Episode 167 Investigative Beer Reporter

Standard

For episode 167 we were joined by Utah’s very own beer journalist, Tim Haran. Tim is the author and founder of Utah Beer News.

We had Tim join us to talk about the the upcoming City Weekly Utah Beer Fest! Tim knows Utah’s craft beer scene inside and out and listening to him talk about how the market has grown over the last 5 years is pretty incredible for Utah. Tim decided to start Utah Beer news from his own love of home brewing, which he says is how many Utah brewery’s have come to life.

There are plenty of people writing about the actual product, but Tim has found a special niche by writing the stories of the people behind Utah’s craft beer. What are some of Tim’s favorite local beers you ask? Currently he is loving Fisher Beer Rye Cream Beer and new brewer, Level Crossing Brewing! We can only see Utah Beer News getting bigger and bigger as the community grows.

Utah’s One Thing: Kelly Schaefer, Bohemian Brewing

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 148 we were so excited to join Kelly Schaefer at Bohemian Brewing to find out more about the brewery and their community involvement. Kelly told us that his one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah would be obvious and that is to go to a Czech brewery. Kelly also said take time to go to one of Utah’s cultural festivals and one of our Chinese restaurants.

Utah’s One Thing: JC Straub, Salt Flats Brewing

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

JC Straub, of Salt Flats Brewing, joined us for episode 141 to talk about their beers, the Garage Grill restaurant, and what they have coming up this year! JC told us that the one thing that someone visiting Utah had to do was easy! Drink Salt Flats beer! JC said to get out of the house. He said so many people that live in Utah haven’t done “Utah things.” We agree with JC, you should “give it a whirl!”

Episode 141 The Public Is Thirsty

Standard

When you put auto racing, entrepreneurship, good ideas, a good company mission statement, and good people together you get Salt Flats Brewery!

Episode 141 we were invited to the beer garden, now to be known as the beer church, to record our show with JC Straub the marketing director/ manager of Garage Grill and the brewery, Denver Brady sales director, and Scott Parker master brewer.

It was incredibly humbling to be given a tour to see and learn the beginnings of a new flourishing brewery. From a small keg brewing kit to now almost a dozen vats! Owner and investor Steve Pruitt, former Utah auto racer, has taken his enthusiasm of racing and injected Salt Flats Brewery with that same energy and given the reigns to passionate people to run his vision! At any given time you will see a collection of his race cars at the brewery or at the Garage Grill. Master brewer Scott, brought his brewing knowledge from California and he is constantly working on creating new brews for Salt Flats. With 40 flavors under his belt, and 20 beers on tap at any given time, their top two and most favorite are the Hefeweizen German style and their high point double IPA. Salt Flats Brewery mission statement; to create a drinkable, approachable beer without trying to create crazy brews; while offering a basic “Bud drinker” something local. We think that they are achieving this to the highest standard even 2 years into their conception.

There are several ways to enjoy Salt Flats Brews. You can go to the industrial park and visit the beer garden *aka the beer church*, you can enjoy their brews at the Garage Grill in Draper, Toscano’s in Sandy, and in your local grocery/liquor store. With two new store franchise releases in March; Smiths Marketplace and Maverick Gas Stations there will be no shortage of enjoyment! Upcoming events for Salt Flats Brewing include; 16th of February Beard Competition at the Ice Haus in Murray, on 21st Brews and Bites, in partnership with the SL Culinary center are pairing tasty food with Salt Flats beer! March 23rd is the Utah Brewers Guild collaboration with other local brewers! You can find all of these events by following Salt Flats Brewing on their Facebook, Instagram, and of course their website.
