Redhook American Independence Ale Up Next in Brewery Backyard Series

We’re thrilled to partner with the American Independence Museum and to brew a beer that honors the beer revolutionaries –the true godfathers of the craft beer movement,” said Alex Kopf, Redhook senior brewer, in a statement. “Redhook’s American Independence Ale was brewed with local ingredients and follows a historic recipe, while offering a modern twist that captures the spirit and entrepreneurialism of the colonists.”

“Beer was a critical ingredient to local 18^th century political debates and we’re excited to celebrate the region’s patriots who launched the American Revolution with an American home brew in hand,” said Randall Hammond, president of the Board of Governors of the American Independence Museum, in a statement. “Redhook was the perfect partner for the American Independence Museum. As an American beer revolutionary, Redhook would have been a true patriot raising his tankard of beer and not only helping to sharpen the edges of an argument, but his bayonet as well.”
