We should start a movement... by "we" I mean "you". I've got enough beer stuff on my plate. Anyway, you're going to find a shload of Irish themed beers and styles this weekend - on top of all the other new stuff.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Beer Nerd radio welcomes back Tanner Lenart, Utah's Liquor Lawyer.

The taste is very similar with a punch of big toffee to start it off. Some fruitiness from the malt and yeast as well. The bourbon from their own barrels is potent, but not overwhelming. You definitely get the whiskey character along with the great tobacco, dates & figs. Mikey Likey. 8.7% - Available at Salt Flats.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">2 Row - Irish Porter</span></b>: Chocolate and char dominate this session Porter. It’s not as round as a stout. This takes on more assertive roasty flavors with some bakers chocolate. I can see it working well either way Irish or yankee whiskeys. 5.0% - Only at 2 Row.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">2 Row - Vienna</span></b>: Caramel malts with toasty crust, mix with floral hops that lean into spicy hop territory.

Vague grapes are all over. They’re enhanced by the base beer but there is some unfermented grape justice flavors that you will love… or not. It's worth checking out. 8.0% - Only at </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Saltfire </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Saltfire - Vanilla Bean and Amburana Stout</span></b>: Spicy wood a cocoa aroma. The Ambruana wood comes off as cinnamon, but there ain’t none here. Cocoa comes in next with light vanilla rounding it out. This is a VERY cool wood aged beer, that seems like a spiced beer. A great education one pint at a time. 5.0% - Only at Saltfire.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - Irish Red</span></b>: This is a collaboration with the Northrop Grumman HomeBrew Club and will be available Saturday. 5.0% - Only at Bewilder. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Chappell - Liquid Lunch</span></b>: Missed this one.

Aromas of berries and wheat. Taste is a bit spicy, with a yeasty, and creamy malt sweetness. Beer then settles into tart light berry flavors, and finishes with a crisp wheat flavor. Drinkability is good, this one is put together pretty well, it's refreshing and not overly berry flavored. 5.0% - Available at Roha - Soon everywhere.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #ffa400;"><b>Salt Lake Brewing - Spank Dank</b></span>: </span>Plenty of citrus in the aroma; matching but not overwhelming the tropical fruit. As in the aroma, the focus is on the citrus while a lighter fruity touch balances the flavor. A bit of the herbal hops break through near the finish. Clean, dry, well carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel. Easy to recommend. 5.0% - Available at SL Brewing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Lumberbeard - Pray For Sun</span></b>: missed this dry hopped Pilsner dosed with Vista, Motueka and Citra hops. 4.9% - Found at Handle Bar. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Returning Irish-styles & Other Favorites</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">TF - Wavy Boi: Available Friday.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Uinta - Jack Rabbit Gin Barrel-aged Saison: Available Now.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Kiitos - Green Glitter Ale: Available now.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Bewilder - Irish lager: Available Saturday. </span></p>

Over the next month or so you will start seeing breweries releasing their individual beer based around the 2024 Pink Boots hop blend. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Pink Boots aims to raise awareness of </span><span style="font-family: arial;">women, LGBTQ and non- binary </span><span style="font-family: arial;">working in the adult beverage industry. Pink Boots also brings opportunities for women interested in the fermentation and distilling industry to network with one another. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">This year's blend consists of </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Ahtanum, El Dorado, HBC 638 and Idaho 7 – it seems to be much more </span><span style="font-family: arial;">fruity and round that last year's more herbal profile.

This is an American interpretation on a Belgian blonde. It has the typical unfiltered blonde appearance with okay head retention. There's a big spiced bubblegum aroma that is nice and assertive. The taste is more subdued and dry. It's not too malt and mostly relies on the hops and yeast. The hops are more citrus peel with some berries that finishes slightly dry. T</span><span style="font-family: arial;">his beer will be served at participating and non participating breweries and brew pubs around the Wasatch Front, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Pink Boots scholarship fund.</span>

Anyway, welcome to the first New Beer Friday of March 2024. There are some excellent options for you to enjoy this weekend - regardless your activity. Stay dry this weekend! </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Beer Nerd Radio is back with a new brewery collaboration episode.

