Notable Breweries:Squatters Pub Brewery, Uinta Brewing Company, Red Rock Brewing Co.
Your craft beer journey through Salt Lake City begins the moment your plane lands and you step foot inside Salt Lake City International Airport. Terminal 2's Concourse C is where you'll find Squatters Airport Pub. Although much smaller than Squatters Pub Brewery's original location in downtown Salt Lake City, travelers can still sample some of the brand's top brews here before they unpack their bags.
Red Rock Brewing Co. is also a standout brewery in Salt Lake City, serving up a variety of beers from draft classics to stronger and more creative beers from its Fine Line and Artist Palette.
If Squatters is Salt Lake City's oldest brewery then Uinta Brewing Company is the city's most well-known. The brand is distributed nationally and has won countless awards for many of its beers, including its "Yard Sale" winter lager.
