In the face of declining on- and off-premise retail sales, California’s Hangar 24 Brewing terminated about half of its production staff last Friday, brewery founder Ben Cook confirmed to Brewbound.

Hangar 24 Craft Brewery has renamed their popular Helles Lager to Wheels Up. Previously available as a year round, this beer has transitioned into a seasonal available during the summer months.

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.

Hangar 24 Craft Brewery will celebrate one of their biggest days of the year this Saturday-the annual release of their Hammerhead Barleywine. To make this year’s event even bigger, the brewery is excited to announce two new collaborations with Redlands’ own Augie’s Coffee.

The IPA continues to reign as the most popular style in American craft beer, but just how big could the style get in an industry that proudly touts a bevy of diverse flavors? According to Dan Wandel, principal of Beverage Alcohol Clients Insights for IRI, the IPA style alone is positioning itself to leap ahead of the entire “Progressive Adult Beverage” category in terms of popularity.

On March 3rd, Hangar 24 Charities received approval from the Redlands City Council to hold the Hangar 24 AirFest & 7th Anniversary Celebration on May 16th at the Redlands Municipal Airport.
