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.

750ml bottle thanks to Chris pours out a hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is light funky notes white wine grapes some citrus spice and barrel. Taste is more of the nice mix of light fruit barrel notes and a touch of spice funk.

Taster at CopenRoss. Clear golden, light head. Blueberries in the aroma and taste, sweet, not overpowering. Not much weizen body, kind of thin.

355ml can. As Squatters Provo Girl Pilsner. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy malt and floral hops. Semi sweet flavour of biscuit malt, lemon and floral with a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, easy drinking and boring.
