New Beer Friday 9/30/22

Is sexting confusing you about your one true love? Fear Not! New Beer Friday doesn't care. It's the freaky, weekly, three-way that your multimedia partner will absolutly love.  

Speaking of "freaky" Beer Nerd Radio's, Beer Intern Steph returns with all of her homework completed and ready to help me grill the crew from Utah County's only two breweries, Strap Tank. It all starts today at 2pm on KUAA. 

Shades - K1 (Experimental): This version features Mosaic and Citra instead of the usual Nelson Sauvin hops. 6.5%

Talisman - 2022 Anniversary Ale: This is a French Saison aged in Red Wine Barrels from Stephen Ross Winery in San Luis Obispo, CA. Golden Honey in color with spicy yeast, mildl oak and hints of red wine must. Taste starts malty then drys  from the bBelgian yeast. You get the yeast flavor profile mingled with red wine throughout the pallet. The oak is present, but underlying. Finishes dry and leaves the light lingering spice and the oakiness of the wine barrel. 8.1% - Only at Talisman.

2 Row - Red X: This IIPA features malt that is ironically called Red X. Coincidence? I think not. There's also some pilsner malt here as well. The whole thing comes off quite fruity but not malty sweet. The hop blend is complimentary and keeps this IPA in the tropical realm, but it's those malts that drive this IPA. Right? A malt driven IPA? It's madness. Madness you need to try. 8.0% - Available at 2 Row.

Delirium - Früli Strawberry Beer: This is a Belgian witbier blended with strawberry juice. The fruit compliments the zesty fruitiness of the wheat beer and the result is a natural, soft and refreshing drink. 4.1% - Found at Slackwater.

Pipeworks - One Longer Day: Missed this Daiquiri inspired ale with grapefruit and lime. 6.3% - Found at Slackwater.

Pipeworks - Karate Cats: Missed this IPA with Blood Orange Juice. 7.0% - Found at Slackwater.

Pipeworks - Synchronized Peach: Missed this peach infused NEIPA. 5.7% - Found at Slackwater.

Pipeworks - Summon the Unicorns: Talus hops lend zesty citrus and elegant floral notes while Mosaic hops enchant the nose with mixed berry and sweet fruit aromatics. 6.0% - Found at Slackwater.

Lone Pine - Time And Temp: A light body American lager derived from German Pilsner malt, flaked corn, and Cascade hops. 4.8% - Found at Slackwater.

Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.

The 4th West Oktoberfest will be 21+ this year.  It's held at Mountain West Cidery Saturday October 1 12p- 10p live music from ISMichelle, Gorgeous Gourds, Evan Michaels foods trucks and fun. 

Cheers!

New Beer Friday 9/16/22

It's a beerfest weekend in the SLC. Tomorrow the second Utah Brewers Guild Collaboration Festival takes place downtown on McCarthy Plaza and Bewilder kicks off their week long Oktoberfest Celebration. 

What Makes the Collaboration Festival different from others is that all the beers are original and made specifically for this festival. Many of our local brewers have paired-up to concoct experimental and straightforward beers for your enjoyment. The weather is going to be perfect for this outdoor event. All the specifics can be found here.  

On Beer Nerd Radio today at 2pm we'll be talking with Teri Mumm, Executive Director from the Utah Brewers Guild along with Rob Phillips from the RoHa Brewing Project. We'll fill you in on all of the Collaboration Fest details along with all of the other beer news in Utah. That's today on KUAA 99.9FM.

Level Crossing - Hammer Hand: This is available on Nitro as well. Sometimes breweries forget what the “B” is in ESB. The BITTER in this ale is in full display with a nice malty & nutty back base. The finish isn’t too long but it is full of toasty bread & floral hops. 👍 Nitro is the best version IMO. 

Shades - Paineapple Cocokiller: I thought the nutmeg would be off-putting, but it’s quite mild and actually adds to the fruits and coconut keeping it from being an average tropical cocktail-beer-wannabe. Low lactose levels, but it’s still present. Tasty stuff! 6.5% - At all Shades locations.

