As you know, one very important element of this trip was getting a chance to visit and support the local craft brewing scene along the route. This morning I got a chance to visit Hangar 24, a fantastic little brewery that just opened up 15 months ago, but is already brewing some fantastic beer.
They are located in an old hangar at the edge of the Redlands Municipal Airport. They were super busy today when I stopped in due to some issues with their equipment and the fact that they were supposed to be bottling today.
Regardless, I was still able to sample four of their beers. Their fantastic Orange Wheat which is brewed with local oranges, their American style Pale Ale, a German Alt, and finally their outstanding IPA. Just last night we grabbed a pint of their beer at the 66ers game, and it was good to actually see where it was made. Start up breweries like this are an inspiration to me - especially because they are succeeding beyond the odds in this weak economy.
Plus - tap handles in the shape of propellers - how cool is that?
