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.

A hazed wit with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, smooth lemony malt with banana and cloves, nice and fruity. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light cloves and berries, OK. Bottle at Slice Las Vegas, June 2013.

On draft at 1702 in Tucson AZ. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Jalapeño nose. Quite a kick but smooth underneath the heat.

Tap at the Hey Merchant, Houston, 21/05/13. Mahogony brown with a medium light tan head which retains well. Nose is dark toffee, dark fruit, malty, sugars, light boozey notes. Taste comprises dark toffee, a little booze, dates, raisens, dark malts, toasted brown bread. Full bodied, fine carbonation, sweet boozey finish with a pinch of spice. A good take on the style !

12oz bottle pours with a clear coppery amber body that supports a tan head of foam. The mild aroma offers up some sweet malts, a bit of malt roastiness, faint sweet nuttiness and a sense of sweet fruity esters. The taste starts with a modest degree of roasted malts and then picks up some mild nuttiness and spiced apple. Meh.

Pours hazy pale yellow into a shaker. Soapy bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Clove, beer mung and citrus aromas. Sweet caramel and bread upfront turning watery in the medium length bitter citrus finish.
