Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year

In order to comply with NASDAQ Rule 4350(l), Redhook Ale Brewery, Incorporated
(the "Company") amended its Amended and Restated Bylaws as of November 30, 2007
to permit electronic registration of the Company's stock. In August 2006, NASDAQ
and the other major exchanges adopted rules requiring that listed securities be
eligible for a direct registration program operated by a clearing agency
registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act. A direct
registration program permits an investor's ownership to be recorded and
maintained on the books of the issuer or the transfer agent without the issuance
of a physical stock certificate. These rules will become fully effective January
1, 2008.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
