The area where it all started for Redhook in 1981 is a haven for beer lovers with a number of notable breweries opening and thriving. Among those is Hilliard’s Beer, founded in October 2011 by Ryan Hilliard and Adam Merkl.</span></p><p style="text-align: -webkit-auto; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“We have a real appreciation for the brewing energy in Ballard right now. Thirty years ago Redhook was exactly where guys like Hilliard’s, Reuben’s Brews and Populuxe are today,” said Karmen Olson, Redhook Brand Manager. “We’re stoked to be working with our friends at Hilliard’s and to raise a pint to our Emerald City heritage.”</span></p><p style="text-align: -webkit-auto; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">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 hanging with your buds, grabbing some munchies and enjoying a beer.

Voting to legalize marijuana use in Washington is another example of the pioneering spirit that makes this state so great.”</span></p><p style="text-align: -webkit-auto; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In keeping with Redhook’s reputation for creating imaginative tap handles, Joint Effort will be poured by a handle shaped like a bright yellow bong. Joint Effort will be available on draught only beginning July 15th and will launch in 22oz bottles under the Blueline Series in late October. The beer will be available in Washington State only.
