New Brews From SaltFire

Did you know that you can buy high point craft beer directly from local breweries on Sunday? Yep. That includes a couple of special new brews from SaltFire Brewing Co. This week SaltFire released a new batch of Mobius Trip Apricot from Foeder #1, made with genuine Utah apricots, sourced throughout the Valley with the help of the folks at Green Urban Lunchbox. The golden ale was aged for six months on the delectable fruits.

Also new at SaltFire: from their SPON (Spontaneously Fermented) Beer collection: “a new Serafina with Utah Brianna grapes sourced from our friends down south in Utah County at Colledge Farms! The grapes were hand harvested by our brewers, mixed with a golden ale base and fermented in our 500L puncheon using only the yeast found naturally on the skin of the grapes. A true terroir project that we think you’ll really enjoy. Only 300 bottles were produced so we encourage you to pick them up quickly. Set aside a couple in your cellar to see how the beer morphs over the years as well.”
