Products



  American Pale Ale
Thomas Hooker American Pale Ale is an extremely vivid, medium-bodied brew. Hooker Pale Ale stresses the crisp bitterness, lingering resin flavor, and aroma of American hops which are characteristic of the most distinctive West Coast Ales. The caramel sweetness of the malt balances the chock-full-of-hops flavor to yield a complex but quite refreshing brew. CHEERS!
  Blonde Ale
Thomas Hooker Blonde is our most easily drinkable brew. It's a brilliant gold, clean cream ale with a smooth flavor. Fermented at cooler temperatures, the flavor is accentuated by a subtle malt sweetness and a delicate crispness from American and Czech hops. Hooker Blonde is our most broadly appealing style - enjoyed equally by the dedicated and the new micro drinker.
  Hop Meadow IPA
This pale ale was originally brewed in 19th century England to survive the long ocean voyages to India - hence the name India Pale Ale. To keep the beer from spoiling during these four- to six-month journeys, a stronger, more generously hopped ale was produced. Hooker's creamy IPA emphasizes traditional West Coast Chinook and Cascade hops which produces a hophead's delight of a brew: just-right complexity that's not too sweet or over-the-top with hops.
  Imperial Porter
Thomas Hooker Imperial Porter is a full-bodied, dark lager. This brew's roots are in the strong porters of 19th Century England, which ultimately evolved into the stronger stouts of today. Our Imperial Porter derives its tremendous complexity from the use of 8 different malts. We blend these to achieve a balance of sweet, caramel, and coffee flavors. A judicious use of dark roasted malts adds another level of intriguing notes to the mix. Generously hopped with German and American hops our Imperial Porter comes to life as it is allowed to warm to the ideal drinking temperature of 58-60 degrees. A great brew to add warmth and cheer to any beer lover's winter. CHEERS!
  Irish Red
Thomas Hooker's traditional Irish-Style Red Ale gets its warm, ruby color from an interesting blend of pale, caramel and roasted malts which promote a sweetness that's balanced with crisp, authentic, English-style hops. A very unique and drinkable red ale that's also favored by amber lovers. Hooker Irish Red is drinks well year-round, not just on St. Paddy's day. CHEERS!
  Liberator Doppelbock
The doppelbock style of lager came into being in Bavaria during the Middle Ages, in what is today southern Germany. It was originally brewed by monks to provide a nutritious drink during the Lenten Fast when no solid food was allowed. This has earned doppelbock the nickname "liquid bread" because of its rich and filling quality. Thomas Hooker Doppelbock Lager blends huge amounts of imported Munich, Vienna and Moravian malts with select dark roasted malts to achieve a malt lover's dream of a rich and creamy brew. Subtly hopped with noble German and Czech hops and cool fermented with a Bavarian lager yeast, this beer will leave you happy to give up solid food for a while. No dessert necessary.
  Munich-Style
Brewed in the tradition of the Helles (Pale) lagers that are popular in the Bavaria region of Germany. Our true-to-style lager is deep golden in color with a pleasant, malty aroma balanced by a rich, smooth flavor. We use only authentic Moravian and German malts as well as Bavarian lager yeast strain to create this smooth and flavorful brew. Cool fermented and aged for six weeks, this beer is made to be delicate yet still hearty. Hooker Munich Lager is great anytime of year but particularly refreshing in the summer. CHEERS!
  Octoberfest
Originally brewed to celebrate the beginning of the German brewing season and the 1810 wedding of crown prince Ludwig of Bavaria and his bride-to-be, princess Therese of Saxon-Hildburghausen. This amber beer was brewed in March ("Marzenbier") and left to age in cool lagering caves during the heat of the summer. Our rich and satisfying Bavarian-style OctoberFest comes from a special blend of imported German malts that creates a full-bodied brew and stresses a malty flavor and lingering aroma. Gently hopped and delicately balanced, its true-to-style, slow fermentation and long, cold maturation produces a luxuriously smooth, award-winning brew.
  Old Marley Barleywine
This traditional American Ale blends copious amounts of five different malts and various English and American hops to yield a rich and flavorful brew. We age our Barleywine in oak bourbon- casks to add vanilla and smoky notes, then blend these flavors into a full-blown sensory experience to enjoy on a cold winter's eve. Old Marley Barleywine is extremely complex and full-bodied in flavor. The drinker will be rewarded by first letting a small amount warm in a brandy snifter , then sipping it, similar to a fine sherry.
  Watermelon Ale
The light and crisp Ale has a hint of watermelon essence, which is accented with colorful hues, resulting in a very refreshing thirst quenching brew.
