Redhook is in an interesting position in the beer world, being one of the original American microbreweries (founded in 1981 in Seattle) that somehow is easy to forget is still around. I don’t mean this maliciously at all, I like (and always have) Redhook, but the series of acquisitions and … Continue reading
It’s been awhile since I’ve had any beers from Redhook, the Seattle-based brewery that has changed ownership over the years before landing at Tilray last year, but I’m pretty sure the last beer I had was Big Ballard Imperial IPA. As it happens, Redhook has been expanding its Big Ballard … Continue reading
These new ones came this week: Redhook‘s latest, their red, white, and blue-themed American Pale Ale just in time for the holiday.
I haven’t seen much from Redhook Brewery these days, but a package arrived today out of the blue from them: It’s new this year and styled as a “Golden Rye Ale,” with 4.7% abv and 35 IBUs. The insert in the box also notes that this new beer is also part … Continue reading
Over the weekend I popped open the bottle of Redhook Double Black Stout that the brewery sent me to share with our friends Paul and Sandi, and while I didn’t do the full five-point review—I covered that back in 2008—this is still a beer worth writing about. Redhook first brewed … Continue reading

Winterhook is Redhook Brewery‘s seasonal winter ale, which the brewery sent me the other day, as part of the early rollout of wintertime beers that has become the trend. (I love me some winter beers, but having them come out in September is just too early!) I honestly cannot remember … Continue reading
I received these this evening: A pair of this year’s Winterhook winter seasonal from Washington’s Redhook Brewery. Redhook is one of the grandaddy of American craft breweries, and astoundingly this is the 28th year of Winterhook. Each year the recipe is changed up a bit (in the tradition of such … Continue reading
I received these on Friday: Redhook’s Long Hammer IPA in cans. The accompanying paperwork is amusing; there’s a photo of a crushed Long Hammer can stuck to a… wall of gum I guess. And the release says: Where do you crush Redhook? Redhook’s Long Hammer IPA cans were specially designed … Continue reading
John Foyston broke the news yesterday which seemed to surprise people: Portland-based Craft Brewers Alliance Inc. said Tuesday it will pay $13.9 million for Hawaii’s Kona Brewing Co., cementing what had been a nine-year partnership. Under the agreement, Kona will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Craft Brewers, which also … Continue reading
