Strange... Long Hammer was one of the beers that had me thinking I didn't like IPAs. To each their own!
 
Agreed. I've been able to get a pretty close clone and keep this one on tap at all times at home.....
 
I actually don't like IPA's. So I really can't judge. The only Redhook product I have enjoyed is Blackhook.
 
Yeah, they are owned by AB or InBev or whatever. I jog past their first brewery every night in Seattle (Fremont).

I was working for my brothers glass company when we got a call late on Fri that they had a broken window. We went and they were nice enough to give us a half rack of brew to boot.......I mean a six pack as was told back at the office.

Exactly, but they wouldn't have the distribution, a huge brewery in Woodinville and in N.H. w/o AB/InBev.

I liked their Tripel... though I admit I picked it up at the time because it was Ridiculously cheap... I wish I'd bought out the store's stock.
 
Im pretty sure the greatest beer of all time is Miller Lite. Its triple hopped!

I noticed that for the first time this weekend when my buddy was drinking a ML. Hilarious....just like michelob's porter being "All Malt" :rolleyes:


I haven't had a long hammer in a while but I do remember enjoying it when I had it last.
 
Longhammer is drinkable for sure. Didn't know Redhook was partially owned by AB though. I'll know to avoid them from now on. I try my best to stay away from any AB product.

You'll want to avoid Widmer, Goose Island and Kona under the same ownership/distribution arrangement that effects Red Hook (and of course Bass, Boddingtons, Spaten, Leffe and the other Inbev brands).
 
For IPAs, Stone Ruination is probably top of my list. For beers ever sampled, I can't stop thinking about Double Mountain Terrible Two I had a few months ago. Kept going back for more the whole 2 weeks I was out there.
 
Illinois was lucky to get Stone just recently. I've been in a real hoppy mood lately and I agree Ruination is amazing.

I was in Colorado on vac recently and Avery,Odells and Boulder Beer make some excellent beers. Avery had 20+ beers on tap and had their ipa 3 different ways..Original, dryhopped with chinook, and surprisingly dryhopped with fuggle! Awesome brewery.

I agree that Redhook is good considering you can get a 12 pack for like 13 bucks. You do get what you pay for, but considering you can get Longhammer for that price it's worth it.
 
One of the best tasting beers I can remember is no longer made, Duke Ale in 7 oz bottles. I really liked "Old Vienna" up in Niagara Falls, Ontario in the mid 70's. When I had some stateside it tasted like generic BMC, quite a disappointment.
