Policy Kings - Palm Tavern Pale: Named after the iconic black owned blues tavern during the Policy Kings and into the millennium. It's brewed with El Dorado and Huell Melon Hops. Perfecting balanced bitterness with notes of stone fruit.

Epic - Utah Margarita: Like Margaritas? Then this will be right up your zip code. Big tart lime rules this beer with a small amount of salt backing it up. Moderate CO2 spritzes it up. It's simple and effect. This will be the perfect pool beer in a few months. Available at Epic starting today. Coming soon to Maverik and grocery stores. 

Shades - Citrus Circus: As with the above mentioned Epic beer, this follows suit with tangerine, orange and grapefruit. It's a citrus lovers dream with added tartness from the beer's Kviek yeast base. No Lactose and quite delicious. 6.5% - Available at both Shades locations.  

Top Of Main - Vienna: Caramel malt aroma. Taste follows with more caramel and some vanilla. There's a minor zap of herbal hops for balance and a slight nuttiness. Nice lager. 5.0% - Available at Top of Main and SL Brewing.

Kiitos - Milkshake Pale: No milk sugars here - made with pomegranate, plum, raspberry, Honey Malt & Lemon Drop hops. The Honey Malt/Lemon Drop combo drive the “milkshake” part of this pale ale. There's a salad of fruit flavors here with citrus from the hops. A nice, guilt free pale ale that will make the non-lactose lovers happy. 5.0% - Available at Kiitos starting today.  

Uinta - Blonde Stout: Missed this one. 5.0% - Only available at Uinta.

Beer Zombies - Hazy Birthday To Me: That foam will last for days. Mostly peach and grapefruit with a good dose of bitterness.
