Redhook Brewing Gets A New Look

This year, Redhook Brewing celebrates 30 years of brewing.  In their 30th year, Redhook is deciding to unveil a new look.

What you need to know:
Redhook first starting brewing in 1981.  It’s not just the labels that will be spruced up.  Expected bottle caps, packing, even the bottles.

A quote from Robert Rentsch, brand manager of Redhook:
“There seems to be a movement within the craft beer community where a lot of breweries are trying to ‘out craft’ each other.  Redhook isn’t about that. Of course we’re brewing great beer, but we’re just as interested in having a great time. We think our new look reflects our personality well.”
