WILD HOPS & BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOGS

10-26-2010

:
HALLMARKS OF NEW SIGNATURE BEERS FROM MONTAGE DEER VALLEY,
OPENING DECEMBER 2010 IN PARK CITY, UTAH

L-R: Montage Mountain Ale, Hotel Exterior and Monty's Belgian White Ale


PARK CITY, UTAH - (October 25, 2010) - What beverage pairs best with local farm-to-table cuisine? The culinary team at Montage Deer Valley, opening December 2010, suggests one great option is a custom craft beer. Particularly if the beer is exclusive to the lodge-style resort that offers true ski-in, ski-out access to Deer Valley, just named North America's #1 ski resort by the readers of SKI Magazine for an unprecedented fourth year in a row.

Montage Mountain Ale, a beer crafted by Park City's award-winning Wasatch Beers, incorporates local high altitude wild hops (including some harvested from the hops trellises at the resort). It will only be available at the lodge-style resort's three dining venues and at the brewery. Another signature private label brew, Monty's Belgian White Ale, is named for the resort's canine ambassador, a rapidly growing and very welcoming Bernese Mountain Dog. 

Montage Mountain Ale
The pilsner-style draught ale, the independent hotel company's first custom craft beer, is a lighter-flavored, golden-colored brew designed for year-round drinkability. It is certain to be an après-ski favorite at Daly's Pub & Rec, the resort's gourmet gastro-pub that features four regulation bowling lanes, an English darts room and a Wii gaming lounge among the entertaining areas adjacent to its open kitchen with brick pizza oven. 

Montage Mountain Ale is the result of a partnership between the resort and Greg Schirf of Wasatch Beers, who founded Park City's first brewery in 1986. Schirf will also offer the resort's signature beer on tap at his Wasatch Brew Pub at the top of historic Main Street. Wasatch Beers was named "Best Mid-Size Brewing Company" at the Great American Beer Festival in September. 


Monty's Belgian White Ale
This private label bottled beer was designed as a sophisticated complement to Montage Mountain Ale. The cardamom and spice flavors are appealing and pair well with the property's inventive culinary offerings, and its effervescent quality nicely matches the celebratory atmosphere of the resort. Monty's Belgian White Ale is only available at the resort's three dining outlets. Naming the beer after Monty, the Montage Deer Valley canine ambassador, an affectionately welcoming Bernese Mountain Dog, adds to the only-from-Montage allure.
