Hangar 24 Renames Its American Barleywine

08 Apr 2016 --- Hangar 24 recently renamed their American Barleywine to Wing Over.

Due to a potential conflict with another beer’s name, Hangar 24 Craft Brewery decided to maintain their aeuronatic appeal by renaming their beer to Wing Over: a maneuver involving a steep climbing turn to a near stall, then a sharp drop of the nose, a removal of bank, and a leveling off in the opposite direction.

Previously known as Hammerhead, this big beer boasts an 11.2% ABV complimented by two English caramel malts and four American hops. Wing Over’s character is enhanced through dry hopping & aging the deep amber liquid for six months in charred oak rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. Spicy aromas spill from the glass: rich caramel, citrusy, hops, bourbon, and oak. Layered flavors of toffee, vanilla, brown sugar, spice, and rye whiskey lead to a warm slightly bitter finish. This is a strong ale, meant to be sipped, savored and enjoyed.

This beer is currently available throughout Southern California and the Redlands Tasting Room.
