Rare Hangar 24 Vertical
Aging and cellaring beer is a relatively new practice that has been gaining momentum over the past few years. Bigger barrel-aged beers can really change and mature over the years and it is always exciting to be able to try a beer at various stages of it's development. With that in mind, we are excited to offer a rare opportunity to purchase three different vintages of Hangar 24: Hammerhead/Wing Over, a barleywine aged in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels with 99 ratings from RateBeer.
From the brewery:
A well executed HAMMERHEAD is smooth and dramatic. This beer is no exception. Hammerhead is a big, complex, American-style Barleywine featuring two English caramel malts and four American hops. Hammerhead’s character is enhanced by dry hopping and then 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 and slightly bitter finish. This is a strong ale, meant to be sipped, savored and enjoyed.
FYI- with the 2016 vintage came a name change to Wing Over due to a dispute with another brewery over the name Hammerhead.
