News from St George Spirits (Hangar One Vodka Makers)

It was just these few words "Hangar One (the raspberry is dynamite)", read in a Chowhound Post back in October that alerted me to the existence of Hangar One. I went and found me a bottle. I fell in love. This is one of the most delicious, fragrant, fruitful, liquors I have ever tasted. It tastes real, like fruit, it doesn't taste fake, like fruit-flavoured candy. I keep a bottle in my freezer and sometimes, for a treat, allow myself a little glass with a nibble of Cote d'Or Plain chocolate with hazelnuts.

As soon as I discovered this elixir I checked out their website and joined up for their mailing list. I was particularly excited because there was a note saying they hoped to open their Hangar to the Public sometime in the future. Luckily, for me, they are based just over the Bay Bridge from San Francisco in Naval Base, Alameda. The future is soon, Here is an email I received from them yesterday:

tasting room announcement!

To all of you who have been patiently waiting, we are opening our doors
for a sneak preview of our fantastic new space from December 20th through
December 23rd from Noon to Five PM. We will have all Aqua Perfecta
products available for sale. However, our retail shop, which will have the
vodkas and whiskey available for sale, as well as many things we haven’t
even thought up yet, will not be open for another month or so.

The view is spectacular, the hangar is huge. The three stills (we have a
new one!) are polished and glowing. Come and get a look.

We can be found at 2601 Monarch St. at Alameda Point (the old Naval Air
Station.)
