Beer E: Redhook "Ballard Bitter" IPA. $1.33 per pint. (Sale. List price $1.55 per pint.) Like Killian's "Irish" Red, actually owned and brewed by Coors, Redhook illustrates what happens when the microbrew trend meets the conglomeration wave. Redhook started in the working-class Ballard district of Seattle, still has a loyal, local-fan following in the Northwest, and has tried to maintain a craft-brew image as it has expanded nationwide. It has also opened an additional brewery in New Hampshire--and sold a 25 percent ownership share to Anheuser-Busch. "Ballard Bitter" was included to create a "flight" of India pale ales in the test. IPAs are popular among the micro set for their hoppy flavor.
