Hangar 24 started when homebrewer and pilot Ben Cook shared his beer with his pilot buddies after a day of recreational flying. The beer has come a long way since those homebrewing days in the early 2000s, but the brewery is still across the street from the airfield in Redlands, California. And it’s still full of pilots and their friends, swapping stories over a pint or two. And whether the beer is Orange Wheat American Pale Wheat Beer, Iconic Double IPA, or Chocolate Bomber Porter, the stories are guaranteed to be as fresh as the brews! For a real treat, grab something from the Pugachev Russian Imperial Stout series… if you can find it! Hype: According to The Atlantic, Hangar 24 is the true pride of Redlands!
