Imperial Porter and Doppelbock 4-packs Now Available
Thomas Hooker Brewing Co. is proud to announce our Imperial Porter and Liberator Doppelbock are now available in convenient and affordable 4-packs! Two of our most award winning and highly sought-after beers. By using standard 12oz bottles instead of the old swing tops we’re able to lower our packaging costs significantly. Well we’re passing those savings onto you, delivering nearly three times as much beer as a swing top bottle for about the same retail price. The 4-packs should be hitting your local stores in the next few days. Enjoy!

Watermelon Ale now in Bottles!

Just in time for backyard barbecues and warm summer nights, Watermelon Ale is now available in convenient and cooler friendly bottles!
Watermelon Ale is on sale at stores in CT, MA, PA, with NY coming soon.
It was just days after Watermelon Ale made its debut last year that loyal hooker drinkers started begging us to bottle it. Well Watermelon fans, your prayers have been answered, just make sure you stock up once you find it at your local store because early reports indicate the refreshing summer is flying off the shelves!