Wasatch - Top of Main Series (Witbier): Light and crisp, but still decently rich from the addition of wheat. Flavors follow the nose, predominantly constituting a gentle floral/spice note initially that isn't overpowering or overtly cloying. Upfront it tastes like gentle clove and coriander, maybe even white pepper, before opening up into flavors of sweet ripe bananas, white bread and whipped cream. Ends on more clean, floral, dry flavors of peppery yeast and a little bit of bitter citrus rind. 5.0% - Available at Wasatch/Westside Tavern.

Bewilder - Märzen: 5.6% in cans to go or at the bar.

Bewilder - Festbier: 5.0% in cans to go. And on tap

Bewilder - Hefeweizen: 5.0% on tap

Bewilder - Dark Rauchbier (Schlotfergerla): 5.0% on tap

Bewilder - Wieß Kölsch: 5.0% cask only.

Bewilder's Oktoberfest starts Saturday the 17th and runs through the 25th! Full German menu made fresh in-house and 6 German beers crafted specifically for this event!

Fisher - Hold My Beer, Not My Rights: Aroma of faint citrus, honey, malt, slightly hoppy, mostly orange and pineapple coming through with a typical Fisher Pale Ale aroma. Nothing overpowering or standout. Taste follows the nose with lots of citrus rind and pineapple. Slightly astringent in the middle, a decent hoppy bite, not one I'd consider "juicy" compared to others but on the sweeter IPA side. Finished with a little bready malt to balance it out. 5.0%

Uinta - The American Stout: Missed this one. 8.0% - Available today at Uinta.

Beer Zombies - Zombie Hwhip (Double Blueberry, Double Cherry): This is massively thick. It's like a berry slurry. Tart base that's all berry and cherry. Lactose is at medium/high levels which keeps it from getting too tart. I didn't hate it, but it was just too damn much for me. 8.0% - Exclusive to beer Zombies.

Equilibrium - Photon: It pours a very hazy orange, releasing well-blended notes of apricot, tangerine, peach, mango, and pineapple. It tastes of soft juicy tropical fruits, hop resins, and a hint of biscuit. A smooth rounded bitterness with a touch of dryness. 4.8% - Found at Slackwater. 

Equilibrium - Tomorrow: Citra and Mosaic American Pale Ale ale with a hefty dose of oats designed for a balance of immediate consumption at plans the next day. It pours a very hazy light yellow, releasing well-blended notes of orange juice, pineapple, and fresh cut grass. It tastes soft and tropical with a slight bready note and no trace of astringency. 4.0% - Found at Slackwater.

Denver Beer - Graham Cracker Porter: This has notes of vanilla, smoked cedar, and mulling spices on the nose. A rollercoaster of lush chocolate and fig fruits diving into a semi-dry finish of truffle and cherry. 5.5% - Found at the Bayou.

Mason - Albescent Waves: Hazy double IPA loaded with Cascade, Huell Melon and Halertau Blanc Hops. Notes of white peach, lemongrass with an aroma of grapefruit. 9.0% - Found at Slackwater.

Avery - Island Rascal: Missed this witbier made with passion fruit. 5.4% - Found at Slackwater.

Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.

Cheers!

New Beer Friday 9/9/22

It's an Anniversary New Beer Friday! Both Kiitos and Offset are celebrating their birthdays this weekend with special releases and festivities at their respective locations. Hit their social media for details and please check out the other brilliant beers that are brand new for you this weekend.

Saltfire - A series of Singularities (Mosaic): Every IPA lovers favorite heavy lifting hop (Mosaic) gets the single hop treatment this round. Taste and aroma is textbook Mosaic. Full of citrus peel pine and melon made in the west coast style. One of my favorite Singularities. 7.3% - Available at Saltfire. 

TF Brewing - New Day Pilz: This lager features Cascade & Nelson Savin hops. This combo (to me) takes this pairing to a place where I don't recognize either of them. AND that's what I love about this hop salad. Creating something new from two things I very much love. DAMN tasty. 6.0% - Available in 16 ounce cans starting today.

