New Beer Friday 5/12/23

I took this photo a few years ago of Bud Light Truck loosing control, then going down a hill to rest in a ward house parking lot. Never has there been so much spilt beer at a ward. It was a bit of a slow week, due to many of our local brewers being out of town at the Craft Brewers Conference and World Beer Cup. But we managed to dig up a few great new beers to help make this gorgeous weekend even better.

Speaking of World Beer Cup, this week on Beer Nerd Radio we'll get into beer competitions with Brittany Watts and Kyle Luce of TF Brewing. It all starts at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. 

TF - Superdelic: This Imperial Hazy India Pale Ale pours a turbid yellow-tinted gold color with fantastic lacing of white foam. Taste is juicy mango, orange, melon, peach, pear. Alcohol sweetness is noticeable but balanced by spicy bitter pine. Easy to drink for the abv. Another solid beer from TF. 8.5% - Available at TF starting today.

Offset - Funky Table: This is a small offering of mixed fermentation ales to be released a few times a year. Some will be blends, others will be single casks. Some will be dry hopped, others will be fruited. This version has a nice level of funk with notes of lemon, light hay, and bright hop characterCascade we used in the Table Bier portion of this blend. A really refreshing bier with depth and complexity. 5.0% - Only one barrel produced and it's only on draft at Offset Bier.

Offset - Persona: This "new world pilsner" debuts Saturday 5/13. 5.0% - Available at Offset Bier.

Kiitos - Pink Boots (Hopped UP Lager): This is an herbal and melon forward lager, they're a grassy snap as well. It all finishes on the dry/hoppy side. A nice warm weather lager. 5.0% - Available at Kiitos.

Salt Flats - Three On The Tree: This Schwartzbier Very nice. Light cocoa with minimal sweetness. The malts are there, but very subtle. Clean with a minor lingering finish. 5.0% - Available at Salt Flats 

Salt Flats/Uinta - Hop Across the Freeway: Old school pale meets new. Aggressively hopped with some NZ flavors up front, but it finishes with a good dose of TZ in the finish. The bitterness isn't overwhelming, but has yhat DDH feel. 5.0% - Available at Salt Flats and Uinta.

Cheers!
