I'm sure it'd be tasty in a red ale. If it's similar to Whitelabs WLP013 it's best suited for british pales, bitters, and stouts. Fresh free yeast especially from a brewpub that brews good beer is a good thing! :)

I'd agree with BrewCaptain, I wouldn't go more than a week or two with yeast in the jar without making a starter and seeing how that tastes/smells.

I think London Ale yeast would work great in a Red Ale.
