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.

Can from HomeBrewStuff. Faint aroma of apricots, weak body not even reminiscent of a hefeweizen. Average fruit beer, and not that fruity at that.

6100th rating. Bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a cloudy copper with small off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is cherry skin, funk, oak. Thin mouth, tart cherry, oak tannins, easy to drink, light acidity, nice sour.

$2.50 six pack at Discount Liquor. Filtered yellow-orange body. Frothy thin white head. Not really that enjoyable. Kind of has a cheap red apple thing going on, thin golden malts?. The hybrid doesn’t work out here.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color, near black, small head. A bit of dark caramel, a bit of dust, light residual sweetness, maybe a hint of lactose and dark chocolate, and not enough character.
Not bad, but shallow.

On Tap another cloudy pale yellow beer from Wasatch. Big fluffy white head. Nice fresh juicy citrusy hop aroma. More mainstream piney bitter flavor. Light bodied and refreshing.