Wow, west coast leaning for sure. Sweet citrus up front that bleeds into peach, coconut and melon. Firm bitterness for sure, but it doesn’t linger too much. The 8.0% abv is pretty well hidden. Tasty stuff! 8.0%</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Uinta-Chile Limón</span></b>: This looks to be a take on Uinta’s Lime Pilsner with addition of salt and chile spices. Nice lime aroma. Lime starts it off with a medium to light amount of scratchy pepper. It’s not too intense, but if you’re not a fan of chile peppers at all, this may be too much for you. 5.0% - Available at Uinta</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Level Crossing - Eternal Pursuit</span></b>: This new barrel-aged Belgian dark strong ale Dark Fruits dominate here. Not in a Holiday or winter warmer fashion, but in bold blend of barrel meets opulence. As expected the flavors are an incredible blend- raisins, toffee, tawny port, dates, caramel, oak, vanilla, leather and semi-hot but balanced alcohol. The port comes through beautifully and serves to really highlight the dark fruit notes of the base beer. Outstanding. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">8.8%</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">- Available at both Level Crossing locations.</span></p>

Aroma is bright papaya, tangerine, guava, and orange zest with lighter notes of grass. Flavor profile is more bright tropical fruits, bringing in notes of papaya, tangerine, guava, mango, and orange. It's ripe and juicy. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">5.0% - Available West Temple Brewery. </span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Fisher - Stairway to 7</span></b>: Another anniversary brew for Fisher's 7th year, features and all Idaho 7 hopped ale. The hop profile generates big flavor and modest bitterness, with significant tropical and summer fruit character, lemongrass and herbal tea. Bitterness is light and the malt profile is fairly transparent with simple pale malt base. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">5.0%</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> - Available at Fisher.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - Depths of Helles</span></b>: Lagered for 7 weeks, this cereal/grainy malt forward Helles throws out toasty crackers and a traditional hop profile, p Is there?

This is a very botanical beer. The raspberry takes a back seat for sure, but the overall esthetic is a light and refreshing floral driven ale. Simple & unrefined. If botanical beers are on your radar. 5.0% - Only at Saltfire.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - Doppelbock</span></b>: This beer was aged on Madeira soaked oak chips and made with Best Malt’s Black Malt. Whoa, the Port is really nice here, tons of dark fig, plum and berries. The malt is quite smooth mostly cocoa and toffee coming through. The end is quite oaky with little hop presence. The 10.0% ABV is well hidden and full-bodied. </span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - Low Hanging Phruit</span></b>: This New Zealand-Style Pils was made with Moutere. Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron hops. Tons of melon in the nose with earthy/dank hops, can’t wait to see where this is going. Oh my, love the stone fruit profile here. It’s hovering above some vague citrus and more melon. It’s well hopped and “tastes expensive”. There’s some strong alternative Pilsner game in our market right now, and lagers like this are a shining example.

There’s just a touch of malt character, but it props everything else up. </span>This is quite good – it’s hard to get a pale ale to feel so full flavored while also finishing light and easy, and this beer bridges that well. 5.0% - Available at SL Brewing.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Red Rock - Pino Pils</span></b>: This smells like lime zest, wheat, light citrus and grassy hops. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I get tequila in this one – which is honestly just fine for me. There’s some really light earthiness but it’s mostly lime, citrus, soft breadiness, and a touch of grassy bitterness.

