Hunter Gatherer Brewery

Another stop on our quest to try all the local breweries was the Hunter Gatherer Brewery. It is another amazing repurposed space! This unique setting is an old airplane hangar.

The Curtis-Wright Hangar was established in 1929. This hangar has seen notables like Amelia Earhart and Franklin D. Roosevelt pass through back in the 1930s.

It is named after Glenn Curtis and the Wright Brothers who worked together with the build out.

It first housed passenger and mail planes. It later became a site for civilian flight training followed by aircraft maintenance. It became vacant in the 1980s.

It was saved from demolition by the Hangar Preservation Development, LLC in 2016.

Above is the observation deck.

In the distance below is the Owens Field Municipal Airport where one can watch the wealthy fly in and out with their small planes.

The inside has some cool repurposed features.

Both the front and back of the hangar have bars.

There is a variety of seating inside and out. We were also told there will soon be renovations to the inside making it even cooler in the near future!

We loved all the beers we tried which included pale ale, raspberry sour, cherry sour and golden ale.

The food was delicious here too although I neglected to take photos of our tasty meals. The menu has a great selection, even including vegan as well as healthy to not so healthy options.
