Red Hook Joint Effort

[atoughram]

The GF and I went out to Red Hook brewery last night for the brewery tour and dinner. I ended up drinking one of the session ales called Joint Effort - celebrating the legalization of MJ here in Washington State... Had to stop for Cheetos and Doritos on the way home... Good Stuff!

I'd sure like to clone it...

5.6% ABV
25 IBU's
and I'd guess about 10-12 SRM
WLP041 Pacific Ale

Anybody have any inside information on this brew?

I did the tour a couple weeks ago for my birthday... they said it was "finished with hemp seed. There is no MJ in it".
Find some hemp seed and do a late addition?

From their website:
Joint Effort is a session ale brewed with hemp seeds. Dry-hopped with Zeus, Cascade, Summit hops, Joint Effort has a dank, resinous hop aroma balanced by nutty, earthiness from hemp seeds. It’s the perfect brew for sitting around with your bud, grabbing some munchies and enjoying a beer.

Hemp seeds are perfectly legal to eat, and are not the same as MJ, nor do they produce the same effect. Dried hemp seeds will add nothing to a beer. Hemp does NOT=Weed.

So what's your point?
Who said anything about illegal?
The OP asked about cloning the brew... I added to the convo. You bring nothing to the table.
How can you say it does nothing to the beer? It surely adds a flavor. I've tasted it.

O'Fallon had a hemp beer a while ago, claimed to be an amber but it was a straight butter bomb. Really soured my opinion on hemp as an addition for brewing. Red Hook makes some tasty beers so I'd be inclined to try one again.
