Redhook – Mudslinger Brown Ale Returns

Redhook has gone through a brief identity crisis over the last couple years – first Mudslinger, then Nut Brown and yes, folks, back to Mudslinger! It’s the same great beer, just back to its original name – it’s what’s on the inside that counts anyways, right? And for the record, Redhook voted for the name change before he voted against it. But seriously, the whole mudslinging thing is pretty awesome – whether you’re mountain biking, talking trash to your buddies, or throwing a no-holds-barred mud wrestling contest. Mudslinger Brown Ale is the perfect way to ring in the New Year. It hits shelves December 31.

Ben Harris Beer  

Speaking of Ben Harris Beer…Ben Harris Beer is Redhook’s special take on the classic Cream Ale style, brewed in tribute to our friend and teammate, Ben Harris. This is a beer that Ben would have wanted to drink. It’s a beer brewed for those who work hard and play hard, just as Ben did. But most importantly, it’s a beer brewed for us to share as we remember and celebrate Ben’s life.

Ben liked a touch of hops in his beer, so we hopped up a classic cream ale recipe, Redhook style. Ben’s Beer was brewed with ingredients you’d expect to find in a cream ale: two row barley, carapils for a touch of sweetness, victory malt for a touch of breadiness and a dose of corn for good measure. We hopped it up with some Sterling, Saaz, and Hallertau hops to create a crisp, clean and refreshing beer just for Ben. Ben Harris Beer will be available in select markets through March.

Here’s to Ben.
