Hangar 24's second beer brewed in honor of American Craft Beer Week Beer. This beer has the added significance of being the 1000th batch of beer brewed at Hangar 24 since we opened in 2008. Rye India Black Ale, or RIBA for short, is a heavily hopped ale brewed with rye and three different dark roasted malts. This black ale features intense spicy & citrusy hop aromas with a rich roasted, chocolatey malt character complemented by a unique spiciness from the rye. A true American original for the 2011 American Craft Beer Week.
American Craft Beer Week is touted as "The Mother of All Beer Weeks." Each May, breweries and beer fans across the country celebrate the continued growth and success of American Craft Beer. We at Hangar 24 join in with events all week and the release of a new, distinctly American beer each year. The idea for this beer came from our tour guide Josh. An avid homebrewer, Josh worked diligently with our brew staff to perfect this delicious dark, hoppy brew.