It was good week.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Due to the positive response to the Hazy IPA show, Beer Nerd Radio continue to ride the wave as we hit the West Coast IPA trail. The most important hour of your beer life begins today at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. <br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - Hopless Romantic</span></b>: This Belgian Saison features no hops and is instead bittered/enhanced with Hibiscus and Rose hips - then aged in Beehive Gin Barrels. The hibiscus adds a slight tartness and the rose hips are restrained - which keeps the beer from becoming too flowery. The gin barrel isn't too noticeable, until it warms a bit then it starts to shine with some woody/ juniper flavors. Very Nice stuff. 7.2% - Only at Bewilder.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - Foeder Circus Series (Rose Petals, Hibiscus and Chamomile)</span></b>: W</span>hoa! Much more fruity than I anticipated. This is simple and complex. I think the camomile gives this a lot of depth and it adds a lot of field fruit flavors. I know that sounds a bit vague, but this is very different from anything I’ve had from TF before. The foeder aged sour base is represented, but not overdone. Very nice. 7.5% - Available at TF.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - Spelt Lager:</span></b> There are some who think this should have been named, “He who spelt it dealt it”. For the record I agree. For now it is what it is. This new lager has the typical TF charms with more cereal grain flavors - Think Chex Mix or similar flavors. Hops are traditional with herbal and floral notes. And interesting take on a spelt beer. 5.0% </span><span style="font-family: arial;">- Available at TF.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Offset - Anchovy</span></b>: This new single hop pale ale features a new hop called Anchovy. A very small amount of it is grown. W</span>ow, what a crazy hop. It’s peach and melon up front then this vague berry thing starts happening towards the back. Nicely complex but not overwhelming. American hops have come a long way in the past 10 years. Beers like this are fun to drink. Mikey Likey. 5.0% - Available at Offset - Found at the Bayou.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Salt Flats - Millennial Centenial</span></b>: This new take on the steamer features a pilsner malt bill with the addition of Anchor Steam yeast and Centennial hop hash. The result is a familiar pilsner flavor with a much more fruity yeast profile. The hop hash adds some citrus and floral notes that finish on the chewy/hoppy side. Quite tasty. 5.0% - Available at all Salt Flats locations.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - Coffee Porter</span></b>: Missed this one, it debuts today. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Cheers!</span></p></div></div>Mikeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855596555082342486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-6514015513142131012024-02-09T06:14:00.005-07:002024-02-09T06:14:42.494-07:00New Beer Friday 2/9/24<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEOFHP2zJ9qRDEAFsCV0LMGyZJkac-5mt29pFfLbzgHy8jBk6557o4eFGl_eJCPowsuhx3VyCm4EwNGayflFK2wFiKVJUxLZ1EQH-4IduOM6zk3EeBrusgZUJDPJi_irIYJJoVzChBQ5shQNoc8i5QPT-lMbYxzfgvriaFvVa2YpFgmenSxQSD/s1024/NBF%200209.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="726" height="569" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEOFHP2zJ9qRDEAFsCV0LMGyZJkac-5mt29pFfLbzgHy8jBk6557o4eFGl_eJCPowsuhx3VyCm4EwNGayflFK2wFiKVJUxLZ1EQH-4IduOM6zk3EeBrusgZUJDPJi_irIYJJoVzChBQ5shQNoc8i5QPT-lMbYxzfgvriaFvVa2YpFgmenSxQSD/w404-h569/NBF%200209.png" width="404" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Happy New Beer Friday!</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">This week on Beer Nerd Radio, we nerd hard on Ciders with Marcio Buffalo and Rio Connelly.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">So much new stuff coming our way.

Allen Handy and Libby Taylor join Steph and Mikey on the most important hour of beer in your life Fridays at 2pm on 99.9FM KUAA. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Offset - NZH-105</span></b>: This New Zealand style pale ale features experimental hop NZH-105. Big tropical flavors that turn into stone fruit. Some earthy notes as well. The hops work quite well with the malt bill creating a hugely drinkable pale ale. 5.0% </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - Brewers Select (Stage Left IPA)</span></b>: </span>Big hop aroma, very aromatic and weedy. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Taste follows but much more intense with dank citrusy hops and more weed. Citrus tries to pop-in, but this WCIPA is so heavily hopped, subtly is out the door. I love this chewy, dank som' bits.

Maroon brown in color. Lots of Citra and grassy aromas, roasted malts and chocolate on the nose. Roasted flavors, citrus notes and grassy hops up front. A big aftertaste of grassy hops, citrus flavors, some chocolate and some onion on the back of the palate. A good dose of bitterness as well. Really nice. This is a really good brew.

