When City Weekly started the first ever Utah Beer Festival in 2010, they had no idea what it might turn into. They knew is that Utah had lots of beer drinkers and it was high time an event was created just for them. What they know now is that Utah has lots more beer drinkers than we ever imagined. All these years in, they've grown from 10 vendors pouring just over 50 beers to what will be a record number of vendors--over 70--pouring over 250 beers. What was a very new industry in 2010 has now emerged as one the increasingly vital segments of the Utah economy, not just from selling beer, but also from creating local jobs and broadly supporting the many Utah farmers who supply the industry.
