Surf’s Up for Johnny Utah Beer Fans

Whoa. Georgetown Brewing Company, one of Seattle’s best beer makers, recently revealed cans for its longtime popular pale ale Johnny Utah, named after Keanu Reeves’ character in the 1991 surfer-FBI-movie classic “Point Break” (the brewery has always loved that movie and has named several beers in honor of it). For years, the beer has been available on tap at Georgetown’s location, as well as select bars around the city, but this is the first time the citrusy ale has been packaged for retail sales both at the brewery and major supermarkets such as QFC, Safeway, and the like. It should pair well with Georgetown’s Bodhizafa IPA. You know Bodhi, don’t you? That’s Bodhi.

Diners also now have the option to get chocolate dips for their orders.
