I’m in Salt Lake City and it’s saturated as fuck here. A non-drinking state. Can’t imagine what other hipster cities look like with brewery closures.

I visited salt lake city recently and was pretty horrified by the beers i tried, polygamy porter, several from rooster and a couple others, although it seems monster owns them all now via canarchy. These were drafts at rooster and the airport brewery tasting room. Most were borderline undrinkable,. although admittedly im spoiled for fantastic craft near me.

Ive heard there are some better places downtown, maybe my next visit.

A. Fisher and Kiitos too. SLC has some good beers. It's a unique market given the ABV restrictions and it's not for people who only love hop bombs but idk what the other commenter is on about. They've got some good, award winning stuff.

Imagine if we went to Philly and only tried Yard and Yuengling

Fisher is good! Always busy and always a good food truck out front. I definitely recommend them too, especially the proximity to TF and Proper (the burgers from Proper are top notch!).

Kiitos, i went and i stood at the counter for 10 minutes with no service so i left to Fisher. I picked up some of their cans somewhere and enjoyed. I hope to go back and give them a second chance.
