About
Hangar 24 began its craft brewing exploration with a true passion for good beer, the absolute love of flying and the pure enjoyment of being around great friends. My buddies and I used to meet at hangar No. 24 at the Redlands Municipal Airport, after an afternoon of flying, to trade stories, talk aviation, play music and share a few cold ones that were recently home brewed. These days, the location of where the beers are brewed has changed, but the quality time spent enjoying a delicious, handcrafted beer and conversation with friends is the same as ever. I personally want to invite you to join the adventure. Cheers! Ben Cook.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours fairly dark brown with a beige head. B/V aroma. Full bodied or nearly. This on is strongly bourbon. With a treacle trail. Definitely on the brown sugar side. It may need to age a bit. Must have been a "hot" barrel. Rating this on the bourbon! Cause the beer is sort of submerged.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours light amber with a white head. Treacle aroma. Med + body. Flavor is bourbon/vanilla and treacle. Brown sugar. Finishing on the sweet side, but not very. Not bitter. Moderate bourbon/treacle finish. Seems to have aged long enough to smooth down the bourbon. Very tasty.

12 oz bottle, enjoyed shortly after release. Yellow to orange color, cloudy. Off white, rocky/uneven head. Aroma’s of resin, pine and citrus. Retronasal there’s resin, pine, some citrussy acidity and light skunk. Flavor is moderate bitter with hints of fruity/citrussy sourness. Medium bodied. Finishes slightly dry, somewhat maltyt and rather bitter. Nice and refreshing on a hot California day.

Keg at Commons Ale House, Santa Monica, 16/04/14 - a whole 12 oz of this bastard before I clocked tasting flights were available @wasted rates !!! Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bitter hops, pine, mandarin, toasted malt, grapefruit, grassy. Taste comprises grapefruit, orange pith, toasted malt, light pine. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, hop bitterness in the close. Solid enough IPA, could have picked worse for such a HUUGE pour!

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrua. Pours a golden-orange that is hazy with a full white head. Taste and flavor are both full of citrus - not surprisingly, focused on orange. Refreshing but unspectacular.
