If you're working with an interval of time that's known when issuing the query, you can add the missing hours by joining your results with generate_series().

It works like this:
select hours.h from generate_series(0, 23) AS hours(h);

-- Hello,
I'm trying to write a query that groups records by hour.
This works fine but when there are no records for a specific hour the
query does not return a result (this seems 'logic') and I'd like it to
return '0'. I suspect I should play around with 'interval' or something
but I can't get it to work.

Cut the trees and you'll see there is no forest.
