Saturday July 24 marks the 14th Annual REDHOOKFEST at the Redhook Ale Brewery. The event will be featuring the Blues Traveler with special guests Crash King, Rustic Overtones, and Adam Ezra Group. Great bands are not the only thing making there way to the festival, Redhook is taking the step to go green. 

REDHOOKFEST will be maximizing recycling efforts at the festival and will use compostable corn-based cups. EcoMovement Consulting & Hauling is assisting Redhook with the composting and recycling efforts. Beer is being served in compostable corn-based cups, and the wonderful local food vendors have agreed to serve food with compostable paper a/o corn-based products—they are aiming for a zero waste at the festival! The hops grown in the Brewery’s Beer Garden use the compost made from scraps from the Pub!
