BEWILDER BREWING CO.

Kölsch (voted Top 3 Best Local Beer)
  • Gluten Reduced

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!

Bewilder ESB (Voted Utah's Best Ale)
  • Gluten Reduced

The FIRST Bewilder beer to come out of the tanks! Despite having "bitter" in the name, this is a copper colored English beer with a well balanced earthy hop character and moderate malt sweetness. Brewed with traditional floor malted English grains and a not so secret crystal malt. *This beer is Gluten Reduced! -NABA 2022 Bronze Medal Winner!

Bewilder ESB - Nitro
  • Gluten Reduced

A lower carbed version of our classic (and award winning) ESB on Nitro, for an amazing pub style ale that you have to try!

Vitruvian Pils
  • Italian/French Pilsner

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
  • West Coast Style

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.

Haze Hugs
  • Hazy Pale

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.

American Wheat
  • Bewilder
Cal-Raz Sour
  • Calamansi and Raspberry fruit
Pumpkin English Amber
  • Gluten Reduced

Pumpkin beers are becoming popular enough to have their very own category. This year, our version of the Autumn Seasonal Beer uses our ESB as a base with just the right amount of pumpkin spice to get you in the mood for Fall. The generous malt body and amber color is perfect this time of year and the balance with the spice is hard to beat, and is anything but basic.

Druish Princess -
  • Schwarzbier

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.

Mole Porter
  • Spiced Porter

With the success of the Imperial Mole Porter, we decided to brew a draft strength version of this English style porter, with spices reminiscent of Mexican Mole sauce. Mole (or Americanized “Molé”) comes from an old Nahuati word for “mix”, or “sauce”, referring to the plethora of ingredients in mole dishes. The basic, Chipotle peppers, cinnamon, and cacao, pairs well with the coffee and dark chocolate character of an English porter, so we threw them together for a rich and complex beer that stays surprisingly drinkable. This is a one of a kind beer that is great for Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, and all through the holidays.

Belgian Pale Ale
  • .

slightly hoppier than a typical Belgian beer, but less so than an American Pale Ale. It's more estery than a US Pale, but not as estery as other Belgian Beers. It pours a nice copper color, and the aroma has med-low notes of bubble gum, apple peel, and pepper. All of that is yeast derived. inishes dry with the lingering esters from the Belgian yeast. A complex and flavorful beer.

Small Batch Lichtenhainer
  • Bewilder

High Point Taproom Beer

Big Crispy
  • West Coast Pilsner

"West Coast PIlsner". West Coast Pils is a bit of a new thing. Think of it like a German pilsner, but using American hops that would usually be associated with West Coast IPA. Pours a pale yellow color with a white cap of foam. Aroma has some notes of lemon and citrus fruit and a touch of pine resin and hay. Flavor follows suit.

Gecko Fingers
  • Double West Coast IPA

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
  • Double Hazy IPA

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!

Du Hops Mich
  • .

German ingredients and brewing tradition mixed with a heavy hand of newer German hop varieties, Callista, Ariana, and Huell Melon, gives this beer an old world familiarity, with some new world flair!

Märzen
  • Munich Style

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.

Hopless Romantic
  • Saison Style

Bewilder's first bottled beer! This is a Belgian farmhouse style ale brewed with hibiscus and rose hips, just for Valentines Day! We aged this Saison in Beehive Distilling gin barrels for a nice dry finish. This is an amazing mix of mild phenolics from the Belgian yeast, botanicals, with a hint of oak and gin. You will fall in love with beer!

Imperial Mole Porter
  • Spiced Porter

The Barrel Aged Mole Porter is back!!! This beer is a big fan favorite, dare we say it has a following, and this year's batch is incredible! This is an imperial strength English style porter, with spices reminiscent of Mexican Mole sauce. Mole (or Americanized “Molé”) comes from an old Nahuati word for “mix”, or “sauce”. In addition to the basic ingredients, Chipotle peppers, cinnamon, and cacao, we also added Mexican vanilla, Mulato and Pasilla Negro peppers. For added depth, we also aged the porter in Tequila and Mezcal barrels for 8 months. All of this comes together for a rich and complex beer that keeps you coming back for more. This is a hearty beer that is mildly warming and is great for Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, and all through the holidays! Do not miss out!

Wee Heavy (NABA Gold Medal)
  • Bewilder/Strap Tank

This is the BIG brother to our 60 shilling Party Guy. In collaboration with Strap Tank Brewery in Lehi Utah, this single malt Scottish style ale was brewed at both breweries with a massively extended boil time then blended together for a truly one of a kind kettle caramelized beer. This is a malt forward beer with some alcohol warmth, but very drinkable for it’s age. This beer won a gold at the North American Brewers Association National Beer and Cider competition in 2022!

Festbier - Can
  • .

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.

Small Batch

Schlotfegerla - Dark Rauchbier
  • Small Batch - Limited Supply

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.

Dampfbier
  • Small Batch - Limited Supply

Dampfbier: Literally translated as "steam beer" is a unique and obscure beer style that comes from the wooded areas of Bavaria. The grain bill is similar to Marzen, so the base beer has similar rich caramel and bready notes to it. It's then fermented on the warmer side with German Hef yeast. The banana ester and clove/nutmeg phenolics from the yeast interact with the more sweet and rich malt flavors and give it a very unique flavor. Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other fall spices as well as a touch of banana in the background. Very interested beer.
