According to the folks at Deer Valley Resort, “Attendees to Deer Valley’s Mountain Beer Festival will enjoy the opportunity to sample a wide range of beer flavors and styles, including many full-strength selections. The festival was created to celebrate Utah’s brewing culture and is exclusive to breweries from Utah. Expect to see local producers, such as Offset Bier and Park City Brewing, as well as nationally recognized brewers from the Beehive State, including Squatters and Uinta, who kick-started Utah’s craft brew scene several decades ago.”

At present, participating breweries include UTOG Brewing, Talisman Brewing, Moab Brewery, TF Brewing, Squatter’s, Wasatch Brewery, Offset Bier, Roosters Brewing Co., Mountain West Cider and RoHa Brewing Project.
