Offset - Glossier: (from Offset) Featuring Citra T90, Garston Motueka, Citra Liquid Lupulin, Nelson Subzero Hop Kief, Galaxy. This super saturated Double IPA version of our house 6.5% Citra focused IPA, Glossy. We took everything about Glossy and turned it way up. Double the hopping rate in both the kettle and dry hop with total hop load closing in on 9lbs/bbl of the choicest Citra, Galaxy, and Nelson in multiple formats. This is the first batch of beer we've used Liquid Lupulin Citra. A new concentrated hop product specifically for dry hopping that lets us add more hop flavor and aroma without adding more green, vegetal matter to the beer. We also used some Kohia Nelson Subzero Hop Kief in this which is extracted from a blend of Nelson Sauvin and dried Passionfruit. Combine this all with a third, short and cold, dry hop of some choice Early Harvest Galaxy and you've got an incredibly expressive double IPA that explodes with all sorts of Tropical and citrus character. Available today for on site and To Go 8.0% 

Cheers!

New Beer Friday 7/3/26

I was going to have aa Independence Day themed meme today, but when the social media gods dump an image like this in your lap, well.... ya gotta pluck that low hanging fruit. Happy New Beer Friday and have a safe Independence Day. 

As it's tough to book guests on holiday weekends Steph and Mikey will see you all next week on Beer Nerd Radio.

Offset Bier - Silver Dagger: This "New World Lager" is soo enjoyable. Crispy, clean… may I say, “snappy”? Whoa! I think I tend to nerd “too hard” on light lagers. I think I’m absolutely justified in my “hard nerding” now. Lemon grass with Nobel hops crossed with bitter parsley. Love this.4.5% - Available at Offset. Found at The Bayou and Slackwater.

Offset - Spagett: "Spaghett" is a popular, budget-friendly beer cocktail that mixes a light American lager with Aperol and citrus (Silver Dagger I believe). For the first time Offset has packaged it a limited number of clear 12oz bottles so they could serve Spaghetts at the tap room. Presently this is only available in cans to go and on site in Spaghett form. 4.5% - Only at offset.

Offset Bier - Thiols, Terps, & Love: This new edition of Offset's NZ XPA is the third batch of this beer. The name comes from the annual crop report provided by New Zealand's Freestyle Hops. It features Southern Cross, NZ Cascade, Riwaka, Nelson, & Motueka. A heavy hitting cast that delivers explosive flavor and aroma but in a drier, slightly lower ABV package than Offset's typical High Point IPA. 6.0% - Available at Offset.

Offset Bier - NZH109: This new Single Hop Pale Ale is the third experimental hop. It's very aromatic with maybe more stone fruit than you'd typically expect from any other NZ hop. There's lot of tropical fruit in there as well with very little dank or diesel notes that typically come along from most punchy NZ varieties. Offset was only able to snag a few bags of this so it could bbe a few minutes before you can taste them again. 5.0% - Available at Offset.

Ogden Beer - Mild Friends: Missed this Nitro English Mild. 5.0% - Only at Ogden Beer.

2 Row - Trailhead IPA: This NZ-style DIPA starts with a mostly citrus nose. Tastes def has more citrus with some diesel character - some melon too. Hints of strawberry next with pine resin backing it up. Solid malt backbone here helps it drift into WCIPA territory. West Coast of New Zealand IPA? 8.5% - Available now at 2 Row.

RoHa - Spotted Cat: Brewed as an homage to a Wisconsin pils with a similar name. Nice toasty base. Great mouthfeel as well. Light malt profile with low yeast esters. Somewhat Nobel hop profile makes this super easy to drink. Small batch. Don’t procrastinate! 5.0% - Only at RoHa 

RoHa - Captain Krush: Light stonefruit, on the edge of apricot. Citrus backs it up. Pretty even keeled hop-wise. The finish leans towards the citrus side. 5.0% - Only at RoHa 

Silver Reef - Pie And Beer Day: This is the first of many Pie and Beer Day offerings to come out this month. This version is a Cherry Pie beer. Tart, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet, this is exactly what you need to cool off out here in the desert. The pioneers wish they had this crossing the frontier. What's in your handcart? 5.0% - Now pouring on tap AND available canned in cans at Silver Reef and The Reef Shop

Level Crossing - Cosmic Saunter: A new batch is out today. This time along with usual hop bill of Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy and Citra Cryo hops, the brew team added some Krush for good measure. 8.0% - Fresh at Level Crossing today.

