Epic Brewing Looks to Grow Through Multiple Brewing Facilities - Brewbound.com
Full article available here:
Last year, Epic Brewing's head brewer, Kevin Crompton, surprised Great American Beer Festival (GABF) attendees when he announced during a media luncheon that the company would expand into a second brewing facility in Denver, Colo.
While the announcement wasn't planned, the strategy of growing via multiple locations was; one year later, Epic — which is headquartered in Salt Lake City — was pouring beer for thousands of GABF attendees at its one week-old Denver taproom and brewery.
In the video above, Epic co-founder David Cole discusses that the idea of operating numerous production facilities throughout the country.
We knew that we would quickly outgrow the space in Utah and we started thinking about other markets, he said. Rather than do a big production brewery in the state of Utah, we like to have that local connection.
Epic's brewery space in Salt Lake City isn't designed to go beyond 12,000 barrels annually, Cole said, and it's something the company took into consideration when it finally decided to purchase space in Denver.
We built in all the infrastructure oversized, to get us up to 35,000 barrels, he said. All of the support of the stainless steel in the brewery is existing and that is the hard part to upgrade down the road. We made that investment up front.
Cole hopes the approach of growing through multiple, regionally located, mid-sized breweries will prove itself in Denver and allow the company to consider additional expansion opportunities in the future.
Denver is a test case but it looks pretty optimistic right now, he said.
Cole said the company is already identifying its next move.
I am a native of California so it wouldn't surprise me to end up in a place that we have a personal connection with, he said.

Salt Lake City's Beer and Brewery Scene
You might be surprised to hear it, but Salt Lake City is a micro-brew mecca. Due to Utah’s interesting beer and liquor laws, brewers are limited to producing 3.2% alcohol content beer for grocery stores and beer and restaurant taps. High-point beers are distributed in bottles, but the majority of Utah brewers are crafting ridiculously tasty session beers before session beers became a ‘thing.’ That’s right, Salt Lake brewers are the hipsters of the craft brew scene. In wise words, Jason Stock, Brewmaster at Squatters—Salt Lake’s second oldest brewery—“we can’t hide behind bruiser beers here in Salt Lake. We had to learn how to make a delicious beer that doesn’t hide behind the alcohol.”
Chances are, some of our local beers and spirits are showing up in your local watering holes and stores. Salt Lake beer scene is bubbling—stereotypes be damned.

(Apologies for the skipping frame rate on X, OBS was a big jerk when we recorded this week) Dang, it gets so frustrating to live in this state sometimes when you have religious adults telling the non religious adults what they deem as proper and OKAY to do when it comes to businesses and living their lives.