How's your Dryuary going? Mine is much better since implementing "Moistuary". If you're ready to to get back in the game, there's a nice selection of beers this week, on top of all of the other new stuff you missed out on in the previous weeks. Welcome back!</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">On Beer Nerd Radio today we welcome Nicci Lyman from Firestone Walker to talk about FWs history in Utah and what's coming next. Also on today's show, Kelsey Boothe will be on to talk about the Homebrewtah Utah's newest home brew competition. Look for us (Steph too), today at 2pm on 99.9FM KUAA.<br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Hopkins - Spidey Senses Red IPA</span></b>: </span>Toasty berries and pine from the nose. Tastes malty with more berries, then pine & citrus pop-in, providing a good amount of lingering bitterness. Solid red ale with big IBUs. 5.0% - Only available at Hopkins.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Red Rock - Forbidden Fruit (POG)</span></b>: Passion fruit, orange and Guava is what you'll find in this new sour ale. This is only available in Harmons Grocery stores. I went to the pub downtown and there's none to be had. 5.0%. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bohemian - California Steam Lager</span></b>: Wow. A very traditional take on the style. Excellent malt profile, slightly nutty and toasty with floral and pine backing it up. This might be my favorite Steam beer AND it’s fresh. 5.0% - Available at BoHo.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Shades - Hellion</span></b>: You can tell its yeast driven by the amount of of clove here. Though yeast dominates, you do get some honey flavors from the malt. Hops are light and mostly floral. It’s a little more phenolic than I like but it’s a solid interpretation on the style. 5.0% - Available at Shades.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Wasatch/Squatters - Tuxedo Trixter</span></b>: </span>First of all, great coffee taste and aroma. Made with local Rimini coffee. Cream ale body with a nice malt profile. Coffee pretty much runs the show from here to the finish. Coffee Cream/White Stout, it all seems the same, but this is really special. Yum! 7.0% - Available at 3pm today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Salt Lake Brewing - Sundance the Kid</span></b>: </span>This orange/vanilla cream ale (on nitro), is a good mix of the malty base beer, fruit & vanilla. It’s not sweet by any means; light vanilla, light citrus & malt. It might be too subtle for some, I found it perfect for the nerd not wanting a milkshake ale. 5.0% - Only at SL Brewing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Returning Favorite</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Level Crossing - The Black Album</span></b>: This is part of Level Crossing's Black Feather Series. This is a black imperial rye IPA. The aroma is hugely dank, herbal and grainy with dense, bready malts. Flavor profile is less sticky, and a little more bold in regards to the malts – there's a good dose of roast and char swirling around throughout. Dank, herbal, floral, zesty hops open up playing off of the bready, nutty, roastier malts flavors. The bitterness is medium to high and pretty much rules the beer from the back-end to the finish. Overall: a great BIPA, with a big hop profile. 9.2% </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Here are this week's Small Batch Beers fro Hopkins Brewing</b>.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE4EW98W4o5cysRbTcWUhzEJ8F55mtX2wRzo1VSx3M3gHt-VK0tBGRM9fSCkaSGe4BCDtllcYO62i8arZSQ4jiYOOOLvlhbzuPAcy1Wqkf4m3udUKWqD5Oz6zMQ2w84QBcdbB18HXp7vU3rEXVbd1p06CuILbNpjd9LuA5Z2RQkMLPdY1BYNr/s2000/Small%20Batch%20Beers(13).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzE4EW98W4o5cysRbTcWUhzEJ8F55mtX2wRzo1VSx3M3gHt-VK0tBGRM9fSCkaSGe4BCDtllcYO62i8arZSQ4jiYOOOLvlhbzuPAcy1Wqkf4m3udUKWqD5Oz6zMQ2w84QBcdbB18HXp7vU3rEXVbd1p06CuILbNpjd9LuA5Z2RQkMLPdY1BYNr/w423-h548/Small%20Batch%20Beers(13).png" width="423" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Cheers!</span><p></p></div></div>Mikeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855596555082342486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-88256106373383022052024-01-19T05:10:00.002-07:002024-01-19T05:27:56.201-07:00New Beer Friday 1/19/24<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhReSeTCNYNEP40J4nP5urnXqbJqzCZzJtuddyaCEKKeJf7oS4GdSRXyqt_HT4NuxVndtC2gjpNVaDIUzqw9z0sgOva3BSFXhZ-Cneqd-MrTTGrTqw2DCAeIB-11y05YYH5Pzb1g6r2qK9pNTb-CygurMytEs716o3N1FywpLNOv7wPQkf6pKW/s1284/NBF0119.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1274" data-original-width="1284" height="507" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhReSeTCNYNEP40J4nP5urnXqbJqzCZzJtuddyaCEKKeJf7oS4GdSRXyqt_HT4NuxVndtC2gjpNVaDIUzqw9z0sgOva3BSFXhZ-Cneqd-MrTTGrTqw2DCAeIB-11y05YYH5Pzb1g6r2qK9pNTb-CygurMytEs716o3N1FywpLNOv7wPQkf6pKW/w510-h507/NBF0119.png" width="510" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Some may question your tastes in things.

