REDHOOK GOES BLACK
WOODINVILLE, Wash. – After hearing numerous requests from craft beer drinkers across the country, Redhook Ale Brewery (Nasdaq: HOOK) will reintroduce the cult classic craft brew Double Black Stout for a limited time.
Originally created by the brewery in 1995, Redhook stopped producing Double Black Stout in 2000 and craft beer enthusiasts have been reminiscing about it ever since. This fan favorite is coming back as a limited release and will be available nationwide beginning the first week of November 2008 through February 2009, or until supplies run out.
“For eight years now, Double Black Stout fans across the country have clamored for its return. We decided to go one step farther and use it to launch an entire series of limited releases,” said Doug MacNair , brew master for Redhook Ale Brewery. “By giving Double Black another chance to shine, we’re raising a glass to our craft beer heritage – and we think our loyal drinkers will be very happy with the result.”
Double Black Stout is a smooth, imperial stout enhanced by the addition of rich, flavorful coffee and dark malts to create a big, roasted flavor. Redhook brewers recommend pairing the strongly malted beer with grilled beef or dark chocolate and strawberries to enhance its decadent undertones. The beer can be found at specialty food stores and beer markets for $4.99 SRP per 22 oz bottle.
Following Double Black Stout, Redhook will introduce three additional limited release beers in 2009. Developed by Redhook’s expert brewers, the unique craft beers will be different than anything the brewery has created in the past. The next limited release will hit shelves in March 2009.

But gone, however is the Starbuck's label. And good riddance...
Perhaps you ought to consider a seperate author on your site, one entitled Press Releases, because when you republish one and use it as content, it seems a bit false that you 'wrote' the material, as is the case about.
That's not a bad idea, Thomas. I'll consider it. My intention isn't to "falsify" anything, of course. Occasionally, however, disseminating press release info I think will be relevant to readers doesn't warrant additional embellishment from me - perhaps the additional "author" will better distinguish what's what. I appreciate the tip.
