Summer Seasonal Wins Best Lager at Missoula, Mont. Brewfest
Woodinville, Wash. – June 2010 –Redhook Brewery’s Rope Swing Summer Pilsner was named best lager at the 18th Annual Garden City Brewfest held in Missoula, Mont. The 2010 festival brought together nearly 40 breweries from across the nation to compete in nine categories.
“We’re thrilled to have our Rope Swing Summer Pilsner recognized by this award,” said Greg Deuhs, Redhook’s lead brewmaster. “Redhook takes pride in brewing a variety of high quality craft beers and it’s great to see the work of our team acknowledged amidst national competition.”
Rope Swing Summer Pilsner is Redhook Brewery’s new summer seasonal. The seasonal beer is brewed in a traditional Czech style and is the first pilsner the brewery has released. Rope Swing Summer Pilsner offers a very soft palate and malt flavors that are offset by a medium dose of distinct Czech hops to bring out its authentic flavors. The refreshing beer finishes with a clean, bright, thirst-quenching quality. Rope Swing Summer Pilsner is available through July in grocery stores in 12-ounce bottles and on draught nationwide.
