BEWILDER BREWING CO.

Bewilder Festbier
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 4
  • IBU: 20

We just had to use premium German ingredients for this German classic. The floor-malted pilsner malt gives our version an extra little bump in the malt character added to a subtle toasted bread flavor from the Munich malt. The German hops keep things balanced but still slightly malt forward and very drinkable with a clean grainy lager finish.

Märzen
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 8
  • IBU: 20

Premium German ingredients in this namesake of the Oktoberfest celebration, gives the Marzen its beautiful amber color and rich malty backbone that makes it so easy to drink. A bigger version of our Festbier, the malty palate and finish do not seem sweet, but balanced with just the right amount of hops. The color and malty complexity make this a fall favorite for many looking to start out the Autumn season with some festive beer activities.

Hefeweizen
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 4
  • IBU: 12

Low banana and clove flavor highlight this classic German wheat beer. The soft, somewhat bready or grainy flavor of wheat is complementary, as is a slightly grainy-sweet malt character. Hop flavor is very low as the yeast character is the star of the show. This is a very drinkable style of beer with a relatively dry finish.

Druish Princess - Schwarzbier
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 21
  • IBU: 25

The name is a nod to a classic movie, but Schwarzbier, literally means “black beer” in German, and sometimes called a “black Pils”. Our version of this beer is somewhat malty with a nice dry finish. This is a dark beer that drinks like it’s lighter cousins, with a hint of roasted character.

Vienna Lager
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 4.9%
  • SRM: 12
  • IBU: 24

This redish German lager has a bready, mildly toasty malt character with a dry finish and nice hop balance.

Kolsch (voted Top 3 Best Local Beer)
  • Gluten Reduced
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 2
  • IBU: 25

We start with malt grown specifically for this style of beer from Cologne Germany, and add a little bit of vienna for that wonderful Kolsch flavor that is unique to this style of beer. This has a mildly sweet grain aroma with some floral hop character. The body is light and refreshing with a pilsner like grain quality with mild honey notes. *This beer is Gluten Reduced! -Voted Top 3 Best Local Beer in City Weekly's "Best Of Utah" edition. - NABA 2022 Bronze Medal Winner!

Vitruvian Pils
  • Gluten Reduced
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 2
  • IBU: 25

With inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci, this collaboration beer for The Leonardo Museum of Creativity and Innovation uses Italian and French ingredients (Da Vinci was born in Italy, but died in France) for a perfect balance in this new(er) style pilsner. Italian pilsners capture the balance and drinkability of classic German pils, but they insert a beautiful, yet restrained, fresh, Noble-hops character through generous dry hopping. Da Vinci's diagram of the study of the proportions of the human body, as described by Roman architect Vitruvius, shows that arm span was equal to height in a perfectly proportioned body. We believe this might be a perfectly proportioned Italian Pilsner, so the name seemed fitting.

Fresh Sesh IPA
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • IBU: 55

While a true American IPA by definition starts at 5.5%, we here in Utah have embraced the idea of “session” IPAs for their drinkability and availability on tap per Utah law requiring draft beer be under 5% ABV. Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy hops provide the dominant hop profile of the beer with a pleasantly grapefruit citrus character and just the right amount of bitterness to make this a truly sessionable beer.

Blueberry Pomegranate Sour
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • IBU: 4

Based loosely on a German Berliner Weisse this starts as a very pale, refreshing, low-alcohol German wheat beer with a clean lactic sourness. Our take bumps up the alcohol, uses some mildly fruity hops, and a lot of blueberry pomegranate puree.

Whistlegowoo Dry Hopped Saison
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 3
  • IBU: 34

This time we have a Dry Hopped Saison with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka Hops. It's like a IPA with Belgian character! This beer has a moderate fruity hop aroma with some white wine notes, med-low bubble gum and white pepper esters/phenols. It's dry, and finishes with some fruity hop character that makes you keep coming back.

Habanero Mango Goze
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 3
  • IBU: 10

Our small batch beers are made on our on barrel pilot system, and they don't last long. We took this tart and mildly salty German beer style and added a bit of Habenero for some heat, a bunch of mango purée and a touch of Celtic Sea Salt

Haze Hugs Hazy Pale
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 3
  • IBU: 35

Jucy, Hazy, NEIPA, however you like to define the family of beers, this one delivers ALL the soft lovable hugs to your palate. We hit the fermentation multiple times for maximum flavor of some cool hops on this latest version of a session hazy beer for our taps. Made with low color maris this beer has just the right color and malt balance. Citra and Eldorado do the heavy lifting, but we added a fun new hop called Bru-1 characterized by juicy pineapple and green fruit. So open your arms (mouth), and get ready for a hug of flavor.

