Tried to post this last night....
Red Hook is definitely local to you. Also to me, as Portsmouth, NH has the other Red Hook....ours is currently contract brewing for Kona Brewing Company (and a couple others I don't remember ATM). As for cost, our local grocery store chain has something awesome on sale nearly every week for $11.99 (or less!)/12 pack. This week that would be Lagunitas, Harpoon, Shipyard & Sam Adams 12-packs - with Long Trail 12's for $10.99. It is super inexpensive to be a beer enjoyer in this town. Add to that top notch micro (& macro) brewpubs, a taphouse with ~120 beers on tap and a beverage store that sells, on occasion, Ballantine IPA for $12/case.......and it's a wonder anybody gets anything done in this town.
Oh...yeah - I forgot: Founder's Dark Penance is extraterrestrially imbued...
GSOM, I am really in a pale ale binge right now, not IPA just pale ale, every one I can find. Gose beers are hit-or-miss right now, I must just not eat the right foods to drink IPAs or sours regularly.
I find most light-colored ales or lagers to be perfect just about anytime I need a beer, the darker ales are usually drunk without food because they have too much flavor to pair well with most food.
CB, Red Hook is everywhere here, but I have yet to try it. Brewed locally if I remember correctly.
