As
I'm coming of a week of doctor ordered sobriety, I haven't had a chance
to try many of this week's beers. That sucks because there is a shload
of beers out there. The plus side? It should make for a great weekend.
We have a full plate, so let's get to it!
Proper Idaho Pale Ale - Brewed with pale and Munich malts grown and malted in Idaho, as well as
a brand new varietal Idaho 7 hops, this ale truly does justice to our
northern neighbors. It's a perfect pale ale with notes of stone fruit
and citrus over a crackery malt base. 4.0% ABV @ProperBrewing
Uinta Bourbon Barrel Stout - A barrel blended American Stout fusing notes of roasted coffee and cacao
nibs with an earthy bitterness provided by Willamette and Chinook hops
that balance the finish.7.0% ABV
Uinta Croggy Brett Saison - This beer is described as being brewed with a hefty dose of mosaic hops, un-malted wheat,
and rolled oats. Croggy possesses a tropical fruit character and snappy
aroma that partners perfectly with the crisp, dry tartness of the
Brettanomyces yeast. Available tomorrow at the Uintabrewpub and
shipping out to Uinta's distribution footprint soon!
Talisman Session IPA - There's
a very small batch of this new session IPA dry hopped with Mosaic
available in the beer store for growler fills only until it runs out!
4.0% ABV @Talisman
Talisman Nut Brown
- This beer was released yesterday under Talisman's seasonal label.
Double check before buying as their Blood Orange is also still for sale
under the same label. 4.0% ABV @Talisman
Samuel Adams Nitro White Ale - This beer is described as being white capped and lively – the frothy white head of this distinctive
nitro brew softly cascades into bright gold. The first sip reveals a
smooth velvety taste with a light wheat character and hints of orange
while an undercurrent of peppery spice adds a bright finish. 5.5% ABV @DABC,
Lagunitas 12th of Never - This isn't exactly new - it's a blend of Old and New School hops that play bright citrus, rich
coconut, and papaya-esque flavors, all on a solid stage of English
puffed wheat. Tropically hoppy. Light, yet full-bodied. Bright and
citrusy. The 12th of Never Ale is everything we’ve learned about making
hop-forward beer expressed in a moderate voice. Pale, cold, slightly
alcoholic and bitter. 5.5% ABV @ DABC, Beer Bar, Bayou
Anderson Valley Barney Dry Stout - This a a new version of Anderson Valley's classic Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout. This one dials-in at 4.0%. Tastes of freshly
baked bread, espresso, and dried cherries meld seamlessly with rich
toffee flavors and a creamy mouth feel. Beer Bar has this on draft right
now and it's popping up in some grocery stores as we speak.
Payette Blood Orange Rustler IPA
- haven't tried this one yet, hopefully this afternoon! Described as
having pithy orange flavors with some vague floral hops in the end. 6.2%
ABV @Bayou
Sockeye Fred's Raging Red - Not tried this one. This lager is described as having aromas of caramel malts, some hops - taste is like a red IPA, or
red hoppy pilsner. A nice blend of hops and sweet caramel
malts.6.5% ABV @Bayou
Crabbie's Ginger Beer - Not tried this one yet. 4.8% ABV @Bayou
We'll try to get a little more in depth with some of these this afternoon with Mick and Allen on KBER 101 at 3:30pm. Please tune in.
Cheers!

I really like Crabbie's Ginger Beer. It has a nice level of spice. I don't get it too often in Utah because it is pretty expensive here. But, I guess that's the name of the game.
There's a rumor that St George is getting it's first brew pub:

This passed by the way!
@ RMan, I heard the owner of Strap Tank Brewing was looking at St. George for another location. It might be them.
