Hangar 24 Craft Brewery Set to Release 9th Anniversary Hazy IPA

(REDLANDS, CA) – A brand new India Pale Ale is set to join the Hangar 24 Craft Brewery lineup as the 9^th Anniversary Hazy IPA will be introduced Saturday (May 20) at the Hangar 24 AirFest and 9^th Anniversary Celebration. The 9^th Anniversary Hazy IPA joins an eclectic group of anniversary ales of the past. It is the second consecutive year an IPA will be the anniversary beer, following the 8^th Anniversary Citra IPA from last year. That offering was a silver medal winner at the 2016 California State Fair Beer Competition.

The 9^th Anniversary Hazy IPA is patterned after the increasingly popular New England IPAs. The Hangar 24 version is golden straw in color with a cloudy/hazy appearance and its aroma has notes of pineapple, guava and citrus. This juicy hop bomb imparts flavors of mandarin, peach, mango, with slight spice and a slight bitter finish.

Those options join year-round favorites like Orange Wheat, Betty IPA, Easy Glider Session IPA, Iconic Double IPA and the brand new blonde ale, and namesake offering, “24.”
