1st Anniversary Celebration Blowout!

A HUGE thank you goes out to the thousands of craft beer lovers who showed up to our First Year Anniversary Celebration! So many of you showed up in fact we were a little overwhelmed. I apologize for the long lines for everything, but hopefully it was well worth the wait. We will definitely need more volunteers next year if anyone is interested?!

The new beer released for those who were not present was the Imperial Blood Orange Wheat. Imperial Blood Orange Wheat was brewed with hundreds of pounds of whole locally grown blood oranges and ranks in at 9% alcohol. The blood oranges are evident in the fruity/grapefruit aroma and flavor. This beer is an unfiltered American wheat beer. This beer is a throwback to the first time I brewed the normal Orange Wheat where I used too many oranges and had too much alcohol. We let it age as we did the Imperial Blood Orange Wheat and it was a dangerously good high alcohol beer.

Another HUGE thank you goes out to the overworked volunteer staff! We originally planned on two shifts so nobody had to work the entire event and it turned out we just had one really long shift. Sorry and thanks again guys and gals!

We need your pictures! Send in your pictures of the event and we will post them. Preliminary pictures of the 1st Anniversary party are now on the website here: http://www.hangar24brewery.com/photogallery.htm

First Brewing Demo this Sunday @ H24.

Beer, Beer and More Beer will be brewing an extract brew on our pilot system this Sunday, 6/14/09, beginning at 2 PM. Space is limited, so it will be on a first come first serve basis. There is no charge to attend and normal tasting hours will be going on as usual.

Cycling Gear Orders Last Call.

We have enough H24 Cycling Gear orders to meet the minimum, so we will be placing the order next Friday, 6/19/09, so get you order in BEFORE Friday if you would like them in a timely manner. You can purchase them at the brewery or ordering them online here: http://www.hangar24brewery.com/shoph24.htm. For all of those who have ordered we will get a timeframe for you on Friday when we put in the order.



Cheers!
