I was on a trip to Tampere last week and one evening I went for dinner at Plevna, the microbrewery with a restaurant. I quite like their IPA and Czech-style dark beers but noted that they had a rye beer on offer. In my time in Bavaria, I enjoyed dunkles Weißbier more than any other. I recall that Thurn & Taxis offered a Roggenbier which tasted much like a dunkles Weißbier but had a stronger taste and alcohol content.
Plevna's seasonal rye beer was brewed like an IPA but with rye rather than barley. The effect was quite pleasing. It certainly had a distinctly rye taste, but the style of beer was quite different to that of Thurn & Taxis.
I tried their brewmaster's steak. The steak was a well served 150 g steak with typically Finnish garlic potatoes. There were also shredded carrots and another whitish root vegetable (kohlrabi) which were roasted until they were sweet.
