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.

0.355l can. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit, flowers and grass. Pours clear dark brown color with thin quickly diminishing tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet toasted malt and caramel, following is dried fruity and earthy, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic, while finish is average grassy bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Big devastation…

0.355 l can from 'Beer Republic', canned in September 2024. Almost clear, ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, dark honey and some raisins. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity taste of caramel, nuts, dark honey, some raisins and traces of chocolate, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally dry finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very decent Bock, not overly complex but quite pleasant and easy to drink.
