“We’re excited to return to The Gateway for the 14th installment of the Utah Beer Festival,” said Pete Saltas, publisher of City Weekly, the host and sponsor of the festival. “Our 2022 festival was a great success at The Gateway, so we’re excited to be back. We learned Utahns want to come together and enjoy the final days of summer with great food, music and of course, beer. Nearly all of Utah’s fine breweries will be serving their unique, award-winning beers.
The festival will incorporate existing businesses on the property to enhance the attendee experience. The Depot will have shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday that our attendees can enjoy; Flanker Kitchen and Sporting Club is hosting our VIP; Seabird is going to create beer and cocktail specials around the festival’s brewery partners; The Bruce Scottish Pub will have some food specials for attendees; and the Urban Arts Gallery will have an installation on the festival grounds.
“We are thrilled to welcome back the Utah Beer Festival to The Gateway. It’s an ideal location to sample brews with our ample outdoor gathering areas and diverse array of merchants that provide additional offerings to guests, making the festival a well-rounded and more enticing experience,” said Julissa Breslin, The Gateway’s director of marketing.
