Redhook Brewery

Woodinville, WA redhook.com

Paul Shipman and Gordon Bowker actually founded Redhook Ale Brewery in Seattle in May 1981 for two reasons: the Pacific Northwest drank more draught beer than anywhere in the country, and the import beer market was growing everywhere. They added a brewery in Woodinville, Wash., and another in Portsmouth, N.H. With bi-coastal breweries, beer drinkers are guaranteed a fresh Redhook Ale no matter where they are.

The Revolution began in 1988, in the basement of the first Rogue Public House on Lithia Creek in Ashland, Ore., where handcrafted ales, porters, stout and lagers were born. The spirit of the Rogue brand, even in the name, suggests doing things differently, a desire and willingness to change the status quo.
