Celebrate Drink Beer Day at The Hangar with a Local Craft Beer

Need another excuse to drink beer? We do too.

In case you haven't quite satisfied your brewski fix, boozer's alike have created yet another day dedicated to this wonderful Jesus juice! Drink Beer Day is on Wednesday, September 28th.

Here at The Hangar, we're paying respects to the history of beer, and all the wonder it has brought us as a society. After all, it is one of the oldest beverages in human history.

​Historians believe that humans have been producing beer, or some form of it, since the Neolithic Era (about 10,200 BC). Can you believe that?

Over 1,000 years ago, yes ONE THOUSAND YEARS ago, the Weihenstephan brewery began producing beers. We know, it's like one of the Cullens owns it or something. lol Today the Weihenstephan (insert the German we think we know) is still producing at least 14 beers and shipping them all over the world.

We'll be cheers-ing to the history of beer with a local craft brew on September 28th. We hope you'll join us!

How you know you're in love with Oktoberfest!

Butterflies in your stomach? Sweaty palms? A little nervous?

The dream of reuniting with your one true love, beer, is back! At last with San Antonio celebrating Oktoberfest, anyway. Here are a few signs that you have found your one true Oktoberfest brew:

#1) You catch yourself staring
Studies say that your eyes say a lot about how you feel about someone, or something. When you are in love, your eyes involuntarily fixate themselves on the object of your affections. So, when you're walking down the isle of H-E-B and you catch yourself lingering at the beer section “just to look,” own up...you're in love! ​
#2) You can't stop thinking about them 
In the beginning of your new found beer-lationship you may find yourself not being able to thinking about how that hop tasted or smelt. If your new favorite Oktoberfest brew has become your latest obsession, you're definitely in love.

#3) You feel high
If you find yourself not being able to stop talking about that one new Oktoberfest beer that danced its way into your life, then you're probably suffering from a hop-diction. A sure sign, that that euphoric feeling you have when you take the first sip, is true love.
#4) You can't keep your hands off each other 
Just as you hunt down food when you are hungry, you may find yourself just as eager to make your way to your closest growler station, or bar to grab that one beer who got away. We can not resist the urge to touch our beloved brew.

Did the majority of these statements pretty much hit home with you?

Have no fear friends, your love for beer and Oktoberfest is perfectly normal! After all, Oktoberfest originally started as a wedding celebration in 1810, when the citizens of Munich were invited to witness and commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. 

The original festival closed out with royal horse races, but over the years the festivities grew to include carousels, swings, food booths, and small beer stands. Beginning in 1896 the beer stands became larger, and beer tents beer were added to host more fair festivities.

Now in 2016, we're ringing in the 183rd Oktoberfest right here in San Antonio, TX at The Hangar! This year, we've got two opportunities for you celebrate.
