Winter Hook Winter Ale still in Redhook variety packs -- and still good
I was surprised that my purchase of a Redhook variety pack would contain a winter seasonal. It's April, right?
But the Winter Hook Winter Ale is still good.
The Redhook variety pack ($15.99 at a local Food Lion) comes in a cardboard box with no window on the contents inside, so the word "seasonal" on the outside didn't let me know what season I was allegedly in.
The pack included three of my personal favorite, Redhook ESB, along with three each of Long Hammer IPA, Blonde Ale, and Winter Hook.
I also tried the Long Hammer IPA last night (for the first time? I can't remember). I give Redhook credit for not over-hopping their IPA. Those highly hopped IPAs are fun for experimentation and maybe some pairings, but for drinkability, I'll stick with the basic IPA recipe.
By the way, I recently re-discovered the IPA produced by our local New South Brewing Co. -- outstanding.
