Hangar 24 Craft Brewing - Orange Wheat

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American Wheat Ale with Orange
ABV: 4.6%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 10
Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Flute
Hops: Amarillo
Malts: 2-Row, White Wheat
Country: United States

Hangar 24’s popular Orange Wheat pours a golden straw color with plenty of haze, as is typical for wheat ales, topped by a head of bright white foam. Wheat beers are often served with a wedge of lemon or orange, as the bright citrus note tends to work well with the tangy character of the wheat. Hangar 24 has embraced this concept, employing real, whole, locally sourced oranges which are delivered to the brewery right after picking. Those oranges...

O’Fallon Brewery - Show Me Amber

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American Amber Lager
ABV: 4.6%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 10
Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass, Willi Becher
Hops: Loral, German Tradition
Malts: 2-Row, Caramel 20, Caramel 60, Double Roasted Crystal
Country: United States

O’Fallon’s amber lager pours a bright orange-amber color with good clarity and a head of off-white foam. The beer’s superb balance is on display immediately, even on the nose. Look for engaging noble hop aromas evoking floral, earthy, and lightly spicy notes, joined by just a hint of citrus. Caramelized malts form the contrasting malty undercurrent, offering a nice toasty, bready impression. Those malts are very nicely realized in the flavor...

Hangar 24 Craft Brewing - Pacific Coast Hazy

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: Hazy Session IPA
ABV: 4.8%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 44
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra
Malts: 2-Row, Munich 10, White Wheat, Carapils, Acidulated, Flaked Oats
Country: United States

Pacific Coast Hazy presents a lightly hazed golden hue, capped by a head of crisp white foam. In the aroma, we picked up tons of bright and juicy orange and tangerine citrus notes, along with some tropical fruit, floral overtones, and a dash of pine. We’re off to a good start, and it continues on the palate as those citrus notes lead the way there too, offering an expansive, zesty, resinous character. The malt core provides a bit of tangy...

O’Fallon Brewery - Smoke Porter

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: Smoked Porter
ABV: 6.0%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 24
Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
Suggested Glassware: Willi Becher, Tulip, Pint Glass
Hops: Chinook, German Hallertau Mittelfrüh
Malts: Bamberg Smoked, Pale, Caramel 90, Chocolate, Black, White Wheat
Country: United States

Another popular year-round offering from O’Fallon is their Smoke Porter, winner of the gold medal for smoked beers at the 2004 and 2020 Great American Beer Festivals. Before kilns became commonly used to dry malt, open flame – traditionally using beechwood in Germany – was the method of choice, and smokiness was a common flavor in traditional beers. The tradition famously lives on to this day in Bamberg, Germany, and smoked porters like...

Hangar 24 Craft Brewing - Betty IPA

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American IPA (West Coast-style)
ABV: 6.5%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 68
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Centennial, Simcoe, Ahtanum, Citra, Mosaic
Malts: 2-Row, Caramel 40L, Munich 10L, Carapils, Acidulated
Country: United States

Pouring a medium amber color with a robust cap of foam that drops plenty of lace as it recedes, this is a good looking IPA as it rests in the glass. It’s named in honor of the nose art that American WWII aviators were known for painting on their bombers (Betty Grable being perhaps the most famous pin-up girl of the era). Hangar 24 uses an array of five different hop varieties in this brew, delivering a bold olfactory impact. On the nose, we...

Hangar 24 Craft Brewing - Fox 3

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American IPA (West Coast-style)
ABV: 6.5%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 80
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Simcoe, Centennial, El Dorado
Malts: 2-Row, Carapils, Wheat, Acidulated
Country: United States

Fox 3 is featured in Hangar 24’s IPA Mix Pack, and we felt it was a standout offering. This west coast-style IPA pours a bright golden hue with a slight haze, topped by a sizeable cap of sticky foam that leaves plenty of lace as it recedes. Expect a lusciously fruity aroma right away; we picked up citruses evoking candied grapefruit, orange, and lemon, along with tropical notes akin to pineapple and mango. Look for secondary stone fruit and...

O’Fallon Brewery - 5 Day IPA

Bottle Size: 12-oz
Style: American IPA
ABV: 5.9%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
Hops: Summit, Cascade, Glacier
Malts: Pale, White Wheat, Caramel 20L, Caramel 40L, Carapils, Victory, Bonlander
Country: United States

O’Fallon’s 5 Day IPA was the first locally brewed IPA in the St. Louis area, and is so named due to its extended five days of dry-hopping with Cascade and Glacier whole-hops, which helps amp up the hop profile without increasing bitterness. Pouring an attractive medium amber color with an off-white head, it offers a good look and plenty of engaging aromas as it rests in the glass. We really enjoyed the aroma, which offers a mix of soft citrus...

Hofbrauhaus Wolters - Wolters Weizen

Bottle Size: 500-ml
Style: German Hefeweizen
ABV: 5.3%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 15
Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
Suggested Glassware: Weizen Glass, Pilsner Glass
Country: Germany

This hefeweizen from Wolters presents a golden amber color with some haze, as we expect for the style, topped by a significant head of white foam which maintains a persistent collar after it has slowly receded. In the aroma, look for traditional yeast-driven German hefeweizen notes to jump out right away, including big banana esters and a touch of bubblegum which are balanced nicely by a classic, spicy, clove-like phenolic note. On the palate...

Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan - 1516 Kellerbier

Bottle Size: 330-ml
Style: Kellerbier
ABV: 5.6%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 25
Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
Suggested Glassware: Stange, Pilsner Glass, Mug
Country: Germany

Literally meaning "cellar beer", kellerbiers are traditionally matured in casks for several weeks and served unfiltered. They also feature a very low level of carbonation due to the tradition of the bungs in the casks being left loose, allowing the carbonation to escape as the beer conditions in underground cellars. This version from the world famous Weihenstephan brewery offers up a golden-amber color capped by a light beige head, with some...

Yazoo Brewing Company - Embrace the Funk Series: Saison de Bois

Bottle Size: 750-ml
Style: Saison aged in Bordeaux French Oak Puncheons
ABV: 5.8%
Serving Temperature: 43–50° F
Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Teku, or Chardonnay Glass
Country: United States

The further development of this beer in the bottle can be had for years to come. Fire roasted poultry and vegetables would pair well with the Saison de Bois, as would game birds and lamb. But if you’d like to bring it closer to the beer’s stylistic roots, try it with Belgian Frites and Andalouse Sauce. The acidity and fine carbonation will balance the richness of the potatoes and sauce adding to the overall experience.

Jessup Farm Barrel House - Wood Knot

Bottle Size: 750-ml
Style: Old Elk Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout
ABV: 8.5%
Serving Temperature: 45–52° F
Suggested Glassware: Short Stemmed Globe Snifter, Glencairn, Birrateque Stout Glass
Country: United States

Jessup Farm Barrel House Wood Knot has potential for aging between 3-5 years, perhaps longer if the conditions are right, or if you have the patience. This beer pairs very well with a wide variety of triple-cream and smoked cheeses, charcuterie, roasted veggies, grilled and barbecue meat dishes, like Colorado-grown lamb and bison, or try it with their famous “Mountain Pie” pizza. For dessert, try a flourless chocolate cake topped with vanilla bean ice cream and Wood Knot and chocolate reduction sauce.
