Some of the crowd favorites from the first year include Redhook’s recent beer brewed for Pride Week, Highly Verotic, a glitter pale ale, Transparent Reality, a citrusy, earthy pilsner, and its top-selling IPA, Across the Ditch, an IPA brewed with hops from New Zealand and Australia. Brewlab’s “Washington Native Series”, which features beers brewed strictly with Washington malts and hops, has also been a big hit.Other hits from the first year include beers that have been or will be packaged in 6-packs as part of Redhook’s limited release series this year: Peaches for Me IPA brewed with peach and mango, Continuous Revelation IPA brewed with coffee and Mothers of the Sun raspberry saison.Special Anniversary Party pricing will be available on all beers throughout Friday, and guests can try tasters of the three new collaboration beers by ordering the Anniversary Brewer’s Board, which includes 4-ounce pours of the beers paired with small bites.

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, Redhook has become one of America’s most recognized craft breweries. Redhook opened Brewlab, an experimental 10-barrel brewery and pub in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle in 2017.Redhook’s beer lineup includes Big Ballard IPA, Bicoastal IPA, ESB, Long Hammer IPA and a variety of seasonal beers, including My Oh My Caramel Macchiato Milk Stout, Tangelic Halo Tangerine IPA, Winterhook, and more.
