road trips and the Red Iguana, if any of you cctalk'ers
are making your way through or to SLC, be sure to email me a 'heads

collection if you're interested.
Beer? In Salt Lake City?
Heh heh... yeah, the rest of the country has some pretty funny ideas
of what Salt Lake City is like... usually spoken by people who have
never been here :-)
If I were to treat you to a pint, I would take you to the Bayou, which
has the best selection of beers in town:

I'll also point out that when I moved here in '88, I had never heard
of a microbrewery. Salt Lake had not just one but several within the
next few years and despite the fact that their beer is required to be
3.2% by law outside of a private club (i.e. bar), they *still* won
first place awards for the taste and quality of the brew. Even
several years after we were awash in microbreweries here in Salt lake,
they still didn't have *one* back at my own town of Newark, Delaware.
(Now they have 'em, but it took them a while to catch up to 'beerless'
Salt Lake City :-).
Local brewery names are Moab, Desert Edge, Red Rock, Squatters, Uinta
and Wasatch. Ones I like are Squatter's Pale Ale, Wasatch (no) 2002
Amber, Wasatch Hefeweizen, Squatter's St. Provo Girl.
