Rye IPA Mallorca – Punk Is Dad is our rye beer with 45 IBU, brewed in Alaró in the Serra de Tramuntana with Tramuntana water, organic malts, Columbus and Aquila from León. The story behind it did not come from a marketing meeting.
Rye IPA brewed in Alaró
We brew Punk Is Dad here in Alaró. 13 °P, 5.2% ABV, 45 IBU and 60 EBC. We mash at 66 °C, ferment with Ale House Strain at 16.5 °C, then give it time: 7 days primary fermentation, 7 days secondary fermentation and at least 10 days maturation.
Try it fresh at our taproom in Alaró or during one of our beer tastings. For parties and events we also offer draft beer tap rental in Mallorca.
From Punk to the Brew House
The music came long before the beer.
Long before FORASTERA there were gigs, squats, battered vans, broken amps, seven-inch records and far too many kilometres on the road.
We were not punks because it was fashionable. Most of the time it was not fashionable at all. There were gigs, endless roads, handmade records and too many nights with too little sleep.
For years Sven was part of the European Punk, Hardcore and Crust scene. He played in different bands, organised gigs and ran an independent label for more than twenty years.
That time did not end because adulthood arrived. And it did not end because the rebellion disappeared. Other things simply arrived too: family, children and the brewery.
Then something fairly simple happened: Punk did not disappear. It just became a dad.
Punk Is Dad comes straight from that idea. It is not a beer about the good old days. It is about staying yourself when life changes.
The base is Bio Pilsner, Bio Roggen, Bio Cara and Bio BlackBlack. We mash at 66 °C and ferment with Ale House Strain at 16.5 °C. Then we run 7 days of primary fermentation, 7 days of secondary fermentation and a minimum of 10 days of maturation. For hops we use Columbus and Aquila from León. We are not looking for perfume. We want bitterness, resin and a dark beer that still drinks well.
These days the noise does not only come from stages. It comes from the mill, the brew house and sometimes from the speakers in the taproom.
The music came long before the beer. And it will probably still be here when the last keg is empty.

Rye, Columbus, Aquila and 60 EBC
In a Rye IPA, rye is not decoration. It brings texture, spicy dryness and a creamier mouthfeel that changes how the hops show up.
Punk Is Dad starts round and creamy, then moves into herbal, resinous and direct bitterness. Intense without being heavy. Bitter without getting aggressive. Dry enough for another sip.
We brew it in Alaró with Serra de Tramuntana water, organic rye and Columbus + Aquila from León. 60 EBC makes one thing clear: this is not a pale IPA. It is dark, dry and sits at 45 IBU. That is the whole story.
Some brewers listen to jazz while brewing. Others prefer silence. At FORASTERA, Punk, Hardcore, Crust or Metal is fairly likely to be playing during a brew. It is not marketing. It has been playing for a lifetime.

What does it taste like?
Creamy start, medium body, spicy rye, herbal and resinous notes, clean bitterness and a dry finish.
What does the rye bring?
Rye adds texture, spicy dryness and a creamier feel. It gives the hops more depth than just aroma and bitterness.
What type of IPA is it?
It is not a classic West Coast IPA and not a tropical NEIPA. It is a Rye IPA: hoppy, dry, resinous and with a layer of rye that gives it its own character.

Frequently asked questions about Punk Is Dad
What is a Rye IPA?
A Rye IPA is an IPA brewed with rye. It stays hop-forward, but rye brings more texture, spicy dryness and a creamier mouthfeel.
Rye is not just an extra grain here. It changes how bitterness and hops show up in the beer.
Why is it called Punk Is Dad?
Because becoming a father does not mean becoming someone else.
Before FORASTERA, Sven spent many years in the Punk, Hardcore and Crust scene. Bands, gigs and an independent label for more than twenty years. Then came family, children and the brewery.
Punk did not disappear. It just became a dad. That is where the name comes from.
What does rye bring to this beer?
Rye adds body, creamy texture and a lightly spicy note. In Punk Is Dad it gives the beer more depth without making it heavy.
How do we ferment Punk Is Dad?
We mash at 66 °C and ferment with Ale House Strain at 16.5 °C. Then we run 7 days of primary fermentation, 7 days of secondary fermentation and a minimum of 10 days of maturation.
Which hops do we use?
Columbus and Aquila from León. We are not looking for a tropical IPA here. We want bitterness, resin and a herbal side that can stand up to rye and dark malts.
What is the difference between a Rye IPA and a classic IPA?
A classic IPA usually puts more focus on hops, aroma and bitterness. A Rye IPA is still hop-forward, but rye adds structure, spicy dryness and a more complex mouthfeel.
Where can I try Punk Is Dad in Mallorca?
At the FORASTERA taproom in Alaró, during a tasting or at events depending on availability. The easiest option is to ask by WhatsApp first.
And if Punk, Hardcore or Metal is coming out of the brewery that day, it fits the beer pretty well.
