New Beer Friday 6/17/26

Not feeling "fresh"? Is your popularity waning? We here at Utah Beer - Toiletries, Parfums and Eau de Toilettes have have concocted a New Beer Friday scent guaranteed to make you one of the cool kids once again. Please enjoy these tasty new suds.

Beer Nerd Radio is Gin Nerd Radio today as our pal, Pierre Goins stops in to the Radio Pub to introduce us all to the Old G Gin. Botanical Gins are huge right now and we can't wait to get into this new spirit. Visit us at  2pm today (Friday) on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/ 

Fisher -  Cage Fight Haze:  Nice and citrusy- some all melon and berry too. Has a nice hoppy finish - not too lingering. Enjoyed this pale ale very much! 5.0% - Only at Fisher.

Epic - Rad Dad 2.0: This new version of Rad Dad DIPA (just in time for Father's Day) features ADHA 1631 a new experimental hop from Roy Farms. Look for Fruit Punch and velvet cake. From there, orange suckers, like you’d get from the bank or barber when you were a kid. I think I’ve found a new favorite hop. Sooo tasty! 10.0% - Available at Epic Starting Today.

Saltfire - Domovina Monachus: This “Adriatic Pilsner” has a very Eastern European look, down to the Yugo on the label. Super toasty / grainy aroma with fresh cut grass. Taste is similar, but drier. Same graininess with more grassy herbal bite for balance. Domovina may be thing to come. 5.4% - Available now at Satfire. 

It's also Midsummer Shandy Fest! It's heating up in the valley so it's time to get out and have yourselves a Shandy this Saturday! Visit these breweries and check out their spin on this European summer classic.

New Beer Friday 6/12/26

We here at Utah Beer Entertainment, Soirées and Shindigs will not be outdone by other's feeble attempts to hold unusual events in inappropriate places! Please join us for some New Beer Friday "wrassles" on Temple Square tonight. The sight of Mikey in his onesie will be worth the price of admission for sure. Please enjoy some of the following new beers during the event.

Beer Nerd radio will be less intense, but full of entertaining personalities. Steve Kuftinec and Erika Palmer will be in the Radio Pub to discuss Utah's distribution models for adult beverages in the state and how they affect consumers. We start nerding hard at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/

Desert Edge - Pickle-Me-Timbers: I love a pickle beer. I do like this. It needs more brine and bite though. Nice dill weed flavor, but it needs more savory happiness backing it up. A squeeze of lime helps add some much needed acidity. 5.0% - Available at Desert Edge. 

Talisman - Myopic: This new Hazy Double IPA features Mosaic, Dolicita and Ekuanot hops. These give it explosive berry, citrus and mango flavors with a velvety mouthfeel. 8.0% Available at Talisman now to enjoy in, or to go.

SL Brewing - ConspiRYEcy Theory: This beer features a new experimental hop from Roy hop farms. The base is a rye pale. Nice spiced orange nose. Oh my, Mikey Likey. Nice fruit punch with orange suckers. The rye adds a nice snappiness, not too rye forward, but that lollipop thing is delish! 5.0% - Available at SL Brewing/Squatters

Uinta - Top Secret: This new NZ Double IPA has a bill of Nectaron, Motueka & Nelson Sauvin. It starts off with a stonefruit/citrus nose. However the tastes hits with citrus and melon up front. Some fusel alcohol with some berry notes as well. Citrus rounds out the rest of the show. Love this hop bill, but something’s not quite right. Will revisit soon to make sure. 7.8% - Available now at Uinta.

Offset - Only Me: The newest Just Me features Crystal hops. Look for citrus character along with a little underlying spicy/floral note. Mostly Idaho grown Pilsner malt was used in this but a single decoction still gives it some euro lager vibes. 5.0% - Available now at Offset Bier.

TF / pFriem - pFamily Pilsner: Toasty/sweet Pilsner malt with a hint of herbal grass. Wow. A zesty and herbally zap of hops on the edge of fruitiness. I swear there’s some berry in there taking it to the Czech part of the pilsner spectrum. I get how it excelled in beer competitions before it’s release. 5.0% - Available starting today at TF.

RETURNING FAVORITES

Desert Edge - Haze Jebus: Oh my! This is soooo silky. The mouthfeel here is…umm. Luxurious. Almost pornographic in its softness. Ummm, yeah… so there’s a ton of peach here. It intermingles with strawberry orange peel and guava. There a DDH resinous bite towards the end. Jebus! 7.0% - Available now at Desert Edge.

Cheers!  

New Beer Friday 5/29/26

I have no clever introduction for New Beer Friday this week, just absorb today's NBF meme. That was a real ad! Anyway, hop your May was great, let summer and summer beer commence! 

Level Crossing is back in the Radio Pub this afternoon. Head Brewer Chris Detrick along with Level Crossing's brew team will be in to talk about new beers and new tecniques for some of your favorites. Steph and Mikey get things rolling at 2pm today on 99.9fm KUAA - KUAAfm.org/

Level Crossing - The Great Gig: This new WCIPA features Chinook T90, Chinook Salvo, Chinook Cryo, Chinook Quantum, Simcoe Cryo, Citra, Citra Whole Leaf. First off. Love the ABV. Low 6’s for a WCIPA? 🙌 Big citrus throughout: pith, zest, meat-it’s all there. Some pine rounds it out, but it’s pretty subtle. The malt? It’s also chill, with just enough richness to make it interesting. One of the best WCIPAs I've had in a while. 6.3% - Available at both Level Crossing locations

Saltfire - Dorothy's Disco: Chewy Stonefruit with soft berries & citrus. Big mouthfeel with low sweetness. An almost Euro-take on the style. Some herbal hops round it out w/ low bitterness-just a hint to dry it out. Spicy hop finish.

Saltfire -  Ginger Rogers Syndrome: No notes on this one. It hits taps today. 5.0% - Only at Saltfire.

Saltfire - Terpene Killer: No notes on this one. It hits taps today. 5.0% - Only at Saltfire  

Cheers!
