From the record
Summary
Address: 1 Redhook Way / 35 Corporate Drive. Redhook opened its Portsmouth sister brewery in late 1996, making the company the first craft beer brand with bicoastal production. The plant expanded repeatedly and functioned as CBA's East Coast brewing hub, producing Redhook and later partner brands. In June 2018 the Redhook pub identity was converted to Cisco Brewers while the underlying CBA production brewery continued operating. The physical plant is the same broad production lineage later represented by Cisco Portsmouth, but Redhook is preserved as its own historical operating/brand era.
