Circle All Peak paired with Bridgeport Hop Czar Imperial IPA
A small mountain meets a big beer. That’s the best way to describe the pairing of Circle All Peak with a bottle of Hop Czar Imperial IPA from Bridgeport Brewing. Both the mountain and the beer have sentimental value to … Continue reading
White Point paired with Prescott Brewing Ponderosa IPA
White Point, an overlook on the Thunder Mountain Trail in southern Utah, is the place of a shared Summit Brew. It was here, atop the bleached rocks high above brilliant red rock cliffs and dreamlike hoodoos, that Brewddah and I … 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

Choosing a name for a brew can sometimes be as important as concocting the recipe (just ask the folks at New Belgium if they think the name “Fat Tire” hasn’t added to the marketability of their beer to cyclists). So Uinta Brewing … Continue reading
Tom’s Hill paired with Moab Brewery Rocket Bike American Lager
Tom’s Hill may not be on the radar for hikers in the summer months, but come winter, this little mound in the center of Big Cottonwood Canyon’s Mill D South Fork is a popular backcountry ski area. Open spaces, glades, … Continue reading

Gettin’ a Fix on Patsy Marley- Epic Hopulent IPA
Desperate times in the Wasatch. If you are a skier living in Salt Lake this year, you know what I’m talking about. We are really jonesing for snow. The “day count” for BrewSki and I lags well behind last season … Continue reading
Mount Van Cott paired with Four Peaks Kilt Lifter
On a previous Summit Brew trip, I hiked to the top of Mount Wire with the Kilt Lifter from Pike Brewing out of Seattle. Well, there’s another Kilt Lifter beer out there, courtesy of Four Peaks Brewing Company, located in … Continue reading
