Hello readers and welcome back. We missed you during our five-week break, and were elated to try a beer in the great state of Utah on our girls ski trip. We decided to hop into Squatters Top of Main Brew Pub in Park City, Utah, to see what was going on with their beer selection.
We went with the Yuzu Bruzu, a wheat beer with hints of Yuzu, by Wasatch Brewing, conveniently attached to the pub. We were dismayed to learn, however, that Utah has a law that all draft beers have to be 5% or less. Upon hearing this news, we committed to a pitcher and decided to lock in.
To be completely honest, this beer was so mid. It tasted like a normal lager, with a hint of yuzu, but the yuzu turned soapy after a while. The beer did pair well with the two uncrustables in our stomachs, and we soon forgot about its low alcohol by volume (ABV). Soon we were sloshed, taking down a pitcher and shoving an overpriced Bavarian pretzel down our throats.
The experience was subpar, but not a waste.
Although the soap taste increased with time, the drinkability somehow also increased. The elevation in addition to four days of skiing all day definitely got the girls down bad, and we had a fantastic time at the brewery. We were able to put together our 2026 ins and outs, brainstorm reel ideas for the Beer for Babes Instagram (follow, please) and Haley had the best cup of soup she’s ever had.
Vibes were high as we downed our snacks, especially because there was a skiing highlight reel on the TV. We had to live through those experiencing the jaPOW phenomenon, which was truly amazing, since Haley had to bring out her 94 cm underfoot skis (yeah, times were rough). Yes, we hit the park, yes, we avoided all big features and yes, it was a vibe.
Although the snow was slightly better in Utah than Colorado, the beer was not. Maybe it was the 5% limit on draft beer, maybe it was the nearby aura of the LDS, or maybe it was the expensive Park City of it all. We missed our Colorado beers and are happy to be back this week, although with every article comes the haunting and impending doom of graduation. Speaking of which, we also wanted to shout out Claire Lindsey ‘27, the future mommy of Beer for Babes. We will be incorporating her this next semester, so watch out and stay tuned for her additions to these articles.
We love you all (all three of our readers) and we hope you enjoyed this short but sweet article. We hope to get some better beer in 2026 and get drunk. Happy New Year!