Offset - Divi Divi: This Double IPA was made to celebrate Offset Bier's first anniversary. They brewed a double version of their favorite modern/tropical L IPA Divi. A kettle full of Simcoe and Citra are followed by a large whirlpool charge of Idaho7 Cryo and HBC586 Cryo in an attempt to maximize survivable compounds. After a cold ferment they added a judicious dual stage dry hop of 2021 and 2022 harvest Nectaron and Galaxy supported by smaller additions of HBC586, Enigma, and Cryo Pop. Intense tropical fruit flavors and aromas combine with a structured bitterness that cleanses the palate and helps to give some semblance of drinkability to such an onslaught of hop character. Divi Divi is a once a year treat. Due to the sizable dry hopping load there isn't a ton of this available so be sure to grab it before it's gone. 8.0% - Only at Offset. 

Kiitos - Anniversary Ale V: It would appear that Utah has its new strongest locally made beer. The previous record holder belonged to 2 Row's Barrel aged Dark Ally (15.1%). For Kiitos' 5th Anniversary the blend masters concocted a 15.5% ABV beast that's comprised of various barrel-aged beers from Kiitos' barrel cellar. This beer debuts tomorrow (9/10) at Kiitos' Anniversary bash.

Kiitos - Barrel-Aged Vanilla Nut Cream Ale: Wow! When they say vanilla and cream, they are not joking. With a hint of whiskey, the perfume is extremely reminiscent of Cool Whip. Also fairly noticeable are toffee and saltwater taffy. The whiskey is more apparent in the flavor, which follows the nose. Taffy, cream, and coconut cream are prominently shown. After a few drinks, the finish loses all of its initial astringency, leaving merely a lovely, relatively long afterglow. The body has a delicate, silky feel and is light and crisp. Despite being listed at 5.0%, alcohol is startlingly minimal given the fragrance and flavor. This beer debuts tomorrow (9/10) at Kiitos' Anniversary bash.

Uinta - Pumpkin Spice And Everything Sour: This R&D batch kinda gives you everything you need to know in the name. Subtle tart lemony base with a sparring amount of pumpkin pie spices. Somehow it all seems to work. 5.0% - An R&D small batch, only at Uinta. 

Proper - Hop vs Hop (Centennial/Strata): This "fresh hop" DIPA drops today at noon.  Classically floral and fruity, with notes of tropical and stone fruit, citrus, a touch of grass, a crackery, biscuity malt, and a delicate caramel sweetness. Flavors of lemon, orange, and grapefruit provide a quick burst of citrus flavor, which is followed by tropical and stone fruit flavors such as peach, apricot, mango, and hints of strawberry, pineapple, and passion fruit are also present. The floral, slightly grassy, slightly resinous pine flavor, crackery biscuity malt, and light caramel sweetness round out the flavor profile. 

Lone Pine - Holy Donut Coffee Cake: This Double Pastry Stout starts with a strong body and a touch of spicing cinnamon, this substantial heavy stout heaps huge flavors of sliced dark chocolate, creamy espresso, powdered cocoa, and silky vanilla atop it. 9.0% - Found at Slackwater.

Lone Pine - Holy Donut Fresh Lemon Glaze: Missed this fruited sour ale. 7.5% - Found at Slackwater.

Lone Pine - Pumkin Party: Missed this pumpkin beer. 4.2% - Found at Slackwater.

Lone Pine - Mist Machine: Missed this NEDIPA. 8.1% - Found at Slackwater.

Ciders 

Eve's - Darling Creek: A tart cider from many tannic and acidic varietals,

hints of cherry, coffee, barnyard and spice makes for a hugely complex complex sipper. 8.0% - Found at Scion Cider Bar.

Eve's - Albee Hill: A single-orchard cider from Eve's own farm, blend of rare heirloom apples, still, dry and wild fermented with notes of stone fruit, beeswax and

wet stone. 7.0% - Found at Scion Cider Bar.

hints of malt, yeast and caramel, some minerals and it's naturally spritzy. 7.0% - Found at Scion Cider Bar.

Liberty bittersweet apples, meant to be drunk young and fresh, wild ferment, some

Fisher - Little Dipper: Smells faintly of biscuit, bread and malt, with a certain graininess coming through as well and the merest hint of citrus and pine.

Finishes with crisp floral smack. 5.0% ABV Available at Fisher.

Fisher - Top Secret Haze: There's a very aromatic nose of citrus peel here, along with light biscuit malt. The hops finish it off with nice citrus and tropical flavors. Very nice! 5.0% Available at Fisher.
