SEATTLE, WASH. –December 1, 2015 –
The
granddaddy of Seattle craft beer — Redhook Brewery — will celebrate its
35th anniversary as the Emerald City’s original craft brewery in 2016
with a new brewpub in Capitol Hill. The
brewpub will be located in the distinctive Pike Motorworks building at
714 E. Pike Street.
From
its humble beginnings in a Ballard transmission shop to its beloved
Trolleyman brewpub in a former Fremont trolley barn, Redhook newest
brewpub will be located in a building on Capitol Hill’s
historic auto-row, continuing the brewery’s reputation for transforming
historic Seattle sites into popular destinations for beer lovers. The
new brewpub will reflect the spirit of Redhook’s beginnings and create a
unique opportunity to experience some Redhook
classics such as ESB and Ballard Bitter, alongside innovative
small-batch brews, some of which will be available exclusively at the
new brewpub location.

“I’m
looking forward to my first ESB in the new brewpub on Capitol Hill,”
said Paul Shipman, co-founder of Redhook Ale Brewery. “This new location
is a perfect opportunity for Redhook to brew great-tasting,
local craft beer in one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods and to
help celebrate Redhook’s 35th anniversary since it first introduced
Seattle to craft beer in 1981.”
The
Capitol Hill brewpub will feature a 10-barrel brewery where Redhook
brewers will brew beer exclusively for the pub and the City of Seattle.
Construction is in process, and the new brewpub is scheduled
to open in the fall of 2016, just in time to celebrate Redhook’s 35th
anniversary.

“The
Redhook brewing team is thrilled to celebrate our 35th anniversary with
a new brewpub in the heart of the Emerald City,” said Nick Crandall,
lead innovation brewer for Redhook Brewery. “I can’t
wait to begin brewing new, creative and experimental beers at the new
Seattle brewery. We’re also looking forward to the opportunity to
connect with the community and continue partnering with great local
businesses like Caffe Vita. Creating distinctive collaborative
brews such as Double Black Stout ties all the goodness of Seattle
together. This is what makes being a craft brewer so great – working
with great people who really love what they do every day.”

About Redhook Ale Brewery
Redhook
was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 1980s in the heart
of Seattle. While the term didn’t exist at the time, Redhook became
one of America’s first “craft” breweries with its focus on creating
“better beers” for beer lovers. From a modest start in a former
transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to its
Trolleyman brewpub in a Fremont trolley barn, to its current
breweries in Woodinville, Wash. and Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook has
become one of America’s most recognized craft breweries. In celebration
of Redhook’s 35th anniversary, 2016 will see Seattle’s original craft brewery increase its commitment to the
Emerald City with a new brewpub in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
While
Redhook has “grown up” over the past 30 years, one thing has never
changed — Redhook is still brewing great beers like ESB, Long Hammer
IPA, Pale Ale and a variety of
seasonal beers. Most importantly, Redhook has fun doing it. Redhook
beers are available on draught and in bottles and cans around the
country. For more information, visit
