 Hangar 24 Small Stout
A special release for St. Patty's Day. Brewed in the traditional "small beer" style made from the second runnings of our massive Imperial Stout Pugachev's Cobra. Small beers are a practice that dates back hundreds of years to monastic brewing traditions. In those days, brewers would make a large strong beer for the King or Abbot and then smaller beers for the regular citizens or monks. Our Small Stout is an American-style dry stout. Roast barley character blends with hints of chocolate and espresso. The beer finishes crisp and dry accentuated by a nice hop character. At 4.8% ABV, this is a great session beer for your St. Patty's Day celebration.
Additional Information:
We like to serve our Small Stout "Nitro" style. This involves using a blend of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide gas and pouring the beer through a specially designed "Stout Tap." We also use Nitrogen gas to condition the beer. Beer served in this way presents a beautiful cascading bubble effect and a dense, white head as it is poured. This is due to the Nitrogen being less soluble in liquid and coming out of solution quickly. The finished result creates a creamy texture and a velvety mouthfeel that we think takes this beer to the next level.
