Overview
Uinta Brewing Company began its journey in 1993 from a small, renovated mechanic’s garage in Salt Lake City, UT. Named after the only major east-west running mountain range located in the continental U.S., Uinta has since expanded to a five-acre campus and earned a reputation for crafting exceptionally approachable, award-winning beers in a wide variety of styles and flavors. Throughout the brewery’s history, Uinta has been a leader in the use of renewable energy, becoming the first Utah company to rely solely on wind power as early as 2001. According to the latest Brewers Association data, Uinta is ranked as the 42nd largest U.S. craft brewery by volume. For more information, visit uintabrewing.com.
