When the 2024 Hops in the Hangar event takes off Aug. 24, visitors can expect a day filled with food, fun, and a bevy of brews to whet beer fans’ appetites. Thirty-one different breweries will have more than 120 beers on tap for guests to sample.
“We’re talking IPAs and porters, stouts and sours, ciders, lagers, and wheat beers,” said Hops in the Hangar Co-Chair Mica Glaser Jones. “This is a great chance to come and try some beers that you might not have tried before. I didn’t think I liked sours until I tried one, and I’m like, ‘Wow, these are actually pretty good.’”
