New Beer Saint Patrick's Day Friday

Normally this is where I'd start a rant about not drinking green beer today. Between all of the odd adjunct beers and fruited this-and-that smoothie ales.... just fuck it, you-do-you. Green is probably the least of your problems today. Happy New Beer Saint Patrick's Day Friday!

No matter if you're a life-long Utahan, or a transplant. There's one thing that connects us all. None of us knows a damn thing about what's legal regarding Utah's liquors laws. Luckily for you, Tanner Lenart, Utah's Liquor Lawyer will join us on Beer Nerd Radio today, to walk us through all of the new laws and some of the old laws you probably never new existed. Don't go on your pub crawl without listen first! That's at 2pm on 99.9FM KUAA. 

RoHa - Golden Hour Belgian Wit: Toasty wheat combined with a yeast strain that is low on phenolic character. Some spices from grains of paradise and orange peel are present as well. This will likely be available all summer.... if we get a summer. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.

Bewilder/Lucky13 - Lucky's Red Tractor Reserve: This collaboration with SLC's beloved pub Lucky13 is actually blend of of Bewilder's Double ESB and Barrel-Aged Mole Porter. The result comes across very much like it is described on the label an Barrel-aged Imperial ESB. It's quite fruity with nice roasty notes and sturdy whiskey flavors. The whole package is damn smooth. Great beer. 6.7% - Available at Lucky 13 and Bewilder. Very Limited.

Fisher - Voile: This “Low Angle Lager” is the perfect beer to celebrate with at the top of the skin track, or for a little apres' in the parking lot after an epic day in the Wasatch. Simple, Solid, Beer. 5.0% - Only available at Fisher.

Wasatch - Salt Lime Cerveza: The scent had hints of lime and grain. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain malt base and lime zest flare. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall, it is a great beer.  5.0% - Available at Wasatch in Park City and at the West Side Tavern in SLC. 

Wasatch - Ginger Beer: This is not the kind of ginger beer that you may be thinking of mixing with whiskey, this is an ale made with ginger for enhancement. while it does have some ginger spiciness, it quite subtle and pairs well with the base beer and sushi! 5.0% - Available at Wasatch in Park City and at the West Side Tavern in SLC. 

Red Rock - Blackalicious: Aroma has notes of cocoa, dark fruits, roasted malts, and molasses. Very nice aroma albeit somewhat subdued. Taste is quite smoky with notes of roasted and smoked malts, molasses, chocolate, and dark fruits. Incredibly complex array of flavors. Not a ton of hops here, no bitterness is left on the finish. 7.8% - Avaiable at all Red Rock locations
