Behold! The Holiday Bottle Tree

A Christmas tree, aglitter with hundreds of twinkling lights, has the enchanting ability to put folks into a festive mood. It’s the centerpiece for countless holiday gatherings, bearing witness to the hums of merriment and jovial toasts of good cheer. I love a traditional tree as much as the next person, but what about a […]

Cockle Warming Beer Cocktails

It seems as if only last month I was wiping my brow and seeking liquid shade in the form of a frosty weissbier. My taste buds must feel the changing winds, as they, too, crave a warmer touch for colder days. A higher heft of alcohol and darker kilned malts are oft’ enough to elicit […]

Cooking with Beer: Butternut Squash Beer Cheese Soup

If you venture to harness the power of the earth – creating something from elements of the land and utilizing […]

Hello, Grisette, Pleased to Meet You!

I recently received an introduction to the beer style, grisette, courtesy of Salt Lake’s newest brewery, Toasted Barrel. While the style has been gaining some popularity in the craft beer scene for the past few years, it was my first encounter. When I asked the brewer what it was, he explained, “It’s like a saison […]

There is something deeply satisfying about crackin There is something deeply satisfying about cracking open the first beer of your latest homebrew batch. The anticipation after 2 weeks of fermentation followed by 2 weeks of bottle conditioning is high! Will it be delicious, or did I manage to fuck it up somehow? 

Meet Dark Sister, a black IPA brewed with rye and hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Idaho 7, and Talus. I'm happy to say it turned out very drinkable and I had a great time brewing it with my cousin, @butterspuppy! As always, many thanks to the @hopbombshells for helping me build confidence and passion for brewing. You are the best! ❤️ Jenni 🍻

Two weeks ago I attended the 50th Anniversary Cele Two weeks ago I attended the 50th Anniversary Celebration for @saveourcanyons at @nhmu. It's hard to believe this organization has been fighting to preserve Utah's Wasatch Mountains for half a century! Here's a toast to all the hard work they've put into protecting one of the most precious resources we have here in Salt Lake City - our beautiful mountains and canyons! 🍻 ~J

Did we need a new double IPA from @redrockbrewing? Did we need a new double IPA from @redrockbrewing? Fukiphīno! But, you gotta love the name and that sweet label art. Looks pretty good on a t-shirt, eh? 😍 Be careful with this one, folks! It's delicious and dangerously smooth at 9% ABV.
