T.F. Brewing | Delmar

Stouts aren’t typically found on the menu when the weather gets warm, so the heavy, late-season rains in Utah created a perfect excuse to finish the last ones that were hiding out in my refrigerator. T.F. Brewing in Salt Lake City, UT had a perfect pairing in mind for the dark and cloudy skies with Delmar, an 11.5% ABV American imperial stout.

Then, Kevin was back with a bang just as quickly as he had left—and this time he brought along the whole family! Read More

Red Rock Brewing | Le Quatre Saison

How do you define style these days? When we think of a head brewer with style, we think of Kevin Templin. He has been crafting some of our state’s most iconic brews before we even knew what good beer really was. You see, Templin led Salt Lake City’s Red Rock Brewing team as Head Brew Master for just about the past two decades.

Yet it turns out; this suds veteran effortlessly balances connections within all levels of experience in the trade. Read More
