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.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Like many pumpkin beers, this is really pumpkin spice and Porter. A lot of upfront allspice and nutmeg. Color is brown with some red or orange highlights. Tastes similar to smell. Get slight chocolate and minimal roast from the base beer. Not a bad pumpkin beer as far as they go.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Massive alcohol and vanilla nose. Slight chocolate. Black with a brown head that lingers as a collar. Flavors of chocolate, whiskey, deep fruit. Floral notes in support. Moderate chalky chocolate. Nice bourbon finish. Silky texture and oily. Beautiful.

2013 bottle at 13.8% ABV. Aroma is rich with quite a bit of chocolate, lighter roast and coffee, moderate bourbon, light oaks and vanilla. Medium light maple note. Light licorice note, dark fruit and medium light alcohol spice. Pours black with a medium thick, light mocha head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers nicely. Light lacing and medium long legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a moderate chocolate note and medium light roast character. Medium bourbon character with light oak notes. Moderate dark fruit notes of plum, prune and and dark figs. Lingering bitter chocolate notes with moderate alcohol spice. Light licorice and vanilla character. More dark fruit as it warms. Faint hints of maple. Mouthfeel is medium full to full bodied with medium low carbonation. Medium low astringency with medium alcohol warmth. Overall this is a pretty hot beer and not as good as I remember previous versions being, but it is still a pretty good imperial stout. Light maple with quite a bit of bourbon character. Decent dark fruit notes. Nice chocolate notes.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber orange with thick white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is caramel, spice, and fruit. Medium mouthfeel with strong caramel and sweet fruit.

Draught at The Cliff, Laguna Beach on 12th March 2014. Hazy orange with white head, orange segment stuck into the glass. This is truly orange in both aroma and taste, fairly sweet too. Ideal refreshment on a warm sunny afternoon, but not really the sort of beer I normally go for when in drinking mood.

Bottle shared by Aaron - thanks! Pours inky black with a small brown creamy head that sticks around and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is wonderful; excellent integration of stout and barrel, bourbon, roastiness, chocolate, toffee, vanilla. Flavor follows, light plus sweet and light bitter, bursting with flavors on the tongue. A hint of spiciness on the finish. Oaky vanilla chocolate roast dominate. Body is a bit lighter than the best in class, but mouthfeel is still creamy. My bottle said 13.8% ABV, but whatever it is, it is masked exceedingly well. Excellent effort.

Bottle shared thanks to trade with Alen. Pours near black with a ring beige head. Aroma of wood, bourbon but softened by the additional brandy barrel aging, milk chocolate, caramel and malt. Flavour is heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Fudge and molasses coming out in the palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. This is absolutley amazing stuff.