In Other Beer News: 

Grid City / Drunken Kitchen trades in it's Bar License for a Restaurant License. So If you're just looking for a pint from now on, you're gunna have to jump through that "intend to order food bullshit".

That being said, Talisman Brewing basically took that Bar License and made it their own, as our pals in Ogden are now a full bar instead of a tavern. Congrats to them.   

Cosmica in SLC also moved away from a Restaurant License to embrace the Bar License. So, no more kiddos there. 

The reports of Strap Tank Brewing's demise were apparently greatly exaggerated. No new info as of yet but they're still brewing beer and are expected to re-open soon. 

Cheers!

Beer Nerd Radio sets the Wayback machine 3000 years as the Radio Pub takes a journey with Dylan McDonnell. A special batch of Dylan's Homebrew went viral recently as he recreated a 3,000-year-old Egyptian beer by combining ancient yeast with traditional ingredients. Join Mikey and Jamie Aslett this afternoon at 2pm as we get familiar with McDollell's  "Sinai Sour "  on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAFM.org/ 

Offset - Need To Know Basis #2: Offset's "you figure out what this is beer" is back for round 2. I've not tried it yet, if you've tried this mystery "hopp ale" please share your thoughts. Love this concept! 5.0% - Available at Offset Bier.  

Bewilder - French IPA: This new IPA has a delicate nose of red berries, rose, geranium, sweet hay, and a very interesting woody/cedar note that really adds to the complexity. A very unique hop expression, and a very crisp and refreshing beer. 6.5% - available at Bewilder.

Wolfdog - One Star Bummer: Missed this new Mexican lager. 4.8% - Available now at Wolf Dog.  

Rabbit's Foot - Metl Blonde: Metl is the Aztec word for agave. Missed this agave blonde ale. 5.0% - Available at Rabbit's Foot Brewing. 

RoHa - Schoolhouse Krush: Slight stone fruit aroma. Translates the same into the palate with the addition of citrus peel. Some mango flavors work in too. On the dry-side, but it has super drinkability. 5.0% - Available at RoHa.

Fisher - Hopnado: Not sure what’s in here, rye for sure with some Citra & maybe some Chinook? Dunno, but this drinks really well. WCPA? you tell me. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.

Desert Edge - King Biscuit Sour Hour: This is a beautiful pomegranate and prickly pear sour. A nice sour front that quickly makes its way to fruity sweetness with notes of watermelon, prickly pear, lemon, lime and a hint of apricot. 5.0% - Now at Desert Edge.

Proper - Spruce Moose: Brewed with fresh spruce tips, Spruce Moose is a bright, crisp ale with subtle notes of citrus, evergreen, and the unmistakable taste of mountain air in a pint. 5.0% - Available at Proper.

Uinta - Mountain Lager: No real aroma. Super clean. Taste is subtle but not a typical American lager. Some familiar hops, maybe Cascade or Amarillo 🤷 Drinks really light & clean. Like the extra hint of Fruity hops. 5.0% - Available at Uinta.

Uinta - Red, White and Brew: This Amber lager is wonderfully toasty with just the right amount of malt sweetness. Hops are in excellent nobel balance. Kinda reminds me of Uinta’s Gelandé from decades ago. Miss that beer. 5.0% - Available at Uinta.

Uinta -  ICE Breaker: New on the R&D. This Mexican Cerveza starts sweet and grainy. Lots of pilsner malt with a good dose of flaked corn? Solid lager with more body than expected for this style. 5.0%  - Available at Uinta.

Cheers!
