E-Malt.com News article: USA, NH: Redhook Pumpkin Porter now available

Redhook is releasing Pumpkin Porter to pay tribute to the season, beerpulse.com reported on August, 13.

It will be released as the fifth beer in his Brewery Backyard Series.

“We had a lot of fun with this brew,” said Alex Kopf, Redhook senior brewer. “We wanted to make a great porter and added traditional fall flavors – pumpkin, chocolate, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg – to put a little Redhook twist on the style.”

Pumpkin Porter is available for a limited time on draught only in the brewery’s Cataqua Pub in Portsmouth, N.H. and in a handful of bars and beer-centric restaurants in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. The beer is 5.8% ABV and 20 IBU.

Redhook was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 80s in the heart of Seattle. While the term didn’t exist at the time, Redhook became one of America’s first “craft” breweries. From a modest start in a former transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to the current breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook has become one of America’s most recognized craft breweries.
