Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”
Episode 148 we were so excited to join Kelly Schaefer at Bohemian Brewing to find out more about the brewery and their community involvement. Kelly told us that his one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah would be obvious and that is to go to a Czech brewery. Kelly also said take time to go to one of Utah’s cultural festivals and one of our Chinese restaurants.

Episode 148 we had the opportunity to join Master Brewer, Brian as well as cohorts, Marketing director Kelly and Will on-site at Bohemian Brewery! After a tour through their production and a history lesson of lager vs ale, we got to sit down and talk about how Bohemian started and where they plan to be headed in the near future!

Founded in 2001 by immigrants from the Czech Republic, Joe and Helen came over to America and to Utah, with a dream and immediately got to work. Helen and Joe had many other odd and ends jobs once they got to Utah, and even opened another restaurant before creating Bohemian Brewery. Which came first? The restaurant or the brewery? Well, they actually came together! Fast forward to today, the beer is still being brewed how the old world would care for their beer. We asked Kelly and Brian how they would describe the Bohemian, and they said “central European soul food.” One thing that sets Bohemian Brewery apart from other craft brewers is they have always had pride in their brewery by not chasing new trends and not trying to rewrite recipes that are tried and true. Something else that sets Bohemian apart from many craft brewers is the relationships and partnerships they have built with local Utah businesses by creating events and brews, such as their Brewski for Ski Utah.
One of the events that they pride themselves on is the Tour De Brewtah! This year celebrates the 10th anniversary of Bohemian Brewery’s, Tour De Brewtah. What is a Tour De Brewtah you ask? You thought right, it involves bikes and beers! Think of it as a massive pub crawl that you are biking to each location. This years theme is out of this world and with 20+ brewers/distillers/and cider-meisters, they promise a cosmic experience. With 10 unique brew-tour routes throughout the city, the event will launch from & return to The Gateway Plaza in downtown SLC on Saturday, May the 4th from 10:30am–7pm. Click on the photo below to visit each location on the registration page. It will guide you through each tour route and which bar/beverage is on that stop! The event at the Gateway is also family friendly, aka all ages welcome!
If you can’t make it to the Tour De Brewtah, but you have a love for home brewing save the date of May 5th for Lagerpalooza! Put on by Bohemian Brewery and Salt City Brew Supply, it is a local competition for home brewers to earn a chance to brew at Bohemian! It is also a great space for networking.
