About Us
Welcome to the 13th Annual Utah Beer Festival!
When City Weekly started the first ever Utah Beer Festival in 2010, we had no idea what it might turn into. All we knew is that Utah had lots of beer drinkers and it was high time an event was created just for them. What we know now is that Utah has lots more beer drinkers than we ever imagined.
All these years in, we've grown from 10 vendors pouring just over 50 beers to what will be a record number of vendors--over 70--pouring over 250 beers. What was a very new industry in 2010 has now emerged as one the increasingly vital segments of the Utah economy, not just from selling beer, but also from creating local jobs and broadly supporting the many Utah farmers who supply the industry.
This is also our first year at Granary Live and Granary square. This district was in disrepair 10 years ago. However, it's now become a vital section of Salt Lake City and promises to be a mecca for all things entertainment for years to come. It is no surprise to us that among the businesses that helped revitalize the Granary include three pioneering breweries--TF Brewing, Kiitos and Fisher.
