Those of us with Redlands roots are proud of our hometown brewery! As for the desert, all I could do was nod my head in agreement. We are sorely lacking out here when it comes to the beer and pub scene. Back Street Brewing is about a mile from my home in La Quinta (not Indio). I never go there for pizza or beer. The Yard House is a loud, busy restaurant. But at least they have some good beers to choose from in, as you said, this "barren badlands of beerlessness." We take what we can get out here!

It is owned by the Firstone Family that also has a winery and the Tire company. They filmed the tv show The Bachelor at the winery when Andrew Firestone was the Bachelor.... As far as Hanger 24 there beer is incredible. Another good beer is there local secret which is called Rotten Orange it is a mixture of there Orange Wheat and Alt. At there one year Anniversary Party they had a Blood Orange that was amazing, even better than the Orange Wheat, I believe the alcohol content was 10%. They only did the brew for the party even though many people requested it, they have not brewed it again. I would recommend Hanger 24 to anyone it is worth the drive, it is kind of a hour away from everything----A hour from LA, Newport Beach, Palm Desert and Big Bear.....

I have to say that I find their stuff a little gamey, but not undrinkable. It does make you dumb as a deer if you have too many of them, though. (Go figure.)

My husband was being sarcastic about the Mac & Jack's, we did know what the guy was talking about. Sorry for his sometimes vague sense of humor. We thought it was funny that this guy called out Mac & Jack's as his fave when he lives spitting distance from Stone. But he said he normally drinks lagers, so he was branching out with the M&J. ;) Kim Mrs. Beer Blog here.

Probably Mack & Jack’s African Amber.