The rye really pops. Nice overall grain sweetness and spice. Don't get much in the way of orange peel, but the yeast is tame and not too phenolic. It's fairly true to style - less the rye. It's worth your time. 5.0% - A small batch available only at Uinta. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Shades - Blueberry Coffee Cake Sour Ale</span></b>: There's no coffee in coffee cake, so I was a bit surprised to get a nice dose of coffee. The base beer is Shades' tart Kveik ale with equal parts medium roast coffee and blueberry. It tastes fine, I just don't know if the tartness and coffee work well together. 6.5% - Available at Shades today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Wasatch - Rice Crispy</span></b>: The name for this new rice lager is spot-on! There's a dense head on this clear lager, you can tell by the shadow it casts in the liquid. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Very little aroma. Fairly dry, but there's still plenty of malt/rice sweetness. I'd never complain about too much malt in this style but it doesn't seem dry enough. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">5.0% - Only at Wasatch/Squatters.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Heber Valley - Fixed Grip Pale Ale</span></b>: Missed this new pale ale. 5.0% Only at Heber Valley.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Policy Kings - Predators and Kings</span></b>: This new amber lager features n</span>otes of caramel, chocolate or nuttiness. Low citrus hops. Low to moderate fruity esters. 5.0% - Only at Policy Kings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Mason - Bangarang!</span></b>: This Citra Hazy is super creamy. You can tell it's DDH. Citra explodes - and is fairly (hop) chewy. It's all Citra happening here. A good amount of malt sweetness, some "extra" sweetness as well. If you like creamy orange IPAs, you'll love this. 9.5% - Found at Slackwater. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Mason - Even An Immortal</span></b>: Apparently this IPA has traditionally dialed in at 10%. No longer. This beer is now 8.8%. Thank Thor! This was quite tasty, the Mosaic hops provides more depth than my previous Mason beer. Mosaic is a great hop, and it helps build on the Citra's rind character. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">- Found at Slackwater. </span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Roosters</b> is thrilled to announce its first-ever Winter Fest, a celebration of winter flavors through carefully curated craft beers and seasonal meal pairings.

Aroma is citrus, grassy, tropical fruits, piney, and earthy hops. Crisp nose. Flavor profile is tropical fruits, citrus, grassy, herbal, resiny, and earthy hops. Starts with some tropical fruit sweetness and finishes with some sticky resin. Dry finish as the beer warms. Great dynamics; playful. Mouth feel is bordering on crisp, but carries just an expansive enough effervescence to stall out on being fully crisp.

Cheers and have a safe and happy New Year.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Speaking of the New Year, we have a guide to help you find some celebratory beers today on Beer Nerd Radio. Troy Higgins from Park City Brewing and Dani Archuleta from Epic Brewing will help Steph and I find the right beers for you. Look for us today at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Epic - Barrel Aged Imperial Vanilla Porter</span></b>: Pours pretty dark with a tan head that holds a nice lacing. On the nose, big bourbon notes with some vanilla. Taste is a little vanilla up front followed by a moment of strong bourbon notes and finishes with some hop bitterness. Feel is somewhat thin but is to be expected with a porter. Overall, it's pretty nice. 9.0% - On sale today at Epic.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Salt Laker Brewing - Smoked Porter</span></b>: Aroma is charred oak, maplewood and, some caramel malt. The smoke is median to light. The body is a complex mix of maple, smoky charred barrel, and caramel malts, almost like a good smoky barbecue. Interesting and tasty, with a bitter body that brings out the flavor well. 5.0% - Only at SL Brewing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - I Love Juicy</span></b>: This version is made with Cryo-Sultana, Citra & HBC 586.Ccreamy white froth and a billowing bouquet of peach, tropical fruit, melon and citrus. A light cereal sweetness kicks off the taste with notions of honeysuckle, angel food cake and vanilla wafer. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">As those hope open up, the radiant aromas turn fruit to taste with a stone fruit and mandarin orange character and is backed with pink grapefruit and lime. With pineapple, mango, passionfruit and papaya coming in next, the middle palate is rife with fruit cocktail flavor. Trending juicy with honeydew, the late taste comes with a balancing bitterness with hints of juniper, currant, hemp, hay and green tea.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> 8.0% - Available starting today at Bewilder.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Prodigy - Brewed Awakening</span></b>: Missed this new coffee stout brewed with beans from Cafe Ibis. 5.0% - Only at Prodigy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Equilibrium - Einstein's Little Favorite</span></b>: The nose with candied orange and vanilla cream.

