St. Archer Mosaic IPA and Gunsight Couloir at Alta
A week from now, the holiday skiers will invade Little Cottonwood Canyon. That’s why I have been elated to get some good days in at Alta before the lift lines are filled with name labeled skis and rainbow dial-a-bindings. When … Continue reading
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

Millvue Peak Paired with Odell Isolation Ale

La Sal’s South Mountain paired with Moab Brewery Rocket Bike Lager
South Mountain, located on the southern edge of Moab’s La Sal Mountains, is a remote (in the winter) destination. Therefore, if one wants to make turns from her summit, they best be prepared for a 13-mile round trip tour. Skiers … Continue reading

Zion N.P. Observation Pt./ Duvel Golden Ale

When winter-closed roads melt out and open, and the snow starts to disappear under the warm May sun, there is a short window to farm corn on those mountains that can only be skied in the spring. So it was … Continue reading
Mount Mellenthin paired with Uinta Wyld

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
