Tonight’s featured beer is Hangar 24 Craft Brewery
California Spring Beer. I had the pleasure of visiting Hangar 24 Craft Brewery
a few years back and was really happy to hear of their plans to distribute in
the Bay Area and beyond.
From the Hangar 24 Craft Brewery website: “Spring!
A time of renewal. Renew your taste buds with our “California style” Spring
Beer, a unique fusion of a hoppy wheat beer brewed with a blended fermentation
of Belgian and American yeast. Pours a hazy gold with a thick, white head.
Floral hop aromas abound, complemented by the taste of tangy wheat and spicy
Belgian yeast notes with a bitter, slightly sweet, bready finish.
Additional Information:
For our first Seasonal 4-pack, we decided to create
something one of a kind. This beer was fermented in two separate batches, one
using a traditional American Ale yeast and the other using a Belgian Wit yeast.
The two finished beers were then blended to create an extra layer of complexity
and flavor. We also used two new hop varieties: Zythos & Calypso. These
hops add a wonderful tropical fruit and pear character to our CSB.”
Overall: Light, refreshing and extremely easy to drink, Hangar
24 Craft Brewery California Spring Beer is expertly crafted. The hops, malts
and yeast are perfectly paired on this 5.2% ABV beauty. I recall my trip to Hanger 24 Craft Brewery
well and much like other breweries that don’t distribute to the Bay Area I would
often think of ways to get some Hanger 24 Craft Brewery beer home. Well Bay Area, wait no longer as you can
expect to see their offerings soon. I
plan to review about six of their beers over the next couple of weeks so keep
an eye on the blog and keep an eye on the shelves.
You’ll be glad you did.
You’ll be glad you did.
