Craft beer in Utah
Wasatch craft, surprisingly deep.
Utah's craft scene operates within the state's distinctive alcohol regulations (which limit on-tap ABV in some venues to 5%) but has produced genuinely strong breweries. Salt Lake City and Park City anchor most of the activity. Templin Family, Squatters, and several smaller producers have built solid reputations within the constraints.
