On DABS's Proudly Utah list as Hopkins Brewing (brewery, 1048 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84106). Sources read October 11, 2026.

What they make

  • Opened in 2018 by Sugar House native Chad Hopkins; the house beers rotate and the menu leans on local ingredients.[1]
  • Recent taps include an annual pumpkin-pie chocolate stout and lagers made with locally malted grain.[2]

Visiting

  • Licensed as a bar, so it is 21+ and you don't have to order food; there is live music and a brunch menu.[1][2]
  • Also pours local spirits, ciders, coffee and kombucha.[1]

Bottles to go

Their own sources don't say whether they sell bottles or cans to go. Ask before you go.

Utah lets a brewery, winery or distillery sell its own packaged products on site through a “Type 5” package agency[6]; anything else comes from a state liquor store.

What locals say

  • City Weekly readers placed it third for best brewpub in 2025.[3]
