Description
As of 5/24/25 Wasatch Brewery beers will no longer be brewed in Utah. They will be brewed in the Monster Brewing network.
“Where’s the beer? Where are the breweries?” Those were among the first thoughts Greg Schirf had after moving to Utah from Milwaukee in the early 80’s. Incredibly, drinking and brewing were all but forbidden. Greg took matters into his own hands and did what any self-respecting midwesterner would do: He started a brewery. Wasatch was the very first brewery in Utah – and one of the first craft brewers in all of the U.S. – brewing award-winning brews since 1986.
In 1988, Greg Schirf proposed another bill to the Utah Legislature making brewpubs legal in Utah and opened the first brewpub at the top of historic Main Street in the resort town of Park City. Wasatch continues to misbehave, turning out naughty beer after naughty beer year after year.

Keg at MKE Burger Appleton, 6/10/19. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of apricot and wheat. Reminds me of a flavored oatmeal. Taste is wheat, apricot, plum, spice. Medium bodied, juicy. Solid.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 6/7/19. I like the name. It seems like a yeah, fuck you but for economic reasons we'll join this dumbass trend but we won't be happy about it name. It's a very derp name. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of pale malt, earth, citrus. Taste is pale malt, pineapple, citrus. Medium bodied, joosy. Solid beer. STILL fucking love the name. Also, fuck you. Fuck. Derp.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Big blueberry forward nose with nothing much else. Sweet and artificial blueberry flavors...a bit thin on the palate. Lingering vanilla and blueberry. Not for me. --- Beer merged from original tick of Blueberry Hefeweizen on 20 Apr 2019 at 08:15 - Score: 6