All the citrus & melon well done.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Roosters - Smoked Porter</span></b>: I tried to snag some of this at the Layton location, but they don'y have it.

We get started at 2pm today on 99.9fm </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">KUAA.Kiitos - Appleweizen</span></b>: This collaboration with Second Summit Cider is a blend of different apple juices and wheat bier. It's not hugely tart like you might expect. There is some tartness but it pretty subdued. Nor is it heavily tannic, just a nice refresher on a fluff bed of toasted wheat. Great beer. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos and Second Summit Cider on Draft. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Talisman - The Griffin</span></b>: Missed this citrus wheat beer.

A very floral nose with a noticeable acidity and caramel. Deep, deep burnt umber color. Starts with a toasted malt/floral hop flavor with a touch of sweet caramel behind that. Moves into a nice, low-medium bitterness near the end, and this floral hoppiness lingers into the finish as the toasted malt comes back and it all lingers softly. 5.0% - Only at TF starting today on draft and in cans.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Desert Edge - Norsewoman Farmhouse Ale</span></b>: A hazy yellow color with a light white head that descends into itself almost immediately. Slightly funky, with lemon peel and a bit of a twang and perhaps a touch of spice in the finish. Lemony, though with a hint of booze. Slight caramel, as well as some Belgian yeast fruit notes in the finish. Medium light in body, highly carbonated with a soft feel, and a dry finish. 5.0% - Available at Desert Edge. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Park City - Kickturn</span></b>: Missed this new version of this Double Hazy IPA. 8.1% - Only at Park City Brewing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Cheers!</span></p>Mikeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855596555082342486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-2544124529781476612023-12-01T05:08:00.000-07:002023-12-01T05:08:00.661-07:00New Beer Friday 12/01/23<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgyW-1j_NR6inzOh5bg19kW-bWb_Fg4-wFlMMWCkpicEaU0zBDZFi3A3umbPuEx9yKTvckgev-M29inuz14_vcEtoF6K_k1bToQSUZILyesip_3RJPlLdpYT4hYxKlowtsxUpwR8W_Sq_p-OOCUj7vxcYCNiIfjCPZFJPySaDIG4KnjltNo0Vb/s1240/NBF1124.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="817" data-original-width="1240" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgyW-1j_NR6inzOh5bg19kW-bWb_Fg4-wFlMMWCkpicEaU0zBDZFi3A3umbPuEx9yKTvckgev-M29inuz14_vcEtoF6K_k1bToQSUZILyesip_3RJPlLdpYT4hYxKlowtsxUpwR8W_Sq_p-OOCUj7vxcYCNiIfjCPZFJPySaDIG4KnjltNo0Vb/w571-h376/NBF1124.png" width="571" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">We're Back!

There's lots of nutmeg and gingerbread cookies in the taste. Light milk chocolate profile that still reminds you that you are drinking a stout. Medium body with moderate carbonation levels. This is a pretty tasty Christmas theme stout.</p>9.0% - Available at Shades and DABS.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Chappell - Playground 6 (Sabro and 1019)</span></b>: </span>Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a large, cream-colored head of foam. It smells of coconut, citrus, pineapple, caramel and floral notes. Sweet toasted caramel taste with tropical fruitiness and a sharp piney bite. 5.0%</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - 1221 Coffee Stout</span></b>: This is a </span>collaboration with Midway Coffee. This is a black, oily-looking brew with a diminutive tan head. Wonderful toasted grain aromas in the nose. Dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate the palate. Creamy in texture. I look forward to having it again. 7.8%</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Policy Kings - Smokey</span></b>: Missed this Rauchbier made with dark malt and smoked oat malt.

