SEATTLE – July 7, 2017 – Redhook Brewery today announced the release of Bicoastal IPA, a mash up between a hazy New England IPA and a west coast IPA.
The
hazy New England-style IPA is taking both coasts by storm. Redhook
Brewery has a unique perspective on the trend, having a presence in both
Washington and New Hampshire. The Redhook brewing team wanted to
highlight the best of both coasts, and after experimenting with the
style created Bicoastal IPA, which takes India Pale Ale style cues from
both coasts.
Bicoastal
IPA captures the signature haze, creamy body, and ripe tropical fruit
notes of a New England IPA, and blends signature dank hops and rich
maltiness found in classic west coast IPAs. The hazy IPA is the first
beer in Redhook’s Limited Release Series, which features the best and
brightest new small-batch and experimental beers from Redhook Innovation
Brewer Nick Crandall’s recipe books.
“Bicoastal
is inspired by the IPAs coming out of New England, but with a little
bit of a west coast twist,” said Crandall, who created this unique beer.
“Given that we have a brewery in New Hampshire, we really had to nail
this one. Bicoastal has the signature hazy appearance and a really
smooth mouthfeel with a huge tropical fruit aroma. Then we gave it a
dank dry hopping synonymous with a west coast IPA.”
Bicoastal
IPA will be available exclusively in Seattle as part of the Redhook
Limited Release Series, which is inspired by the counter culture of the
city: music, water, mountains, art, coffee, and design. Each beer
features original artwork from local Seattle artists. Seattle-based
designer, art director, and screen printer Derek Vander Griend created the artwork for Bicoastal, featuring the legendary sea creature, the kraken.
Redhook is promoting a weeklong series of events for Bicoastal during the week of July 19 in Seattle. The event schedule is as follows:

About Redhook Brewery
Redhook
was born out of the entrepreneurial spirit of 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 a better
beer. From a modest start in a former transmission shop in the Seattle
neighborhood of Ballard, to a Fremont trolley barn that housed The
Trolleyman brewpub, to its current breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and
Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook has become one of America’s most recognized
craft breweries. Redhook will open a 10-barrel brewpub in the Capitol
Hill neighborhood of Seattle in 2017.
Redhook’s
beer lineup includes ESB, Long Hammer IPA, Extra Special Lager (ESL),
American Pale Ale, and a variety of seasonal beers, including Blackhook,
Summerhook, and Winterhook. Redhook beers are available on draught and
in bottles and cans around the country.
