Redhook Ale Brewery levels with NH legislators on hindrances of state laws
New Hampshire legislators recently visited the Redhook plant in New Hampshire for a presentation on the better beer segment. Redhook reps stated their case against state liquor regulations that are stifling innovation.
New Hampshire regulates the beer industry more stringently than the federal government, those at Redhook said, limiting the types of beer they can produce in the state. The state’s historic definition of beer, which does not allow for higher alcohol use or unique ingredients, some as simple as sugar, fruits and spices, is often the root of the problem, they said.
The beer industry in New Hampshire is a $1.2 billion effort, which employs more than 5,000 people
