New Beer Friday 9/12/25

 

Beer Nerd Radio is about to get its rum on! This week Vintage Spirits' own Jessen Doxey will be in the radio pub to give us the lowdown on their rums and whiskeys. We're streaming at KUAAFM.org/ or at 99.9fm. See you at 2pm! 

Kiitos - Pumpkin Vanilla Latte: Absent since 2020. This is a new reinvigorate version. To be honest, I forgot what this beer was. Expecting a vanilla cream ale, I found allspice, medium roast coffee AND vanilla. Suddenly yer stupid boy figured it out. I’m funny, but not too bright. 5.0% - Available on Nitro for a limited time at Kiitos. Co2 draft and cans available today. 

Salt Flats - Dunkelweien: Super toasty but malty aroma. Tastes the same, however the yeast is in full play now. Lotsa cocoa & char with a slight bit of clove a medium amount of banana. The cocoa & char keeps it from becoming too sweet and it all seems to balance out.

Uinta - Fuggle Around & Find Out: Never had a Steamer on nitro before. Great malt profile, medium sweetness with some nice toasty grains. Flowery hops finish it off. The nitro really accentuates the malts.

2Row - Oktoberfest: Missed this one. Stay close my socials for details. 5.0% - only on draft at 2 Row. 

Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing. 

Cheers!

We've changed our logo. Adios to that F'n, beer swill'n Bee! Our new logo's vivid color profile and energetic imagery will soon have you flocking to my microscopic corner of the interwebs! You're welcome. If you can see past the brilliants of this meme, there are some seriously delish suds popping up around the state. Please check them out.

Beer Nerds rejoice! Our crack team of beer tasting tongues will be gathering on 99.9FM KUAA at 2pm today [Friday] as we pick apart this batch of mystery beers. We do all the hard work so you don't have to! Join Allen Handy, Jeremy Mathews and of course Steph and Mikey later today in the radio pub. Oh, by the way. We apologize for ghosting y'all last week. Mikey's day job took up way too much time last Friday and we'll get our pals from Flanker re-scheduled. 

RoHa - Lederhosen: This American Pale Ale Light, toasty aroma. Taste starts the same with more toast and a light caramel profile. Some light cocoa toward the end with a finish that’s herbal & leafy. 5.0% - Available at RoHa, Oktoberfest [Snowbird]. 

Desert Edge - Haze Threebus: This new TRIPA has a wildly intense tropical fruit aroma....grapefruit, mango, orange, and more. The taste is balanced, with intense juicy hop flavors. Lots of orange and grapefruit peel flavor. The body is full and the finish is clean. Excellent. 10.5% - Available at Desert Edge.

Saltfire - Deep Dive Series [Fest Bier]: Toasty up front. Then the sweeter malt pop in it’s not a caramel sweetness, but more English scone. Then the hops kick in. All traditional, mostly Saaz profile. Kinda in that territory between Helles & Märzen. Super crushable. 5.0% - available at Saltfire.

TF - French Pilsner: This collaboration with Haas Hop Farm and PFriem Family Brewers was made with Aramis hops. Big grassy and herbal aroma. Mostly classic Nobel hops up front then it breaks off into a tiny amount of lemon zest & berry. From there It’s all herbal and a hint of white pepper in the finish. A very nice job hop bill in this pils. Mikey Likey. 5.0% - Available at TF.

Uinta - Clever Girl: Just a hint of spicy yeast in the nose. The beer is t overly sour which means you can still get some of the witbier hiding in the background never thought of a sour wit. Not bad. 5.0% on Uinta's R&D Tap.

Fisher - Hop Back Pale Ale: This new ale features dried whole cone Simcoe hop flowers.This process makes for a super floral nose and a nice light fruit palate and dry finish. Coming soon: The "fresh hop" version of this Simcoe pale ale will be on its way soon. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.

Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.

Cheers!
