Salt Lake Brewing Co. Airport Pub (Craft Beer & Brewery in Salt Lake City UT)

Salt Lake Brewing Co. Airport Pub has been serving up craft beer and hearty fare in Salt Lake City since 1989, and the story reads like a legend. It began as Squatters Pub Brewery, a brain‑child of a year‑long pub crawl across the West (the sort of epic quest that would make most people nap instead). The result is a brewery that feels less like a commercial venture and more like a proper community hub, where locals and travelers alike can drop their pretentiousness at the door and enjoy a good pint.

The brew‑hall boasts a cozy loft ideal for private events, a menu that champions locally‑sourced ingredients, and daring dishes such as bison burgers and Colorado chili bowls that sit perfectly beside a rotating selection of flights. The fries are crisp enough to be mentioned in a sermon, and the staff—most notably Diane and Charlie—are so knowledgeable they could probably name the yeast strain in their sleep. Situated at the airport, the venue offers a singular dining experience: you can sample a sustainable, community‑focused brew while waiting for a plane, proving that great beer doesn’t need a countryside hideaway to shine.
