New Beer Friday 05/17/24

If flavor is what you crave, we have you covered this New Beer Friday. From fruity to dank, hoppy to sour, we have researched the perfect beer for you. 

Beer Nerd Radio would like to welcome our pals from Cedar City's Policy Kings Brewing Company to the radio pub. We'll get into the PK's history and of course their new plans to re-locate to SLC. You won't want to miss this episode. We go live at 2pm Fridays on 99.9FM KUAA.

Prodigy - Sole Sisters (Pink Boots): This is an India Pale Lager that is delightfully refreshing with the perfect balance of hops coming from the 2024 Pink Boots Hop Blend! A portion of proceeds from sales will go directly to Pinkboots Utah to support women and non-binary individuals in the brewing industry! 5.0% - Only at Prodigy. 

Shades - Salud: This New Mexican-style lager features lime and sea salt. Subtle flavors of lime, malt & corn. There’s a hint of sodium but it’s more of an afterthought, which keeps this lager from becoming too briny. A pretty descent lime infused mexi-lager that has plenty of balance between fruit & the base beer.

Ogden Beer/Vernal Brewing - Helles is Better With Friends: Missed this lager. 5.0% Available at Ogden Beer and Vernal Brewing.

RoHa - Moon Flower San Diego Pale Ale: Brewed for American Craft Beer Week this “San Diego Pale Ale has a dank ‘n weedy aroma that’s full of melon citrus & herbs. Taste is the same except with more chewiness from the amount of hops present. I like RoHa’s new dank & weedy hop philosophy. Mikey Likey. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.

RoHa - Shoreline Hazy IPA: Also, brewed for American Craft Beer Week, this beer debuts today and is a much more balanced a fruity session IPA. Citrus and berries mostly with some herbals hops too. Little bitterness, compared to the above mentioned pale ale. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.

Offset - EXP Tangier: Word on the street is that there was less than 500 lbs of this new Tangier hops harvested this year. Offset managed to talk their way into 11 lbs of it which wasn't quite enough to do a completely single hop Pale Ale, but almost. The Tangier was blended with a bit of High Oil Cascade, Anchovy, with a dry hop consisting of mostly Tangier with a touch of Centennial. 5.0% - Available now at Offset.

Proper - Yasuke: Missed this Dark Rice Lager. 5.0% - Available now at Proper Brewing. 

Level Crossing - Sun Slope Sour IPA: Made by brewer Paige Lewis. Sun Slope Sour is offered on nitro and has aromas of tart pineapple, ripe peach, red berries and cannabis. The acidity from the Philly Sour yeast is apparent, yet restrained, giving way to a medium hop bitterness with a pleasant tart and juicy tropical fruit finish. 5.0% - Available at both level Crossing locations. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake. The mission of FRIENDS is to preserve and protect the Great Salt Lake ecosystem and to increase public awareness and appreciation of the Lake through education, research, advocacy and the arts.

Do you love a nice Gueuze, Wild Ale or Spon Beer? Then I highly recommend visiting The Bayou soon.... very soon. That's basically all I'm allowed to say. I think you'll be happy.

Saturday Beer Bar Celebrates 10 damn years! The pub opens at 4pm Saturday with a full kitchen, 10 DJs, a ton of beer and a special surprise from 8 -11pm. 

Cheers!