Mango Gose
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 2
  • IBU: 10

Our small batch beers are made on our on barrel pilot system, and they don't last long. We took this tart and mildly salty German beer style and added a bunch of mango purée and a touch of Celtic Sea Salt 5.0% ABV 10 IBU

Chick Flip West Coast Pils
  • Pink Boots
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 3
  • IBU: 35

While the Pink Boots Collaboration beers can go many directions, we chose to go big with a West Coast style Pilsner, meaning waaaay more hops than you would typically find in a regular American pilsner. This is a very crushable beer that is perfect for summer. Brewed with the help of members of the Pink Boots society which happen to also be members of the Bewilder team, we couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. The label art was also done by a local artist Sadie Burzan! #pinkbootsbrew

Irish Stout (NITRO)
  • .
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 4.4%
  • SRM: 39
  • IBU: 30

The classic Irish Stout. We take the tried and true Dry Irish Stout recipe, and use barley from the Malting Company of Ireland, English hops and roasted barley and put it on nitro, for an incredibly smooth, roasty, but not burnt, beer that drinks great any time of the year. This is a low gravity beer finishing at 4.6%, and is designed to sit and drink at the pub. Mix it with a heavier beer like our Irish Lager for a Black and Tan, or Half-and-Half!

Schlotfegerla - Dark Rauchbier
  • Small Batch - Limited Supply
  • $6.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 5%
  • SRM: 29
  • IBU: 26

This is a full-bodied, dark smoke beer. The fine Weyermann beechwood- smoky notes combined with the aroma of espresso invite you to take your first sip. On the tongue it impresses with pronounced notes of malt reminiscent of dark chocolate and bread crust. Together with the fine smoky impressions it becomes an harmonious, characterful beer that goes well with flavors in rich meats and ham.

High Point Taproom Beer

Brew-Lab IPA
  • Small Batch - Limited Supply
  • $8.00 16oz
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • SRM: 5
  • IBU: 25

Our FOURTH high point test batch: We are beer nerds at heart and we love experimenting with new hops and new techniques. In that vein, we got our grubby hands on a new USDA hop called Vista, and we just had to make a big juicy IPA with it. This offering from our Brew-Lab IPA series is a 6.5% Juicy IPA featuring Vista hops and a kiss of Sabro, and we reached all the way into our bag of tricks to create a beer that maximized the juicy hop flavors without sacrificing drinkability. It's got a big silky mouthfeel, with huge notes of candied fruit, coconut, and pineapple. hope you get a chance to try it while it's around. Limited release.

Brew-Lab German IPA
  • Small Batch - Limited Supply
  • $8.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 7.1%
  • SRM: 4
  • IBU: 70

This is in our Brew Lab ***Only 5 cases of this were made.*** We took some artistic license in naming a beer a "German IPA", but this beer uses German pilsner malt, our Kolsch yeast, and all German hops (Callista, Ariana, and Hull Melon). It's more along the lines of a west coast IPA. Firm bitterness and a dry finish. Hop flavor and aroma are fresh melon, red fruit, a touch of candied apple. 7.1 ABV 70 IBU

El Fruti Boi
  • .
  • $7.00 16 oz
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • SRM: 7
  • IBU: 10

Introduced for Pride week two years ago, we decided to add both lactose and a tropical fruit blend of pineapple and guava for El Fruti Boi, our milkshake Pale Ale. Just in time for Pride Month, a portion of sales will be going to benefit the Utah Pride Center. This is a silky smooth fruity beer that drinks great, but still reminds you there is beer in there, with a big hop character.

Double ESB
  • .
  • $9.00 16oz
  • ABV: 8.4%
  • SRM: 12
  • IBU: 32

As a tribute to the first beer we ever made at Bewilder, our Double ESB very big brother to the ESB on tap. Despite having "bitter" in the name, this is a copper colored English beer that even with the high ABV doesn’t feel overly sweet or out of balance. Brewed with traditional floor malted English grains and blended for just the right character, this is an awesome beer that screams cellaring and future vertical flights.

Gecko Fingers
  • .
  • $7.50 16oz
  • ABV: 8.8%
  • SRM: 4
  • IBU: 35

Inspired by the constant evolution of the West Coast IPA style, Gecko Fingers uses a surprisingly simple grain bill and clean fermenting yeast that provides just enough backbone to support the hops, without getting in the way. All the modern tricks were used to layer huge amounts of hop character all over this beer, with heavy handed additions of El Dorado and CTZ throughout the process.

Dos Hazy Boi
  • .
  • $9.00 16oz
  • ABV: 8%
  • SRM: 5
  • IBU: 35

At 8%, this is pretty big beer for Bewilder, but at its core, this style is for beer lovers fascinated by hops. The late hopping, indicative of the NEIPA style, provides the same intense hop experience through flavor and aroma instead of, but not without, mild bitterness. We use, Citra, Sabro, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, which produces a huge tropical fruit aroma and flavor dominated by pineapple with mild citrus, but there is no fruit juice in this beer. -NABA 2022 Gold Medal Winner!

  • SRM: 6
  • IBU: 60

A beer influenced heavily by a homebrew recipe from Marshall Lent at Salt City Brew Supply who was looking for a beer that looked and tasted a bit like honey. This American IPA is hop forward with citrus and floral notes while maintaining some mild honey sweetness from both honey malt and local Utah honey. Deseret is the original name the Mormons gave the area Salt Lake City is located, and the word means Honey Bee which is closely related to hard work and being industrious in nature. - 2022 Honey Beer Competition Gold Medal Winner!
