It Rye’d ale, but someone else has claimed the copyright for it. So their decision has become one that will be chosen by $50,000- do they argue or do they invest the money in making the brewery run.

Here is the word directly from Pair O Dice Brewing:

In order to defend “Let it Rye’d” in our market, it would cost an estimated $50,000. And although we love this cleverly named brew, we’d rather spend the money on creating new beers, working on our canning line and paying our employees.

In the collaborative and the creative spirit of craft beer, Pair O Dice is turning lemons into lemoncello, and opening up the naming process to their creative fans.

How can you get in on the action?

Between now and August 16, 2015, we want you to create a new name for this beloved beer.

Here are the beer stats you’ll need to know:

An IPA brewed with rye. It showcases the dry and spicy characteristics of the rye and balances that with slightly sweet caramel malts and tropical and piney notes from the use of Mosaic hops. The aromas and flavors of each ingredient come together to create a balanced and satisfying medium bodied IPA.

Things to keep in mind:

Google a potential name before submitting it. Existing names will be automatically eliminated. Even phonetically similar names will be tossed. (Duh.)
We have a gambling theme to our brand and most of our beer names. Specifically a Craps theme. It’s not a deal-breaker if you don’t use the gambling theme in your name – just something to consider.
We’re edgy, but we’re not inappropriate. No pervs or potty-mouths. Suggestive names okay.

How to enter a name (choose one):

*Use THIS FORM and follow the very easy instructions.
*Tweet us @pairodicebrew with your name suggestion and hashtag #GetAPairName
*Email courtney@pairodicebrewing.com with the subject line: BEER NAME and the email body: the name of the beer. NOTHING MORE.
*Stop by our tap room for a pint and write down your suggestion. We have a collection box.

We’ll close the contest at the close of the brewery (7 p.m.) on Sunday, August 16.

Then what?

Our team at Pair O’ Dice will choose our top 5 favorites and post them on our social media profiles on Friday, August 21. The name that gets the most comments and likes across our different platforms will be the winner.* Final winner chosen on Monday, August 31.

We will announce the winner on Tuesday, September, 1 via our blog and social media profiles.

What winners get:

Clout among fellow beer nerds
The warm, fuzzy feeling associated with doing something cool
A Pair O’ Dice t-shirt, stickers, various swag items
The first pour of the beer you named

And that’s it!

We’re definitely sad to see Let It Rye’d retire, but we’re excited about a new name inspired by the people who love to drink it most: you all.

About Pair O Dice Brewing

Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co. was founded by husband and wife team Ken and Julia Rosenthal in October 2013. With a passion for craft beer, they set out to pay homage to their home state of Florida with Pair O’ Dice Brewing, a play on the word “paradise” which is what they called Florida when they were coming home to visit. They focus on fresh, aromatic, and flavorful hop forward ales inspired by the West coast. The first microbrewery in Clearwater, Florida, Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co. beer can be found in their taproom or at select retailers and restaurants throughout Tampa Bay.

At Pair O’ Dice Brewing we care about one thing … making damn good beer. Our mission is to brew the freshest and highest quality American craft beer around and we take great pride in what we do. No gimmicks, no fancy marketing tactics, just damn good beer. That’s how we roll. Get a Pair.

Pair O Dice Brewing to release the Hop Streak series

Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co. is releasing a new limited beer series focused
on hop forward ales and lagers. The Hop Streak series is designed to allow Floridians to enjoy hop forward beers as they were intended to be enjoyed: Bright, Aromatic, Balanced, and FRESH. Every month Pair O’ Dice Brewing will release into distribution a new beer in the series. The high frequency, single batch, hop forward beer series encourages distributors, retailers, and consumers to drink hoppy beers at their freshest.

“Ken and I really enjoy hop forward beers. We brew them at Pair O’ Dice because we want to brew them, not because we have to brew them. IPAs are getting a bad rap these days and we want to remind the craft beer consumers why these hop forward beers became one of the top selling beer styles in America’s craft beer culture. They can be beautifully balanced, aromatic, and even refreshing when the beer is artfully designed and enjoyed fresh,” explains Pair O’ Dice Co-founder, Julia Rosenthal. “The Hop Streak series is a venue for us to show our passion for recipe creation and balancing those hop flavors
and aromas to make a truly beautiful beer.”

The Let It Rye’d IPA is the first beer in the series. Bursting with Mosaic hops with a well-rounded medium body that is accented by a nice, spicy, dry rye character, it weighs in at 7.4% ABV and 70 IBUs. The Let It Rye’d IPA was released to Tampa Bay distributors on January 15th and will be followed by The Pit Boss Triple IPA and The Stickman Double IPA in the coming months.
