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.

On tap at The West Side Tavern. Pours clear light golden with a small white head, light lacing. I can smell the peppers with the glass sitting on the bar. Aroma is all habaneros. Hot peppers, the apricot helps smooth it out. Spicy finish. Hot, but good. Maybe with BBQ?

Slightly hazy maple syrup orange-brown body, light cream head. Nose layered breads and toffee. Rich body, sweet and tannic, with caramel, prune, and raisin, with marshmallow creme notes developing after a few sips. Nice beer.
