Redhook Brewery introduced its new Brewery Backyard Series of beers in June 2011 with a special release of Redhook New Hampshire Red Lager. Local consumers and media were excited to see the Redhook brewers stretch their creativity and welcomed the Brewery Backyard Series and the beer into their local pubs. If you missed this first release, don’t panic, release number two is ready to hit the Redhook Cataqua Pub and your local watering hole.
Extra Special Birthday Beer
Redhook is celebrating its big three oh – and what better way to celebrate then with an extra special beer? Redhook’s second release in the Brewery Backyard series is a highly modified version of ESB that replicates the flavor profile of the original Redhook Ale in the early 80’s, lovingly referred to by Seattle locals as “banana beer”. To bring out this unique flavor we fermented using a yeast strain that highlights these spicy banana notes. This special brew has a deep red color, bold hops and thick malty body. Don’t worry; no actual bananas were harmed in the making of this beer.
