New Beer Friday 8/28/26

We here at Utah Beer Croon'n, Warbling and Moaning are proud to be backing up the incomparable Sten Carlsson on his debut album Extrasaltat! To keep our vocals at peak bravado we coat our throats in New Beer Friday suds. This week's offerings are the best yet! Please enjoy. 

In the Radio Pub, Steph and Mikey will be coating their vocal cords with heavenly flavors from Proverbial Spirits in this week's Beer Nerd Radio. Co-owner and flavor magician Steven Currie joins us to walk through the Park City distilleries line up spirits and canned cocktails. 2pm is when we get started on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/ 

Offset - Vert: This is part of Offset's new year round line up. Vert is a West Coast Double IPA is built on a base of classic American hop varieties that deliver flavors of grapefruit, pine, and resin that are easily identifiable and comfortably familiar. Then two newer hop varieties that add more modern flavors of stone fruit, exotic citrus and candied tropical fruit. It's a really unique beer with flavors you'll recognize and ones you've probably never experienced before. 8.0% - Avaiable now in cans at Offset Bier. Soon to hit SLackwater the Bayou and other great beer pubs.

Epic - Sake Barrel Aged Apricot Blonde: Somewhat oaky aroma. Tastes of stonefruit right off. Kinda reminds me of the brainless barrel, aged peach. The apricot isn’t super intense, but it does overwhelm the sake a bit. Very tasty & complex at 5% Would absolutely recommend for Brainless fans. Available now.

Epic - No Big Dill: New pickle beer in SLC! This is just spiced enough. Dill weed drives it, but does have that nice savory component. I would recommend with a couple tobacco dashes or even a lime squeeze if you don’t want the heat. Damn delish!!! 5.0% - Available now.

Uinta - Bla Bla: Not to be confused with Uinta's Baba Black Lager, this toasty pils malt up front. Some minor malt sweetness backing up. The berry is very subtle, really only rearing its head in the finish. Don’t know if I’ll drink a ton of this. But if I was designing this beer, this is how I’da made it. 5.0% - on now at Uinta. 🫡

Also, We Say goodbye to Kiitos Brewing tomorrow 8/29. A victim of greed and exploding real-estate prices, this great brewery was done before it's time. While Kiitos' Sugar House pub will still be a round for a minute You won't see any new Kiitos beer anytime soon. Contract brewing may be an option or a new brewery down the road, who knows, but it's another sad day for Utah Beer Nerds. Kiitos (Thanks you) to Kiitos!

Cheers!

New Beer Friday 8/14/26

We here at Utah Beer Burgers, Dives and Gastro-Cafeterias would like to extend our warmest welcomes to you this weekend as we offer this excellent menu of New Beer Friday beverages. Please hurry before Dee's lawyers shut us down.

Head Wine Maker David MaKieve joins Steph and Mikey as we get into Viticulture and Enology and of course badass Purple Sky Wines! Don't miss out today (Friday) at 2pm on 99.9fm KUAA. KUAAfm.org/

Proper - Laaga: Missed this new Lager from Proper. I'll try to get some info out tomarrow. Keep an eye on my socials. 5.0% - Available now at Proper.

Offset - American Porter: Offset has made London Porter a few times now but this time its got more of an "American" spin. A little more body, a more intense roast profile, and a bit more hop character courtesy of some amazing Cascade hops grown by the lovely ladies at Gooding Farms. Not ashy/astringent, It's incredibly soft and smooth yet brimming with flavor. Let this one warm a bit for maximum enjoyment. 4.8% - Available now at Offset

Offset - Fast Hand: This new West Coast IPA is the centerpiece of Offset's Spaghetti Western themed West Coast IPA series. Fast Hand utilizes the same base of Krush and Chinook, Idaho 7 and Simcoe, with some late harvest Riwaka, and Krush Cryo. Electric grapefruit, crushed red berry, and juicy melon dominate the profile. Elevated bitterness and a dry finish keep everything in check and help to deliver the best West Coast IPA brewed to date. 6.66% - Available now at Offset

Level Crossing - Sun Slope Sour IPA: Big citrus. Not sure what the hops are but the pop with more citrus. I think this is a small batch & it’s only available at Level X-ing’s downtown location. Nice Sour IPA. Very drinkable, to the point you can’t tell it’s an IPA. 5.0% only at Level Crossing downtown SLC Brewpub.

Helper - New Zealand Pilsner: A reinvention of a lager from a few years ago. This NZ Pilsner screams melon flavor. There’s some diesel as well but the focus here is on the melon and herbal hops. Brief notes of vague berry & strawberry as well. It finishes with an herbal hop zap. Wow! 5.0% - Available at Helper Brewing and should be popping up at your better beer bars around SLC.

RoHa - Lab Line (Speed Fly): Small Batch: Simple old school flavors that push raw citrus, pine & toasty grains. The whole combo comes across as “herbed bread loaf“. Would kill this pint with a cold cut sando or movie popcorn. 5.0% - Only at Roha.

Cheers!
