Deer Valley Resort has announced the return of their Deer Valley Mountain Beer Festival, the inaugural event of which kicked off last fall.

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.”

Where to Find the Best Crêpes in Salt Lake City

Tucking into a crêpe is an event. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dessert, crêpes are an escape from the usual daily fare. Endlessly versatile, crêpes can be sweet or savory — filled with anything from fresh fruit and melty chocolate to creamy brie and salty prosciutto.
You can even opt for gluten-free or vegan in some places. I’ve never met a crêpe I didn’t like, and I bet you feel the same way.

Each of these charming crêperies has a distinct vibe and story you’ll love.
