In 1982, Redhook was born in a converted transmission shop in the Ballard Distric outside of Seattle, WA. This beer is inspired by one of Redhook’s original beers, Ballard Bitter IPA, first brewed in 1984. After twenty-six years of brewing, Redhook is paying homage to its roots by releasing Big Ballard IPA. Big Ballard has a rich, deep golden color and a very assertive hop character that hits you in the nose before reaching your lips. The flavor and aroma are balanced with complex malty undertones. While it has a friendly side, make no mistake ââ¬â Big Ballard is brewed for diehard IPA fans.
