Not too many soon-to-be breweries can boast of not only a backyard waterfall but also a natural springs that the brewery can use for their future beer. But what was initially Bryn Mawr Brewing and is now Utepils (ooh-ta-pils) will be rocking in the fall of this year.
If you are not a Norwegian language expert the name in short means Outside Beer but in common parlance has come to mean “the first beer enjoyed outdoors in the sunshine after a long, dark winter.” The brewery has snagged Eric Harper who has had past brewing stints at Summit Brewing and the famed New Glarus.
Since they are not open as of yet, the full beer menu has yet to be written but there are at least three to start your taster tray off with…
….a traditional hefeweizen, an altbier, and a Czech-style pilsner made using special hops from Bohemia Hop Company.
As you can see, there will be a bit of a traditional European bent to the beers to begin.
