Chronic Brewing

Colorado has consumers nationwide buzzing over the recreational marijuana law, which made the herb legal Jan. 1. Hemp Ale
 Boulder, Colo.-based West Flanders Brewing, looking to have some fun, recently changed the name of one of its products from Woodshed Smoked Porter to Recreational Smoke. It's an existing beer with a new name, but some brewers have gone a step further to mark the change in their state.
  Washington brewers Redhook Brewery and Hilliard's Beer paired up on a marijuana-themed beer to acclaim the legalization of the drug. The result, released in July, is the aptly titled Joint Effort, an ale brewed with nonpsychoactive hemp.  If the name and ingredients don't get the message across, the tap handle—a bright yellow bong—delivers it loud and clear.  Joint Effort has captured national attention but is distributed only in Washington, as its marijuana-themed labeling doesn't allow it to be sold across state lines.  So consumers shouldn't expect to see Joint Effort in Colorado anytime soon.  Redhook said it has considered a Colorado-themed beer but has no current plans to mark the change in that state.