This brings both familiar and unique notes. The distinctive yeast and Juicy Fruit personality are there, along with bright pineapple, lemon/lime, and muddled tropical fruit. But here there are also strong notes of apricot, peach, pear, and musky white grape, with a nice herbal and floral note at the end. There's a little piney resin that lingers throughout, which is wonderful. In keeping with other TF beers, the flavor profile is huge, overwhelming and extremely well layered. 7.0% - Available at TF.</span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - Jesse Delmarish Lebkuchen Cookie</span></b>: Aroma has a slight Jäegermeister thing happening.

The flavor starts rich, big and slightly sweet with dark chocolate, caramel, dark roasted malts next comes black molasses, coffee, oak and some notes of vanilla bourbon with a sticky full body. Finishes slightly dry and warm. 12.0% - Available at Uinta. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Hopkins - Strawberry Zinfandel Sour</span></b>: Zinfandel grapes and strawberry puree are added to our base sour beer fermented naturally with lactobacillus.

It pours a deep burnt orange color with a small off-white head. The aroma is burnt caramel and vanilla with nice smoke. Boy is it smoky when you taste it! It's rich and the caramel from the nose is now toffee with some spiciness from the smoke. It lingers for a bit and there's a mild bitterness throughout. It's all so rich and well balanced, comforting and warming.The mouthfeel is velvety with little carbonation. 4.8% - Available at Offset.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - Moguls and Snorkels</span></b>: This new West Coast Lager was brewed for TF's 5th anniversary party.

This aromas has pithy grapefruit, lemon, biscuity malt, orange zest, and lime. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">This has a really nice juicy hop character to it, while finishing dry and bitter in a nice way. There’s just a touch of malt character, but it props everything else up. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is quite good – it’s hard to get a pale ale to feel so full flavored while also finishing light and easy, and this beer bridges that well. 5.0% - Available at Salt Lake Brewing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Salt Lake Brewing - Grandma's </span></b></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Cookies</span></b>: This amber ale base features all the oats and spices that you'd expect in an oatmeal cookie.

Dosed with El Dorado, Sabro & Sultana. This lager exudes huge amounts of big melon & strawberry that built upon a blast of citrus & herbs. Malt profile is nice & clean with no yeast profile.

Floral & tropical for the most part. Flavor follows with a WCIPA malt profile that blurs into an NEIPA tropical profile. It's right in the middle of the two styles, and I imagine that's what Uinta was shooting for. Nice stuff.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;"><span>Uinta - </span>Huckfleisch</span></b>: </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I think this is Uinta's first Märzen.

This lager features a golden-straw appearance with a light and crisp body full of unique savory and slightly tart notes. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is dry - not like a traditional Japanese lager though. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The koji adds some sweetness for sure & it takes you back to malts-ville in a roundabout kinda way. Co2 is bright & crisp. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Brewed with Pink Boots Hop Blend. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mikey Likey. 5.0% - Only at Hopkins.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - Strata Off The Vine IPA</span></b>: Made with 60 lbs. of fresh from the farm Strata wet hops. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Notes of dank strawberry, passion fruit, Grapefruit & herbal sage. Finish is bitter for sure. Tasty stuff. 5.0% - Available at RoHa.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">RoHa - Hodge Podge Fresh Hop</span></b>: This pale ale is a</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> literal hodge-podge of hops from Copper Moose Farms & many, many backyards from Wasatch Front & Back. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mostly floral & herbal profiles as these are mostly wild hops.

It's moderately bitter, oily with a myriad of complex aromas and flavors;</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> c</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">oconut is undeniably a huge aroma component to this beer.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Flavor-wise it turned out very peachy. So peachy, in fact, that people think there are peaches in it. That peachiness is a fairly unique flavor to garner from a single hop varietal. A very interesting pale ale. 5.0% - Only at Fisher.</span></div><div><b style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Squatters - Broadway Red IPA</span></b><span style="font-family: verdana;">: Missed this one. 5.0% </span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Policy Kings - URMOM.COM</span></b>: This Gose was brewed with coriander, Himalayan pink salt and then prickly pear puree added at fermentation.

