  I know it is uncool to admit this, but... Guiness is ****.
  
  I like a stout now and again, but not that dry-tasting stuff.

  Say what you will. But we have some awesome breweries here. I had a Wasatch First One Down just yesterday. It was the perfect after ski beer.

  The micro-breweries are popping up up everywhere. Pricey, but they make some **** nice products.

  Yes, the breweries here are quite good with one caveat. They make styles that just do not fit into a 3.2% alcohol limit. You cannot have an IPA that is 3.2; it just doesn't work that way. However, if they stick to styles that fit within that mandated framework, they do a great job with the low-point stuff.
  The liquor store beers (stuff they can't sell anywhere but liquor stores and bars/restaurants with a unique type of 'double secret probation-esque' liquor license) are truly great in a lot of cases.
  
  Chris,
  Have you been to Red Rock Brewing yet? Good bar-style grub and a nice list of on-tap low-point beers. They also bottle many of their high-point stuff that is really great. Also, if you are looking for a grocery store beer that is good, try out Wasatch Brewing's "Yard Sale."

  I'm not sure if I posted about this great beer or not. But it's currently on the top of my favorites.

  Question, I didn't think the beer they served in the breweries were 3.2, are you sure? Because when we ate a Squatters that was an awfully good ale I had with one serious burger.
  
  I have not been to Red Rock. But do not waste your time at the Strap Tank.

  Chris, if it was on tap it was 3.2. Not a single tap with high point beer is allowed anywhere. Squatters does a good job with food and beer!

  Shawn, can you please explain the law on the 3.2 beer? From what I'm reading, this sounds entertaining.
