New Brews Soon for You: Vernal and RPM

In this edition of New Brews Soon for You, we have three previews of coming brews. The first beer comes to us from Vernal Brewing Company. Their Bock Lager is pretty self explanatory. Bocks are the traditional Lenten beer, used by monastic monks to get them through their forty days of fasting during Lent. I imagine this high caloric malty lager will arrive sometime then. It will have an ABV of 7.0%. Yum!

Next we have two new canned offering from RPM Brewing. Both of these beers are currently available at the Garage in Draper (RPM's brewpub). The Salt Flats Hefeweizen will be a bready, yeast driven 4% beer that will appeal to those looking to stimulate their palates while keeping that clean German beer feel.

Along with the Hefe, RPM will also be bring you their Top Gear Amber Ale. This will be a hop forward American Amber that will have IBUs that pop into the 80s. This beer is also available to try at the Garage.  

All three of these caned beers will likely hit the market in the first quarter of 2018. Stay close for their official releases.

Cheers!

More New Beers Are Coming

Not to be outdone, there are a couple more breweries with new suds on the horizon to make your tongues squeal with excitement.

First off: we have this new American Pale Ale coming from Epic. The RiNo APA is Epic's latest pale ale in their portfolio. The term RiNo (River North) pays homage to the bustling neighborhood that Epic's Denver brewery calls home. Epic was one of the first businesses to take a chance on this old industrial part of town, it's now one of the hottest districts in Denver. RiNo APA is described as a "juicy' pale ale that will come in around 5.8% ABV. This beer will take over from the discontinued Element 29 Pale Ale that left us too soon. More info to come.

Another new to beer (coming to store shelves that is) is RPM Brewing Company's P1 Pilsner. The P1 name comes from the racing acronym for being first - pole position qualifier or race finisher - designated as P1. Like its namesake this beer goes down fast and utilizes premium fuels. You can catch a taste of the P1 right now at The Garage Grill (RPM's restaurant) located at 1122 e. Draper Parkway, Draper. As soon as their cans hit store shelves I'll fill you in. Look for more RPM cans in the near future.

Prost!

RPM Brewing Company

If you live in the south end of  Salt Lake County you may have noticed a new restaurant located in Draper called the Garage - Not to be confused with the bar with the same name located on Beck Street in SLC. This new eatery is owned by the Equiwest Hospitality Group and will begin operating a nano-brewery at the Garage in the coming months.

Not only will there be a nano-brewpub but there will also be a production brewery that will be located in Salt Lake City. The nano operation is ready to begin brewing with a projected weekly production of 6 bbls. The Production facility will be in an 11,000 square foot facility to produce only kegged beers (for now) with a projected initial delivery of 5,000 bbl/year with a good portion to be consumed by the restaurant group.
  
Remember, the Garage is open right now, it's located at 1122 e. Draper Parkway in Draper. They are current pouring beers on their house tap handles made by Moab Brewing - until they've hired their head brewer. Think you're up to the job? Then here's the info on that position. There are also taps, bottles and cans from other local and national breweries being served right now.

As more details come in regarding the nano and production brewery, I'll fill you in. I love it when I can add another new brewery to the Utah list.

Cheers!