A slightly elevated bitterness more akin to a Pils than a Blonde Ale keeps the drinkability high and really cleanses the palate, inviting the next sip. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">4.5% -</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Available at Offset </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Desert Edge - The Haze Between</span></b>: Tart tangerine and lime </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lime give this one a very refreshing finish throughout. The malt is well balanced and not cloying or medicinal. You can pick out all the fruit too if looking for it, but can also just lose yourself in the blend. This was the most tart of the Nectars so far, which is a plus.

Then New Beer Friday is your gateway to escape the your prison of the bland. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On today's Beer Nerd Radio, we do a deep dive into one of the more polarizing beer styles you're likely to come across, pumpkin/spice beers. Steph and I will host a round table of "experts" and we invite you to listen live as we fight, pull haired try to figure out if these field beers are legit or a fad. it starts at 2pm today (Friday) on 99.9fm <a href="https://kuaafm.org" target="_blank">KUAA</a>. </span></p><p style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - Three Sisters</span></b>: This spon beer was fermented via cool ship at the Three Sisters Garden at Blue Sky Ranch, Utah. The lambic-like qualities are gueuze-esque with sweet grainy notes on top of cheesy fruits & dusty/woody sour notes. Finishes w/ hints of rubber. Sour level is medium/high. 6.8% - Available at TF starting today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">TF - New Day Pilz</span></b>: This one primarily driven by Halletau & Saphir with a whole salad of new world hops backing up the band. Basically you’re gunna find a ton of orange, grass, herbs, melon & berries. It’s a lot to take in for a lager, but worth it. 6.0% <span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;">- Available at TF starting today.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Ogden Beer/Fisher - Meanwhile In Ogden</span></b>: Another craft American light lager with actual flavor. Malt bill is solid, full of toasted crackers & whole grain bread. Hops are mostly traditional Euro with hints of citrus from the Saphir and Saaz hops. 5.0% - Brewed at Ogden Beer Co. Available at Fisher as well. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Proper - Daydrinker</span></b>: Dialing in a whopping 2.2% this light American rye is mostly hop driven with some surprising dankness. It very light, don’t get me wrong, but it’s happening. If you need a mid-work beer or something to hydrate you while recreating this is up your zip code. Available at Proper and Proper Moab.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Red Rock - Space Boogie</span></b>: This double IPA features Nectaron, Citra Incognito and Galaxy hops. It's a very good showcase of the Nectaron hops. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The hop combo adds </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">tropical flavors of stone fruit, melon, and slight herbal notes with some orange underneath. Nice berry flavors from the thiolized yeast. Very tasty stuff. 8.2% Available at Red Rock.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Wasatch - Top Of Main Series (Black Lager)</span></b>: Aroma is nutty with light cocoa shavings over a smooth, bready core. Taste is beyond smooth, drinking at first like a line drive moving fast to that signature light roast flavor of carafa. Opens to even more smooth lager malt with nutty, coffee, and cocoa accents but always centered on drinkability. Maybe a smidge of caramel but for the most part an excellent black lager. 5.0% - Available at Wasatch Park City and Wasatch/Squatters on 300 w.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">UTOG - Harvest Moon</span></b>: Missed this Harvest pale ale that features a double dry-hopping of Mosaic and El Dorado hops. 5.0% Available at UTOG.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Bewilder - Du Hops Mich</span></b>: There's really no such thing as a German IPA, but if you use German malt, yeast and hops... well, it works. This was made with German Pilsner malt, Kolsch yeast and a salad of Callista, Ariana, Hull Melon hops. The result is an IPA with an aroma of green melon and unripe berry/fruits, almost catty like, with some white grape noted and malt sweetness. Nice West Coast approach with minimal malt sweetness and a slight bitter finish. Pleasant lingering feel. This under Bewilder's Brew Lab label. 7.1% Only at Bewilder.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Uinta - Pickle Gose</span></b>: This has an official name, but nobody could seem to remember it. <span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">🤷♂️</span> Nice & briny, good dill weed flavor too. I get cucumber as well in the finish. A little Tabasco & it’d be perfect. If you like these, you’ll enjoy this. If not, stay clear. 5.0% - small batch, only at Uinta.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheers!</span></p>Mikeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855596555082342486noreply@blogger.com0
