New Beer Friday 7/12/24

The perfect beer pairing for this week may be Air Conditioning! Basically everything I tried on my  New Beer Friday research day were excellent warm weather beers. Take advantage of them and along with some water or iced tea.

Beer Nerd Radio welcomes two beer missionaries to the radio pub. Elder Timothy Cantwell of Lauter Day Brewers and Elder Dwight Wilson of O-Town Hop Heads, join Steph and Mikey to talk about Homebrew culture in Utah. We're still at 99.9FM KUAA, Fridays at 2pm.  

Uinta - It's Not Buffett: This Piña Colada sour features pineapple & coconut. It’s pretty simple, starts with pineapple that pairs pretty well with the sour base. It’s actually hard to tell where the pineapple starts & the sour beer ends. Coconut wraps it up w balanced sweetness

Fisher - L9 Liquid Courage: This west coast style pale ale packs a big hoppy aromatic nose with a clean, crisp, and moderately bitter finish. The trifecta of Strata, Galaxy, and Citra hops bring this one together. 5.0% - Available at Fisher.

Fisher - Common Hop Pale Ale: This West Coast Pale is hopped with the Nelson Sauvin. Look for notes of berry and melon and a slight bitter finish. 5.0% - Only at Fisher.

Fisher - Premiant Pilsner: Premiant hops add depth to this new Czech Pils. It has an aromatic punch of curry, pepper and jasmine. The palate has a tea-like and citrusy component of lemon and lime in a crushable light bodied lager. 5.0% - Only at Fisher.

Shades - Daaibooi Dunkelweizen: (pronounced: die-boo-ee) is made with Curaçao Orange Peel to produce a dark brown, chocolatey wheat beer with refreshing notes of sweet and bitter orange. The maltiness of this German-Style beer is complimented by just a hint of tropical paradise, which is why it's named after Playa Daaibooi of Curaçao. 5.0%

Salt Lake Brewing _ Hop Head Red: Born in 1997 at Squatters, this red ale has been re-imagined at SL Brewing with Citra and Mosaic hops. The malt bill is slightly toasty a malty. A perfect blend for an American style Red. 5.0% - Available at SL Brewing. 

Wiley Roots Brewing -  Pilsner Italiano: Utz a matta u??? Big spicy/herbal nose with biscuit and toasty malts at first swig. Hops are huge, floral and herbal. Mikey Likey! 5.5% - Found at Handle Bar.

Revision - Chaotic Prince: The body and head retention is tight! Slight tropical aroma. This is damn tasty, so many ratings from my friends are lackluster, to me this is great trop bomb. All the fruits, with Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops that exude notes of tangerine, peach and a hint of pine. Excellent body and just enough bitterness for balance. My pals smoke too much. 😆🍻6.7% - Found at Handle Bar.

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

Cheers!
