Hangar Two by Tangled Roots Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Glenview IL)

Hangar Two, the latest outpost of Tangled Roots Brewing Company in Glenview, Illinois, is a cheeky mash‑up of military memorabilia and modern craft bravado. The former naval air‑station hangar now boasts a soaring glass atrium that lets the light in just enough to make you feel you’re sipping beer under a cathedral ceiling rather than in a repurposed aircraft shed. The lineup ranges from a silky‑smooth Oatmeal Stout to the crisp, golden Valley of Gold lager, each brewed with the kind of precision that would make a watchmaker weep with envy (if you ever wondered what a former runway tastes like). Food follows suit: think pulled‑pork BBQ nachos that could convince a vegan to reconsider, a Hangar Two burger that’s become something of a legend, and a Handcrafted Pizza that pairs perfectly with the stout’s chocolatey whispers.

The staff are as attentive as a maître d’ who knows every ale’s backstory, turning a casual pint into a small celebration. Whether you’re there for a lazy brunch or a lively event, the atmosphere is a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary craft—proof that a place once meant for aircraft can still launch extraordinary flavors.
