When you put auto racing, entrepreneurship, good ideas, a good company mission statement, and good people together you get Salt Flats Brewery!
Episode 141 we were invited to the beer garden, now to be known as the beer church, to record our show with JC Straub the marketing director/ manager of Garage Grill and the brewery, Denver Brady sales director, and Scott Parker master brewer.
It was incredibly humbling to be given a tour to see and learn the beginnings of a new flourishing brewery. From a small keg brewing kit to now almost a dozen vats! Owner and investor Steve Pruitt, former Utah auto racer, has taken his enthusiasm of racing and injected Salt Flats Brewery with that same energy and given the reigns to passionate people to run his vision! At any given time you will see a collection of his race cars at the brewery or at the Garage Grill. Master brewer Scott, brought his brewing knowledge from California and he is constantly working on creating new brews for Salt Flats. With 40 flavors under his belt, and 20 beers on tap at any given time, their top two and most favorite are the Hefeweizen German style and their high point double IPA. Salt Flats Brewery mission statement; to create a drinkable, approachable beer without trying to create crazy brews; while offering a basic “Bud drinker” something local. We think that they are achieving this to the highest standard even 2 years into their conception.
There are several ways to enjoy Salt Flats Brews. You can go to the industrial park and visit the beer garden *aka the beer church*, you can enjoy their brews at the Garage Grill in Draper, Toscano’s in Sandy, and in your local grocery/liquor store. With two new store franchise releases in March; Smiths Marketplace and Maverick Gas Stations there will be no shortage of enjoyment! Upcoming events for Salt Flats Brewing include; 16th of February Beard Competition at the Ice Haus in Murray, on 21st Brews and Bites, in partnership with the SL Culinary center are pairing tasty food with Salt Flats beer! March 23rd is the Utah Brewers Guild collaboration with other local brewers! You can find all of these events by following Salt Flats Brewing on their Facebook, Instagram, and of course their website.