Uinta Brewing Company embarked upon its mission of brewing world class, full-flavored, craft-brewed beer in the winter of 1993. From a small, renovated mechanic's garage located in Salt Lake City, Uinta began distributing a tasty variety of beer ranging from 4.0% to over 10% alcohol by volume to local bars, restaurants, and liquor stores. Demand escalated, resulting in the installation of a bottling line in 1996. Then, in 2001, having outgrown its original building,
Uinta Brewing is named after an east-west mountain range located in northeastern Utah. Many of Uinta's beer names are inspired by Utah's diverse landscapes or have historical significance. Cutthroat Pale Ale, Uinta's flagship beer, is named after Utah's state fish. Subsequent beer names followed suit, such as King's Peak Porter, named after Utah's highest peak, Golden Spike Hefeweizen, named after the spike used to commemorate the completion of the transcontinental railroad in Utah, and Dubhe, named after the Utah Centennial star.
In desire of creating a different experience in beer, Uinta launched its Crooked Line in 2010. These beers were dubbed big beers both in taste, alcohol content and size of bottle. Crooked Line beers are packaged in 750 ml bottles and are cork finished. Ranging from 9 to over 13% alcohol by volume, the intention was that these beers would be shared, as one would a bottle of wine, with friends and paired with food. Some beers are aged in oak, whiskey or bourbon barrels for up to six months prior to reaching the market. Knowing that each beer was quite different from the next, it was essential that each brew showcased its individuality outside the bottle as well. Uinta sought the talents of local artists to design the labels, assuring that each style was unique in packaging as well as in style and taste.
The launch of the Crooked Line was quickly followed by the grand opening of the Little Big Beer Store—an on-site store selling higher alcohol content beers—refrigerated! Uinta Brewing spent most of 2010-2011 going through a massive redesign of its logo, labels, all packaging and its bottle. The process enabled Uinta to clearly organize and define three lines of beers under the Uinta Family: The Classic Line, Organic Line and Crooked Line.
Uinta designed a custom, proprietary 12 ounce bottle as part of the redesign project. Referred to as the compass bottle, the new bottle shape is branded by a 360-degree compass embossed into the bottle's shoulder. The upshot? You'll never get lost with a Uinta bottle in hand! Naturally, adopting the custom-shaped bottle gave rise to the need for a substantial investment in new bottling line equipment.
The redesigned logo embodies the uniqueness of the company's namesake, the Uinta Mountains. A compass is integrated into the logo with the needle pointing East-West, referencing the only major range facing East-West in the continental U.S.. The compass also speaks to Uinta's sense of exploration and direction as Uinta consistently strives to brew the best beer possible. Earth, Wind and Beer remains part of the logo referring to Uinta's long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship. A separate renewable energy logo has been added to packaging as Uinta Brewing has become both wind and solar powered!
Since 2001 Uinta Brewing has been 100% wind-powered, becoming the first Utah company to reach this mark. In an effort to continue its commitment to using renewable resources, Uinta Brewing installed solar-electric paneling on the brewery's roof in 2011.
Uinta is committed to brewing world-class beer using the best practices and ingredients. Uinta Brewing Company is also proud to be an OU Kosher certified company producing kosher certified products.
Uinta Brewing is a proud Utah company serving world class beers to good people in better ways.
What Is Utah's Pioneer Day?
Pioneer Day is an official holiday celebrated on July 24 in the U.S. state of Utah, with some celebrations in regions of surrounding states originally settled by Mormon pioneers. It commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, where the Latter-day Saints settled after being forced from Nauvoo, Illinois, and other locations in the eastern United States. Parades, fireworks, rodeos, and other festivities help commemorate the event. Similar to July 4, most governmental offices and many businesses are closed on Pioneer Day.
In addition to being an official holiday in Utah, Pioneer Day is considered a special occasion by many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). On Pioneer Day, some Latter-day Saints walk portions of the Mormon Trail or reenact entering the Salt Lake Valley by handcart. Latter-day Saints throughout the United States and around the world may celebrate July 24 in remembrance of the LDS Church's pioneer era, with songs, dances, potlucks, and pioneer related activities.
While the holiday has strong links to the LDS Church, it is officially a celebration of everyone, regardless of faith and nationality, who emigrated to the Salt Lake Valley during the pioneer era, which is generally considered to have ended with the 1869 arrival of the transcontinental railroad. Notable non-LDS American pioneers from this period include Episcopal Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle, who was responsible for Utah's first non-Mormon schools (Rowland Hall-St. Mark's) and first public hospital (St. Mark's) in the late 1800s. The Intertribal Powwow at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City honors the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the area's Native Americans, helping Utahns to gain a deeper understanding of the region's history
The earliest precursor to Pioneer Day celebrations in Utah occurred on July 24, 1849, when the Nauvoo Brass Band led a commemoration of the second anniversary of the Latter-day Saints entering the Salt Lake Valley.
The first celebration of Pioneer Day in 1857 was interrupted with news of the approach of Johnston's Army, heralding the beginning of the Utah War. During the following occupation of the Utah Territory by federal troops, Pioneer Day was not celebrated. Once President Abraham Lincoln initiated a hands-off policy on Utah in 1862 during the American Civil War Pioneer Day was once again observed, and expanded into the surrounding areas as the Mormon Corridor spread throughout the Intermountain West. In 1880, Latter-day Saints commemorated the Golden Jubilee of the church's formal organization in 1830; tens of thousands of people in hundreds of communities participated in very enthusiastic festivities.
In the years that followed, federal enforcement efforts of anti-polygamy laws (including the 1882 Edmunds Act) resulted in greatly subdued celebrations. The 1886 commemoration was particularly notable for its mourning theme, with the Salt Lake Tabernacle decorated in black instead of the usually colorful bunting, and the eulogizing of Latter-day Saints who were in hiding or imprisoned for polygamy offenses. By 1897, the celebration included not only the 50th anniversary of the initial arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, but also the end of the polygamy issue, the completion of the Salt Lake Temple, and statehood for Utah.
The centennial in 1947 and the sesquicentennial in 1997 were especially large celebrations in Utah. One writer indicated that the 1947 celebrations seemed to incorporate the entire year, with July 24 only being an apex to the events.
The holiday generates a great deal of road traffic; Utah Department of Public Safety statistics demonstrate that Pioneer Day has the second highest holiday traffic fatality rate in Utah, with the earlier July 4 Independence Day having the highest rate.
The holiday has received criticism for its lack of inclusiveness for non-Mormons. Many local residents in the counter-culture celebrate with the alternative Pie & Beer Day.
