If you listen to out-of-staters, you’ve undoubtedly heard how you can’t get a decent beer here. That’s simply not true! The trick is to get your beer from a Utah brewery. We have several award-winning breweries right here in the Beehive state. While most of these breweries also operate brew pubs where you can hang out and enjoy food, beer and music, this list only includes breweries that bottle and/or can – it doesn’t include brew pubs that only offer their beer on tap.
There’s no way I’m going to even begin to rank these, so they’re listed in alphabetical order.
