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.

Bottle: Red-amber with a short, beige head. Peppery caramel scent. Taste is breadheel, caramel, salt, slightly vegetal. Not bad at first, but the green bean aspect gets stronger as it warms. A little odd.

Bottle: Pours pale yellow, cloudy, with a small white head. Aroma is lemon...citrus. Taste is grapefruit/lemon peel...dry biscuit. Very crisp and bright...like a hoppy Belgian White. No sweetness...just a focused, sharp citrus. Liked it.
