The first beer in our Local Fields Series, Vinaceous was created to combine the best characteristics of wine and beer. Brewed in the style of an English Old Ale, this beer deviates from tradition with an ample addition of freshly crushed Mourvedre grapes from Temecula. Vinaceous pours a deep burgundy color and boasts flavors of rich malt, brown sugar, dark berries and a touch of oak in the finish. Additional Information: As with each beer in our Local Fields Series, we looked to local growers for inspiration. For Vinaceous, we obtained some Mourvedre grapes from our friends at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. Wilson Creek has been producing outstanding wines in Southern California since 1996. We anticipate that this joint venture will further demonstrate the exceptional qualities of artisan wine and craft beer and how they can work harmoniously together.

wish list, and deservedly so. impressive marriage of beer and wine. aroma is somehow boozy without any heat. vanilla, brown sugar, and a berry/grape character that is so seamless that it only adds to the richness and complexity of the aroma and flavor. started off juuust a touch too fizzy for my liking, but swirling was an easy fix, and the luscious feel was another strong suit to this brew by the time I was done. Just a hint of tartness in the meleange of flvors. This would be a good old ale on it's own. As aged with winr grapes and oak, near superb.

Sampled on 3/17/2013. This old ale pours a deep burgundy color from a 22 oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with decent retention. The aroma is grapes, leather, malts and chocolate, some tartness and some wine tannin. A medium bodied Old Ale. The malts are caramel, chocolate, bready and sweet. The hops are earthy. Decent and lively carbonation. Wow yet another weird and wonderful beer. There is the malt and breadiness of an old ale combined a red wine with some tartness and some oak. It’s a ‘un-expected’ combination but I am really enjoying the combination. One moment I am picking up some serious chocolate, the next some nice red wine flavors with some mellow oak notes. Nice blend of beer and wine, hope that the folks at Hangar 24 continue to experiment. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is tart.
