20160411—-What would it be like if breweries in Utah could brew real beer like breweries almost everywhere else in the country?   The answer is that Utah would be a lot like almost everywhere else in the country, which is to say, a pretty good place to drink.  Strong bottled beer has been legal since the 2008 Olympics; if you go to a brewpub like RedRock, which does both bottles and drafts, you can get an idea what they’d be doing if they weren’t trapped behind the Zion Curtain.
_____Bobcat Nut Brown is a 6.1% brown ale—quite strong for a British Nut Brown, but not surprising in the high-test US of A.   It’s chewy and malty with a dark biscuit maltiness and a few wandering dark sugars here and there.  Into the aftertaste there’s a touch of toffee and a bit of fruit.   Altogether, it’s an easy to drink brown ale without the leathery edge that some stronger brown ales get from some types of dark crystal malt.
