It may not officially be winter, but damn it, it sure feels like it. This week's New Beer Friday suds reflect this a lot this week; with a mix of hoppy, dark and boozy.
On Beer Nerd Radio today Steph and I welcome Mark Alston from the Bayou. We'll get into their 20 years on State Street, home brewing and surviving the pandemic (amongst other things). That's at 2pm on 99.9 KUAA or at KUAAfm.org/
Grid City - Honey, Peanut butter and Raspberry Jelly Nitro Cream Ale: Aroma of nuts and raspberry is nice light for the most part. Flavor starts with raspberry juice and it's tart off the bat. The peanut butter is a little muted and doesn't have the balance I'd hoped for. Nice and creamy from the nitro tap. 5.0% - Only at Grid City.Level Crossing - Raising Hope: This is a white peach purée-infused hazy IPA. It features powerful peach, stone fruit, and floral hops scents. Rising Hope has a gentle, rounded mouthfeel because it was brewed with a lot of red wheat and little bittering hops. It tastes like luscious apricots, Peachie O's candies, and fresh white peach juice. A crisp and energizing peach pith bitterness marks the conclusion of Rising Hope.100% of the proceeds will be donated to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. 6.5% - Only at Level Crossing
RoHa - Raspberry Brown Ale: This has a nice roasty aroma with some tart raspberry. The taste follows with a bit more rosiness than you'd expect from a brown ale. The raspberry is tart and fruity and compliments the roastness. My pal Shane says it reminds him of Turkish Delight. 5.0% - Available at RoHa.
Saltfire - Hazy Daze NEIPA: Aroma is a mix of tropical and citrus fruits. Flavor follows the nose, sweet fruit up front with a bit of bitterness and vegetal notes in the finish. 5.0% - On draft at Saltfire.
Heber Valley- Split Decision: Belgian Style Dubbel Ale. This dark amber beer comes in at 7.2% ABV and has a complex maltiness resulting from the use of Belgian pale, Caramunich, Munich Il and Aromatic malts and some dark candi sugar.
Hopkins/Utah Avalanche Center- Pray for Snow White IPA: Haven't tried this one yet. 5.0% Available Saturday (11/12)
Red Rock - Zonkey: This new Double IPA has a Deep taste of orange, peach, tangerine, honeydew melon, passion fruit, guava pith, and a hint of grass and floral notes. Moderate sweetness balanced by moderate bitterness. Creamy and chewy mouthfeel with ample carbonation and a slightly dry finish. Exquisitely crafted. Today this is only available at the Red Rock restaurants. The RR Beer Store is closed today for Veterans Day.
DC Brau - Lavender And Lemonade Berliner Weisse: Missed this one. 4.5% - Found at Slackwater.
Pohjala - Torm: A strong sour and salty wheat beer brewed with lingonberry, heather tips, and
honey. 8.0% - Only at the Bayou.
Pohjala - Baltic: An Imperial Baltic Porter aged on Palo Santo wood to celebrate Baltic Porter
Day 2022. 10.0% - Only at the Bayou.
Pohjala - Rukkivali: Rye stout brewed with caraway, ginger, and orange zest. Inspired by sweet and spicy orange cakes with a hefty dose of rye malt to bring warming spice character that is layered with sweet fragrant orange zest. 10.0% - Only at the Bayou.
Pohjala - Cocobanger: A banging Imperial stout brewed with coconut and a Caturra coffee from Costa Rica. 12.5% - Only at the Bayou.
Freigeist - Qimmersoriartorfissuaq: Freeze Distilled Eisbock. Malty and big. 14.0% - Only at the Bayou.
Freigeist - Schimmelretier: A historic Danziger Joppenbier: spontaneously fermented, an immense gravity, an extremely slow fermentation and a ridiculously long boil. It scores highly in the odd stakes. It was similar to Braunschweiger Mumme, except with more alcohol. 14.0% - Only at the Bayou.
Blaugies - Darbstye: Farmhouse Ale - Saison. 5.8% - Only at the Bayou.
Strap Tank Brewing is offering $4 drafts all day to all veterans and there will be tap takeovers and four new beer from Policy Kings, Talisman, Hopkins and Strap Tank. Hit up all of those spot to get a pint of some new veteran made brews today.
Cheers and thank you for your service!
