What they make

  • Greg Schirf founded Wasatch in 1986; in 1988 he pushed through the law that made brewpubs legal in Utah and opened the state's first at the top of Park City's Main Street.[1]
  • Best known for Polygamy Porter; it is the official beer of Ski Utah and was brewed with Squatters at the Utah Brewers Cooperative in Salt Lake City.[2][1]
  • Monster Brewing, which owns the brand, closed that brewery in May 2025 and moved Wasatch production to its breweries outside Utah; the beers are still sold in Utah stores.[3]

Visiting

  • The Wasatch brewpubs belong to a separate company, Salt Lake Brewing Co., which renamed them Squatters Pubs in late 2025; the Sugar House pub on Highland Drive carries on under that name.[4][5]
  • The original Top of Main brewpub in Park City, where Wasatch opened in 1986, closed in spring 2026.[6]

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[9]; anything else comes from a state liquor store.
