June 26th--
Drove to SLC. Spent several hours in Temple Square. I had to inform one young lady that we are not interested in converting...
On to beer--we drove to Park City because it was very necessary for me to get Polygamy Porter beer, t-shirt, and/or hat from the Wasatch Brewpub (www.wasatchbeers.com).
My first was the Mucker's Amber Ale---a good balance of malt and hops with a hint of some citrus--which after hours in the sun and a uphill walk to reach the brewpub, I pronounced it VERY thirst quenching. I could have had several but...
Priscilla had the Polygamy Porter which they must have forced the ABV at 4% so they can sell it in grocery stores. That's right--the definition of high alcohol in this state is 4%. Everything above that has to be purchased in state stores. Very smooth brown with toffee flavor and Williamette hops. It won gold at the World Beer Cup.
For the second round, I had a bottle of the Polygamy Porter so I could be guaranteed one to take home without shopping for one tomorrow. Priscilla had Jalapeno Cream Ale, "an English style ale brewed to perfection with fresh jalapenos". Of course she loved it. She forced me to try it and my response was that it was one of the worst beers I have ever tasted!
Some of their waitstaff wore t-shirts that read, "we drink our share and serve the rest."
Food comment--my Idaho pan-seared trout was excellent!
On to western CO tomorrow...
