About
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.

12 oz bottle from Douglas88 via Odeed. Nose is slightly sweet corn with a hint of floral hops. Urine yellow with a small white head. Flavor has very light sweetness and a touch of bitterness. Would be a good hot weather lawnmower beer with the hop presence.

Bottle, pours dark brown/black with a nice two finger tan head. The aromas are smokey and roasted malt with thin hop notes. Tastes malty at first, then some of the roasted malt comes forward with light coffee flavors. The finish is bitter with a bakers chocolate flavor in the back of the mouth. The beer is fairly light feeling with a light to moderate carbonation. I enjoy it.
