The Utah Beer News podcast is an extension of utahbeernews.com. It strives to deliver stories from brewers, breweries, and everyday imbibers who share a passion for craft beer. Founded in 2018, Utah Beer News is written by and for craft beer lovers. It's handcrafted craft beer content to sip and savor.
The 2022 Lagerpalooza is set for May 7. The two-part event features one of the country’s largest—if not the largest—lager-specific homebrew competition. Plus: The festival portion of Lagerpalooza returns after a Covid-19-imposed hiatus. Judging for the homebrew competition is set to take place on April 30. The all-ages festival starts at noon on May 7 in the parking lot of Bohemian Brewery in Midvale. The lager-focused brewery is located at 94 East Fort Union Boulevard.
Medals will be awarded to homebrew competition winners, KUAA will be playing tunes, and a cornhole tournament is planned. And Johnny the Balloon Guy will be dazzling kids and adults alike with his balloon animal-making skills.
Plus: Plenty of local craft beers will be poured and you’ll have a chance to sip the Best of Show winner from Lagerpalooza 2020 — Nala’s Nectar. Brewed by Chaz Smith, proceeds from the sale of Nala’s Nectar benefit the Davis County Animal Shelter.
Utah Beer News sat down with representatives from Lagerpalooza, which is a collaboration between Bohemian Brewery, Salt City Brew Supply and Bewilder Brewing. We visited with Kelly Schaefer and Sasha Taddie from Bohemian, and Cody McKendrick from Salt City and Bewilder. Chaz Smith also joined us to talk about Nala’s Nectar, which we tasted straight from the tank during our recording.
We recorded this episode on April 7—National Beer Day—at Bohemian Brewery. Thanks to the folks from Lagerpalooza for taking the time to visit. And thank you for listening. If you enjoy this type of storytelling, I’d really appreciate it if you could please leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.
And now, let’s dive in to learn more about Lagerpalooza, as well as Bohemian Brewery, Salt City Brew Supply, and Bewilder Brewing.

3 Beers with Joey at Slackwater Sandy - December 2021
We’re back with another visit with Joey Cardaccio, the beer and service manager at Slackwater Pub & Pizzeria in Sandy. Each month we visit with Joey for our Virtual Taproom and 3 Beers with Joey segment that you can watch now on the Utah Beer News YouTube Channel.
I like to share these mini-podcasts for your listening pleasure in case you’re on the go and can’t be distracted with the video portion of the episode.
This month Joey highlights three beers that are worth checking out.
The three beers we talk about this month are:
War on Xmas White Milk Stout with Spices (Illuminated Brew Works)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2021 Winter Warmer (Anchor Brewing)
Cinnamon Dolce Nitro Stout (Firestone Walker Brewing)
Give a listen to learn more about these three beers. Joey also gives us the scoop on events happening at Slackwater in December 2021 — including a can takeover featuring Grid City Beer Works (Dec. 15).
We recorded our conversation on Dec. 6, 2021, and, as I mentioned, you can catch the full video on our YouTube channel, as well as on our Facebook Page.
Thanks to Joey for taking the time to talk with Utah Beer News. And thank you for listening. If you enjoy this type of storytelling, I’d really appreciate if you could please leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.

Virtual Taproom: Park City Brewing
You’re listening to our Virtual Taproom visit with Jeff Tito, president of the all-new Park City Brewing. These brief Virtual Taproom conversations are recorded via Zoom and the video is available now on the Utah Beer News YouTube channel.
As I’ve done with previous Virtual Taproom episodes, I wanted to share the audio portion with the Utah Beer News podcast listeners. Rather than the more in-depth interviews and brewery histories typical of our podcast episodes, these bite-sized conversations feature more so-called “newsy” information. We talk about new beer releases, upcoming events, and general happenings at Utah’s craft breweries.
If you’re in the Utah beer industry and would like to be a guest on an upcoming episode, please send me an email at tim@utahbeernews.com.
For this one, Jeff talks about the distinction between Park City Brewery, which had operated in Utah for several years, and this new venture — Park City Brewing. He also describes the beers that are available out of the gate, the plans for a Park City-based taproom in the coming months (and a Salt Lake taproom later in 2022), and what it means to “create quality beer for locals, by the locals.”
We recorded our conversation on Nov. 10, 2021, and, as I mentioned, you can catch the full video on our YouTube channel, as well as on our Facebook Page.
Thanks to Jeff for taking the time to talk with Utah Beer News. And thank you for listening. If you enjoy this type of storytelling, I’d really appreciate if you could please leave a review on your podcast platform of choice.
