Crafty Beer Girls Podcast Episode 8 – Remember, Remember The 1st of November

In this episode, we visit with Jennifer Hamilton of Mountain West Hard Cider, ruminate on Utah’s new 5% ABV cap on draft and grocery store beers (it used to be 4%) that took effect on November 1st, and discuss some of the differences between beer and cider. Then we hear about Lauren’s trip to the 2019 Great American Beer Festival, Utah’s medalists (Shades, Level Crossing, Red Rock, T.F., and Squatters), and this year’s Small Brewpub of the Year, Rowley Farmhouse Ales, in Santa Fe, New Mexico where Jenni visited recently. Due to some technical difficulties during the recording this episode, our segment on T.F. Brewing, a bronze medalist at GABF, and a tasting of their new NEIPA, Jellyfish, is not included. This was not an intentional snub. We regret the omission and wish TF a hearty congratulations and a very Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

Beer Clean or Bust

Some of the beers we drank…

Thai Tom Kha – GABF Gold Medalist
Jellyfish from T.F. Brewing
Songs of Our Own – Rowley Farmhouse Ales

We drank a lot of beer on this podcast including those you see here. Lauren said not to post the photo of the Shades beer because the nucleation points on the glass indicate it’s less than perfectly clean. No better way to learn than through illustration, right?! Not pictured is the Buffalo Point NEIPA from Red Rock. Cheers!

Thanks again to Mountain West Hard Cider for hosting us. A big thanks to Mike “The Janitor” Millen for contributing, producing and editing all of our silliness. We know that ain’t easy!

This is huuuuge!! The beer selection at @saltcityb This is huuuuge!! The beer selection at @saltcitybrewsupply, that is. South valley beer drinkers now have a one-stop shop for all of their homebrew supply and beer drinking needs! 🍻

In honor of the grand opening of their new to-go beer store, Salt City released Baby Dez, a session IPA brewed with honey. This is a 5% ABV version of Deseret IPA from @bewilderbeer. Owners Ross and Cody also have a collection of old beer cans on display. Neat!

Grab a few sixers or make a mixed pack of your own! Super stoked to have this resource in SLC. 👍

Last night, after wrapping up with the @hurricane_mtb_festival, @craftybeergirls, @eskercycles demo driver @cedarcoastal and I camped out so we could do an evening ride and get some #sunset photos. They brought #drinks, I brought a camera.
