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.

Pour is a dark but clear brown with a large white head. Aroma is dark malt with a little dark fruit and some metal. Flavor is more chewy malt with some dark fruit like plums. Leaves a sweet caramel on the tongue after the swallow. This was a o.k. dopplebock. Decent rich malt with a nice dark fruit flavor.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is some green hop and wheat malt. Flavor is a wheat malt with some type of bittering hop. Nothing is here to entice you to want to drink more of this. Bland city.
