Hangar 24 Pugachev’s Cobra Presale Today
Hangar 24 Brewing (Redlands, CA) will be pre-selling bottles of Pugachev’s Cobra today at 4 pm. Cobra is an Russian imperial stout, aged in bourbon barrels. The 3rd release in the brewery’s Barrel Roll Collection. What’s behind the name? Pugachev’s Cobra is a plane maneuver where the pilot lifts the nose of the plane nearly vertical, then back to attack position. Invented by Victor Pugachev. For this stout, Hangar 24 filled 250 bourbon barrels with the stout in March, 2011. It has been aging over 8 months. The beer is officially released this Saturday, 12/10.
Get ready for an assault on your senses with PUGACHEV’S COBRA, an intense Russian Imperial Stout. This rich, black beauty with a thick caramel head is bursting with aromas of chocolate, vanilla, oak, bourbon, licorice and dark fruits, while flavors of chocolate-covered plum, sweet malt, bourbon, and roasted coffee explode on your pallet. This is no ordinary beer; three different dark roasted malts and rich maple syrup are combined in a truly unique brewing process to create complexity and depth. Once fermented, it’s then aged for eight months in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. This powerful concoction is designed to be enjoyed now with friends or cellared to perfection and savored in the years to come.

Hanger 24 Barrel Roll #2: Humpty Bump
Hanger 24 Brewing’s 2nd edition in the Barrel Roll Series is released today.
Funny-sounding name…real serious beer. HUMPTY BUMP, the second release in our exclusive Barrel Roll Series, begins with a hand-crafted Belgian Strong Golden Ale that we brew with apple cider from the local Riley’s Los Rios Farms and caramelized sugar. This powerful brew is then aged for eight months in second-fill oak bourbon barrels with Brettanomyces to create a one-of-a-kind drinking experience. A complex bouquet of fruit, spice, honey, and vanilla, with a subtle “barnyard” aroma courtesy of the wild yeast. The yeast also imparts a unique funky counterpoint to the slightly sweet, apple flavors. This creamy, full-bodied bottle-conditioned ale will mature for up to five years–if you can wait that long.

HUMPTY BUMP: A quarter loop to a vertical climb followed by a half loop to a vertical down completed with a quarter loop to level flight.
