The editorial take
Hangar 24 runs a brewery taproom with a broad house beer list spanning a 2.4% ABV golden lager to a 10% peach bellini. Local ingredients appear in several pours, like California oranges in the wheat beer and Summit Tea's butterfly pea flower in the hard tea. A house-crafted root beer float covers nondrinkers.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Orange Wheat for a citrus-forward local take. The Tahitian-Style Sparkling Hard Tea shows a non-traditional use of butterfly pea flower. The 10% ABV Italian-Style Peach Bellini or Gringo Bingo Paloma delivers a stronger, cocktail-like pour. For a nonalcoholic option, the house root beer float is the clear choice.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer drinkers looking for a wide ABV and style range, from low-alcohol lagers to fruit-forward sours and IPAs. The relaxed atmosphere and mountain views may appeal to visitors wanting a casual taproom. The root beer float and Jr. Pilot menu make it family-friendly.
- When should I go?
- Anytime the taproom is open; the mountain and airport views suggest an afternoon or early evening visit. The relaxed environment suits a laid-back stop rather than a formal tasting.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No beer prices were documented. The house root beer float is listed at $7, which can serve as a benchmark for the nonalcoholic side.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer list pushes past standard styles with a 10% ABV peach bellini and a sparkling hard tea featuring butterfly pea flower from Summit Tea. Local ingredients like California oranges tie the program to its home. The low-ABV Daily Bread Lager and Betty IPA at 2.4% ABV offer sessionable options rarely seen alongside such strong pours.
