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.

Hell yeah, another nice White IPA. Hazy yellow-orange body. Thin, foamy white head. Hops take over the aroma, nice orange citrus tones. The banana clove tastes are there in the flavor, but ever controlled by the big citrus hop tones. Really a nice beer, nails the fledgling style.

Bottle @ home, picked up somewhere in New Mexico. Pours a black appearance with a thin brown head. Anise, a bit milky, chocolate, fairly roasty aroma. Kind of thin, burnt/ashy, burnt sugar, anise, chocolate flavor. Bleh.

Bottle @ home picked up somewhere in New Mexico. I had a really godawful Doppelbock early, so I wasn’t really in the mood for this but what the hell. Pours a clear brown appearance with a tan head. A bit woody smoky, dark caramel, slightly nutty aroma. Rich nutty, light toffee, toasty malty, kind of grainy, herbal flavor that dries out a bunch on the finish. Ok.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a very cloudy straw color with a medium white head. A big nose of spices and light lemony hops. The flavor is a big dose of coriander, wit beer dominant, earthy, lingering spices and lemon, oranges. Pretty nice.

750 ml bottle from the Co-op. Pours a crystal clear yellow color with some hints of pink, a small white head. A big woody vinous nose with some hints of tartness. A mellow flavor dominated by fruity grapes and apricot, certainly some seeming funkiness even akin to Brett-C, a nice mellow oaky finish. Certainly a different take on the usual big dark beers aged in port. Very delicate and pretty good. Really awesome label.
