New Beer Friday 8/14/26

We here at Utah Beer Burgers, Dives and Gastro-Cafeterias would like to extend our warmest welcomes to you this weekend as we offer this excellent menu of New Beer Friday beverages. Please hurry before Dee's lawyers shut us down.

Beer Nerd Radio transforms into Wine Nerd Radio this Friday as Ogden's Purple Sky Winery steps into the Radio Pub. Head Wine Maker David MaKieve joins Steph and Mikey as we get into Viticulture and Enology and of course badass Purple Sky Wines! Don't miss out today (Friday) at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/

Proper - Laaga: Missed this new Lager from Proper. I'll try to get some info out tomarrow. Keep an eye on my socials. 5.0% - Available now at Proper.

Offset - American Porter: Offset has made London Porter a few times now but this time its got more of an "American" spin. A little more body, a more intense roast profile, and a bit more hop character courtesy of some amazing Cascade hops grown by the lovely ladies at Gooding Farms. Not ashy/astringent, It's incredibly soft and smooth yet brimming with flavor. Let this one warm a bit for maximum enjoyment. 4.8% - Available now at Offset

Offset - Fast Hand: This new West Coast IPA is the centerpiece of Offset's Spaghetti Western themed West Coast IPA series. Fast Hand utilizes the same base of Krush and Chinook, Idaho 7 and Simcoe, with some late harvest Riwaka, and Krush Cryo. Electric grapefruit, crushed red berry, and juicy melon dominate the profile. Elevated bitterness and a dry finish keep everything in check and help to deliver the best West Coast IPA brewed to date. 6.66% - Available now at Offset

Level Crossing - Sun Slope Sour IPA: Big citrus. Not sure what the hops are but the pop with more citrus. I think this is a small batch & it’s only available at Level X-ing’s downtown location. Nice Sour IPA. Very drinkable, to the point you can’t tell it’s an IPA. 5.0% only at Level Crossing downtown SLC Brewpub.

Helper - New Zealand Pilsner: A reinvention of a lager from a few years ago. This NZ Pilsner screams melon flavor. There’s some diesel as well but the focus here is on the melon and herbal hops. Brief notes of vague berry & strawberry as well. It finishes with an herbal hop zap. Wow! 5.0% - Available at Helper Brewing and should be popping up at your better beer bars around SLC.

RoHa - Lab Line (Speed Fly): Small Batch: Simple old school flavors that push raw citrus, pine & toasty grains. The whole combo comes across as “herbed bread loaf“. Would kill this pint with a cold cut sando or movie popcorn. 5.0% - Only at Roha.

Cheers! 

New Beer Friday 8/7/26

Need a moment away? We here at Utah Beer Detailing, Pimping and Buffing recommend one of our fine waiting rooms at one of the following New Beer Friday locations. Enjoy your weekend–and remember to breath.

One of Utah's OG beer brands is back from the abyss, as Beer Nerd Radio welcomes Becker's Best Beers to the Radio Pub. Founded in 1890 Becker's is one of the oldest brands in Utah AND now it's been resurrected. Join Steph and Mikey with special guest Karen Becker Friday at 2pm - 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/

TF - Imperial Paloma: Whoa! This ain’t a dainty fruited sour. It screams citrus. It’s vague at first, then grapefruit takes a baseball bat to your jaw-locking it up. The base is lemony but this ale relies on the grapefruit. The 11.2% ABV is present! Mind yourselves! Available now at TF.

RoHa - Banana Hammock: When I had this ale, it was named "Banana Boat" – Same beer if yer wondering. All German with nice estery yeast. Banana mostly with hints of clove. Some bubblegum too. Nice wheated base. Try it with an orange wedge. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.

Wolfdog - Lemon Shark: Actual lemon aroma in this sour ale, not just lactic acid. Subtle base sour with nice lemon flavor. Some vanilla backing it up. Love this sour! 5.0% - Only at Wolfdog.

SL Brewing/Squatters - Necessary Evil: This new Cascadian Dark Ale features all Centennial hops. Roasty aroma with some pine & zest. Centennial hops add a lot of character with more pine & zest in the flavor. Solid Cascadian dark. 5.0% - Only at SL Brewing/Squatters locations.  

SL Brewing/Squatters - Pine View: Super fresh. You can taste both of these hops-absolutely! I think the Centennial hit slightly harder than the Mosaic. Still.. it creates big citrus with strawberry backing it up. Tasty stuff. 5.0% - Only at SL Brewing/Squatters locations.

Talisman - Feathered Monk: Missed this new Belgian-style Golden Strong ale 9.5% 

Park City - Das Bier: Missed this new Helles Lager. 5.0% 

Cheers!

New Pie & Beer Day Friday! 7/24/26

 

Happy New Beer Pie & Beer Day Friday! It's a rare time when these two beloved events line-up in one blessed calendar day. To celebrate we here at Utah Beer Ensembles, Thespians & Toe Tappers have created a new musical to ring in this most hollowed holiday. There are some breweries that created new beers just for today, and cherry seems to be the theme. Please enjoy!

Beer Nerd Radio offers up a best of show today. What will be our mystery show? Check us out and find out at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. 

Epic Brewing - Pie & Beer Day (Cheery Pie Cream Ale): Subtle sweetness. It’s a cream ale for sure without the “cream”. It’s not sweet per se; malty for sure! but that subtle amount of cherry really takes it to a level that is more happy and less intense. This is a fun ale, best paired with a savory pie🫡🍺 6.8% - At Epic.

Silver Reef - Pie and Beer Day (Cherry Sour Ale): Missed this sour cherry pie ale from our friends in St. George. 5.0% - now at Silver Reef,

2 Row - Pie-Oneer Ale (Cherry Pie Sour): Tart base with a definite cherry twang. Lemon backs it up with a medium amount of lactic tartness. The 7.5% ABV is well hidden so pace yourselves. 🤘😉

Level Crossing - Microcosm Session Hazy Pale Ale: Big Peach & melon aroma. Hmmm. Lotsa hops here, light malt body with an abundance of hop flavors. It taste like they’ve packed a lot of hops in here. it dodges between varieties peach, citrus, melon, mango & flowers. Wish for more malt to make it perfect. 5.0% - Very limited amount Only at Level Crossing West Temple.

Uinta - Test Phaze (Lab Sequence 006): Kind of reminds me of a fruit salad of peach, tangerine & guava & a hint currant. The 8.0% has some 👊💥 with a whole lotta DDH hoppiness that lingers for a tiny bit. NEIPA purists likely will find it too hoppy. Perty damn tasty. At Uinta.

Bewilder - Brew - Lab (Early Aughts IPA): This Old School IPA takes U back to the days of big malt & chewy citrus/piney IPAs. There’s flavor in thar! Mostly piney nose. Big malty pop! Smoove all around with pine & citrus hops. Full mouthfeel with nice lingering hop bitterness🤤😌 6.4% - Available at Bewilder.

Zion Brewery - Flying Monkey: Missed this Strawberry and Banana Hefeweizen made with Strata hops. 5.0% - Available at Zion Brewing and at  Zion Brewery Station #2.

Cheers!
