New Beer/Brewery Friday 7/21/22

 

Not only will you be getting info on the newest beers throughout the state, you'll get the lowdown on some of the Pie and Beer Day celebrations happening this Sunday. Unlike some "pioneers" we celebrate our faux holiday on the proper day. 

Last Friday, three minutes before we were to go on air, the power went out at KUAA. It was only out for a few minutes, but the damage was done and we lost a major transmitting component that killed the radio station for a good 24 hours. Beer Nerd Radio continues today with guest Marcio Buffalo (formerly of Shades Brewing), we'll talk with him about his new gig and of course KUAA's Pie and Beer celebration. check us out at 2pm. I'd like to thank Kevin Templin for coming out, and doing a brilliant show that no one got to hear. We'll get him rescheduled soon.

It's also New Brewery Friday! Logan, Utah's long awaited Prodigy Brewing Company has finally opened bring local craft suds to our brothers and sisters in Cache County. Welcome to the family!

Prodigy - On The Job: Missed this pale ale which is described as a blend of classic and new citrus-style hops. 5.0%

Prodigy - Cached Out: Missed this Hefeweizen. Described as a refreshing German-style wheat ale that is bubbly and lightly hopped with a fruity aroma and hints of banana and crisp apple on the palate. 5.0%

Prodigy - Rusty Hoe: Missed this Farmhouse ale. Described as a slightly dry & refreshing with a subtle but distinct Belgian yeast characteristic. Although the hops are detectable, they play a supporting role in this beer. 5.0%

Prodigy - Yellow Snow: Missed this Steam Beer. Brewed with a unique blend of woody hops & lager yeast to deliver a bready, toasted flavor on your palate. 5.0%

Prodigy - Aces & Eights: Missed this stout. Smooth, bold & complex with a beautiful dark color.  Molasses adds a uniquely rich, smoky flavor. 4.7%

Prodigy - What The Helles: Missed this one. Simple, classic German-style lager; lightly bitter with a touch of sweetness. 4.6%

Desert Edge - Fairway IPA: Citrus, pine and floral hops up front along with a lighter tropical undertone. Follows the nose. Starts off with the citrus and pine, followed by the tropical fruit and floral notes. Fairly bitter. Finishes with lingering citrus. 6.8% - Available at Desert Edge, The Bayou.

TF - Phaucet Phantasm: A bouquet of cantaloupe, pineapple, orange juice with a balanced grassy/dank bitterness. Taste has citrus pith with vague tropical fruitiness. The Phantasm must is mellow for the most part, but adds a nice vinious quality that is complimentary, but not overpowering. It’s very much a pale ale & not a fruit beer. 5.0% - Only on draft at TF.

TF - Incognito Citra Single Hop Phantasm Hazy IPA: This is NOT the Phaucet Phantasm. This is an entirely different beer. Differences are Saaz hops -Cryo Incognito & Citra. Much more subdued in regards to the Phantasm addition. It's more round and less vinous….. yet still vinous. 7.7% - Only at TF starting today.

Kiitos - Hefeweizen: Most breweries have a Hefe on opening day. Kiitos waited 5 years. Low esters with a ton of wheat and minimal banana. Towards the end of the glass, lemon really starts to shine. If you’re on the fence about German Hefes, this might be the one for you. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos.

Kiitos - AHH Pale Ale: Made with Zappa & Ahhroma hops. I’ve only had Zappa in sour beers & to my knowledge never had Ahhroma. This is very juicy & citrus forward. Slight herbal bite with medium bitterness. I’m gunna be drinking a lot of this. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos.

Bewilder - Vanilla Red Cream Ale (on Nitro): Velvety and malty with a nice dose of vanilla. Love the nitro. 5.0% - Only at Bewilder.

Bewilder - Czech Amber Lager: Lotsa toasty malt with a classic Euro hop smack. Nice and herbal. Finishes fairly dry. Quite tasty. 5.0% 

Strap Tank - Philly POG: Featuring Passion Fruit, Orange Guava (POG) and fermented with tart building Philly yeast, this beer has a bright medley of fruit salad flavors with brisk lemony tartness backing it up. 5.0% - Available at Strap Tank and Slackwater.  

E9 - Tacoma Brew: A filtered Kolsch-style ale that is light, clean, and delicious. Light maltiness, light fruity yeast phenolics, and light bitterness. 4.8% - Found at the Bayou.
