New Trees! New Beers!

Howdy all! Last week we planted some new trees to spruce up the front of the brewery! They are Chanticleer Flowering Pear trees; eight in all! Here's a great picture of Greg watering the trees;

Thank God for Summer! Thank God Very Much for Summerbrau! This beer rules.

Thank God For Summerbrau!
So does the new truck art!
I'm having a warm feeling that this summer is going to be bitchin'. The new summer beers rule, the weather rules, and the festivities will be top notch! Just a reminder, Idaho Falls Brew Fest is the first weekend in June. I'm not sure if we will have tickets for sale yet, but I'll let you all know as soon as possible. Apparently, we will be teaming up with Iggy's Bar & Grill for the event. Blueberry, anyone? Oh ya..how about Devastator, IPA and Summerbrau on tap? HA! I thought I'd get you on that one. Weren't sure if you were going to go yet, but now!!! HA! Guess what else! We have Summer Twilight on tap today! That is, by far, my new jam. I can't get enough! We also have Raspberry Wheat, 1st Amendment Lager, Provo Girl Pilsner, Polygamy Porter, Captain Bastards Oatmeal Stout, Bobsled Brown Ale and Brighams Brew Root Beer! Bobsled is still on sweet sale, and we still have some WinterFest! Whoo! Come on in fellow beer lovers. Deb and I are here to fulfill your beer wishes. Love, Abby

HB 51 Collaboration Brew

The 2009 Utah legislative season passed several landmark bills liberalizing some of Utah's strict alcohol laws. House Bill 51 which, as of May 12th 2009, legalizes home brewing in the State of Utah. It will allow for up to 200 gallons of beer and/or wine to be brewed per household per year.

In celebration of HB51, the local brewpubs of Salt Lake City and its surrounding area decided to get together and honor this momentous occasion. Desert Edge, Hoppers, Red Rock, Wasatch, Bohemian and Squatters Brew Pubs have collaborated on a brew together to salute the local home brewers and have some fun while we are at it.

All 6 brew pubs will be brewing the same style of beer but with one very specific variable either altered or added. All malt, hops, water, and timing will be identical, but each brewery will integrate one different variable to show our customers, especially the local home brewers, what changing one important factor can do for a beer.

The brew, a session amber ale, will be on tap at all 6 brew pubs (and The Beer Store) beginning May 1st. The release date of HB51 coincides with the Big Brew National Homebrew Day, May 2nd. Those interested can pick up a recipe sheet at each of the 6 brewpub locations. The following is a list of what each pub is doing differently to set their HB51 beer apart from others; Desert Edge: unfiltered, Hoppers: aging with oak, Red Rock: filtered, Wasatch: dryhop added, Bohemian: fermented with lager yeast and Squatters: Amarillo whole flowers added in hopback. For more information feel free to contact any of the above brewpubs.

The Beer Store will be featuring Wasatch Brew Pubs HB51 name "Hell Hath Frozen Over" starting on May 1st = Friday!!!!

Come on in and snag some growler fills to go fo sho!
