Redhook Brewlab Debuts This Week (Seattle, WA) – Recommitting to its roots and its experimental heritage, Redhook Brewing will be opening their much anticipated new small-batch brewery this week.
Helmed by Head Brewer Nick Crandall, Redhook’s Brewlab, which plans to brew more than 100 different small-batch beers every year, will serve as a testing ground for innovative recipes that may eventually reach a wider audience in Washington State and beyond.
A beer-focused working space and 8-barrel system, built around a striking custom mural by Sub Pop Record’s Grammy-nominated art director Sasha Barr, Brewlab will feature 16 taps of rotating small-batch beers in every conceivable style, and artisan food from Executive Chef Adam Stevens.

Lickinghole Creek Brewery Goes To The Netherlands (Goochland, VA) – A Virginia brewery with the world’s most unlikely name, Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery is celebrating the state’s craft beer month with its first international shipment to the Netherlands.
Made possible by a Netherlands-based USA Beer Import Program that Governor Terry McAuliffe helped introduce to local brewers, Lickinghole’s first shipment will include HUGE beers like Heir Apparent an 11% Mexican-Spiced Imperial Stout and Coconut Quad, an 11.2% Coconut Belgian-Style Quadrupel Ale, so clearly they intend to make an impression.
Lickinghole Creek will also soon be adding a 50,000 square foot production brewery and a 4,000 square foot tasting room to their existing central Virginia compound, as well as opening a second location in downtown Lynchburg that will be home to an innovative brewing program and sour house.
