Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop with Upslope Belgian Blonde with Guava
Fruit beers, fruit beers, everywhere there are fruit beers. I’m not complaining, as I like many options that are now available, especially those session beers popping up in Utah grocery stores. The newest entry in this emerging category is the … Continue reading

Upslope Belgian Style Pale Ale paired with Geyser Pass Yurt
Geyser Pass Yurt and Haystack Mountain Good beer on a yurt trip is a requirement. Without being able to crack open a cold brew after a long day of skiing… well… you might as well not even be there. Such … Continue reading

Millvue Peak Paired with Odell Isolation Ale
With the explosion in popularity of backcountry skiing, there’s a risk that I use my years of experience in the sport as an excuse to look upon the johnny-come-latelys with a bit of disdain. This last weekend, I had to … Continue reading

Great White Whale paired with New Belgium Ranger IPA
Long live IPA in cans. The style is easily my favorite to consume, and by having it available in cans, it’s all the more easy to transport in a pack when climbing to the top of lofty mountain summits. The … Continue reading

Shelly Baldy Peak paired with New Belgium Shift
Drinking beer atop mountains is easy in the winter. You can put climbing skins on skis and simply walk to the top. The bonus is that you get to ski down when you’re done. The minus, is that mountaintops are … Continue reading

Big Mountain paired with New Belgium Red Hoptober
Big Mountain. The name suggests a massive massif, when it’s really just a small peak (8,472 feet) among much larger high points of the Wasatch. But while the mountain doesn’t quite live up to its name, the history of the … Continue reading

Sugarloaf Peak paired with Great Divide Rumble Oak Aged IPA
A unique morning calls for a unique beer, and I found both atop Sugarloaf Peak with a Great Divide Rumble in my hand. Actually, this hike to the summit of Sugarloaf overlooking Alta’s Albion Basin was a downright strange trip, … Continue reading
Temptation Ridge (White Pine) paired with Avery IPA
Temptation Ridge is a long, traversing shoulder of rock that slouches off the side of American Fork Twin Peaks above Snowbird’s Gad Valley, which, it turns out, is an excellent place for a Summit Brew with a can of Avery … Continue reading
Little Water Peak paired with Crazy Mountain Amber Ale
Little Water Peak is a 9,605-foot mountain that lives between Mill Creek and Big Cottonwood Canyons in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. While this tree freckled, rounded mound isn’t the most grand looking peak in the world, it makes up for its … Continue reading
Twin Lakes Pass paired with New Belgium Snow Day
Okay, Twin Lakes Pass isn’t really a summit in the strictest sense, but it is a named high point in the Wasatch Mountains and is one way to link the towns of Alta and Brighton between Big and Little Cottonwood … Continue reading
