Copper Hook and a Big Bear Arrival

Just drove up highway 18 to Big Bear on winding roads and stopped in the leasing office parking lot a couple minutes before midnight. Success! Also, it's damn cold but excited to ski for the second time this winter!

Copper Hook is an amber ale that's malty, smooth and super drinkable. There is nothing sublime about this fellow but it is still another decent brew from continually solid Red Hook brewery. If you're looking for a cheap microbrew to bring to a party, keep this in mind. THE ISLAND rating.

P.S. I don't understand why Red Hook isn't as well known as say, Sam Adams, and I hope they will be in time. They create a broad spectrum of very drinkable beers. David mentioned they have breweries on both the East and West coasts. That's interesting, maybe this cuts down on distribution costs? Smart. Anywho, I wish them well and would love to see their variety packs in supermarkets next to Sam Adams seasonals.
