New Beer Friday 11/7/25

We've done some remodeling here at Utah Beer Headquarters. To ensure maximum visibility we made sure that the shitter is perfectly level with the window's bottom seal. We're all about transparency in our beer reviews and....well.... everything else apparently. Happy New Beer Friday!

What is a Beehive Brew-Off? It's only the state's largest and longest running home brew competition. As its date gets near we thought it would be a good idea to get into Utah's history regarding home brewing and how competitions like this foster not only great beer, cider and mead, but community as well. Mark Alston, Grand Poobah and head keg washer at the Beer Nut will be joining us Friday at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/

Park City - Yes Jeff: Mosaic, Nectaron (Abstrax) and Cashmere hops are apparently making any Jeff say “yes”! Mikeys Likey too. Big citrus, mango and peach are abundant here. So much happening here. Hop saturation is high and it tastes like it. 5.0% - only at Park City Brewing.

Park City - Jupe-Pow: Adina and Hallertau Blanc hops drive this tasty new rice lager. Lightly sweet pils malt starts it off with some nice lemony hops backing it up. As grainy and malty as it starts it finishes fairly dry. 5.0% - Only at Park City Brewing. Soon in 16 ounce cans.

RoHa - Brewers Select (Tipsy Tigress): This new IPA features Citra, Comet, and Cascade hops. It has a great malt profile. Now let’s pile on a ton of citrus hops. Orange in particular. From there it's pretty much a citrus party. 7.8% - Available starting today at RoHa.

Returning Favorites

Bewilder - Imperial Mole Porter: Aged in Tequila barrels and brewed with cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon - chipotle, mulato and pasilla negro peppers. Aroma of mostly cinnamon and cocoa. Flavors follow with a nice spicy mix of cinnamon vanilla and chilies. Not heat to speak of and there’s a hint of earthy tequila and oak in the finish. 

Bewilder - Mole Porter: This version has an English Porter base with Cacao, cinnamon, and chipotle peppers.

2 Row Smoked Habanero Porter: The aroma has a faint hint of chilies and roasted malt. In the mouth you get a nice dose of cocoa and dark roast coffee. The habanero heat is pretty subtle and is mostly limited to a scratchiness on the back of the throat, with little fire. A solid chile beer. 7.5% Available at 2 Row

Hopkins - Chili Mangose: This gose-style ale is soured naturally with lactobacillus. Look for flavors of sea salt, coriander, and chili powder, along with mango puree and roasted jalapeño.  The peppers provide a smoky, spicy aroma and a delicate spice on the palate. Mango gives the impression of sweetness and the tartness melds beautifully with the salt.
