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) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, caramel, dried fruit, dates, orange, chocolate and apricots. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, dates, orange, chocolate, dark bread, caramel, honey, apricots and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite sweet. Tasty and harmonious winter warmer. Very nice.

Can. Dark brown pour with a big sudsy khaki colored head that has good retention. The aroma is roasted grains, a bit of mocha and a trace of raisin. The taste is roasted grains, coffee, and dates. The palate is a bit on the thin side with soft carbonation. Finishes short and dry. Overall: decent everyday porter. Paired well with some Manchego cheese.
