Salt Flats Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Salt Lake City UT)

Salt Flats Brewery in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a curious blend of tradition and invention. The site, once a venue for high‑energy competitions, now houses a full‑scale brewery and a distillery, churning out award‑winning spirits alongside its beer lineup. Eight gold medals and a coveted Best of Show confirm that the brewing isn’t just a gimmick; it’s solid craftsmanship.

The establishment leans into the fun side of things with a “Frickin’ Thursday” special brew concept, while the bar serves a house‑made vodka paired with ginger‑beer for a proper Moscow Mule. Their flagship Corkscrew Hazy Pale earns praise for a fragrant bouquet and a silky finish—proof that the palate is taken as seriously as the medals. A generous 5 % of every pint supports Great Salt Lake conservation, so drinking here feels a bit like doing good while enjoying something tasty. The ambience is eclectic, echoing the building’s eclectic past, and the on‑site spirit production is a rarity that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the experience.
