New Beer Friday 3/21/25

If you've never seen Duck Dodgers in the 24th and ½ Century, you have homework this weekend. I promise it'll be worth it. If you've never tried any of these New Beer Friday suds, you have homework as well. In some cases you can do both assignments at the same time. 

Beer Nerd Radio reaches back into the wayback machine to visit a land before time. 2023 it was a far more innocent age - we were oblivious.... meh, never mind. Today we present a Best of Show from the radio pub. Steph and I hope you'll check it out. 

And while I have you: fans of Beer Nerd Radio have noticed that our option to stream past episodes is gone. Station management is working on it. It's a casualty of our growth as KUAA modifies our website. We hope it will be back soon. I have approximately 88% of the episodes saved and I'm working to get them to you all in podcast form soon. It's a lot of work, but we're working on it. Thanks for continuing to tune in. -Mikey  

Uinta - Ryan Murphy's Irish Stout: Named for Ryan Murphy, head of Uinta’s R&D and creator of this beer. Roasty aroma. Nice roasty taste too. Not far into ash or char territory, but just enough. Finish has some slight char, finishes clean. I don’t think this it a true nitro pour. More like low gas co2. 5.0% - Only at Uinta.

Proper - Blarney Stone: Nice roasty stout. It comes across as an amped-up version of a traditional Irish stout. Slightly charred, with a good dry finish. ABV isn’t too noticeable, would pair well with a peanut butter whiskey…. Because it did. 7.0% - Available now at Proper.

Proper - Juicy Boots (2025 Pink Boots Blend): Possibly my favorite Pink Boots blend IPA so far for 2025. Citrus, peach and melon dominate for the most part. The finish is dry, it that seems to be a part of this hop blend. Nicely floral & slight herbal finish. Give this a shot.

Fisher - Hidden Peak Pale Ale: This pale ale features Cashmere hops. Look for a light bodied, big fruity aromatics and taste with a mild bitter finish to make this beer the perfect crusher after a day on the slopes. A portion of proceeds from this entire batch of beer will benefit the Todd Greenfield memorial scholarship. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.

Salt Flats - English Brown Ale: Nice malt profile, plenty of toasty grains with caramel-like sweetness. The whole package is quite nice. If I had a driver I would have made that a beer back to pair with a Bonneville Bourbon. 5.0% - Available now at salt Flats.

Red Rock Wit and Wisdom: Kicks off with tangerine melon and kiwi that start to unpack as mango and berries creep in and join. Berries and tropical fruit showcase well in the middle as pineapple and tangerines weave in and out of frame and closes like it started. Another winner from Red Rock. 7.0% - Available now at all RR locations.

2 Row Coastal Collision: A malty IPA, straight outta the west coast IPA playbook. Lotsa citrus peel, some pineapple, peach & berries. At 11.1% there’s plenty of heat backing it up. It’s a beastly WC TrIPA. 

Heber Valley - Yōtei: Missed this new Japanese Rice Lager. 5.0% - Available at Heber Valley Brewing.

Talisman - El Guapo Dorado: Missed this "Golden Mexican Lager". 5.0% - Only at Talisman.  

Level Crossing - Fruit Bat (Peach, Mango & Cara Cara Orange): Missed this one yesterday. This is available on nitro and an additional keg with be added to the Co2 tap at the main brewery this weekend. 5.0%
