    Desert Edge Brewery

    Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

    We opened in 1972 serving Coors to college students. ย Weโ€™ve evolved, expanding our Trolley Squareย location numerous times enabling us to offer a large menu and a wide range of hand crafted beers. ย Back in the day when we added food to the equation, we were guided by the idea that there was no reason we couldnโ€™t cook at a high technical level and use only fresh ingredients. ย Back then, we were the exception, not the rule. ย Things have changed, now more restaurants are from scratch or say they are but we believe we do it better. ย Why? ย Most brewpubs seem to be guided by a โ€œcorporate mindsetโ€ which tends to error by cooking for the widest possible audience. ย Our approach is less formulaic, a little offbeat. ย Our core menu has evolved over the many years with thirty five year old favorites hanging on in addition to our more modern offerings.ย  We have a specials menu that changes bi-weekly. ย This supplemental menu allows us to explore current trends, continuing the tradition of trying to be in the forefront. In 1995, we expanded into the craft beer business. ย We won Utahโ€™s first GABF gold medal for our Happy Valley Hefeweizen and have won many medals since. ย We craft our beers to be a little more aggressive in terms of hops but maintain an appropriate balance for the many different styles we brew. ย Always on tap is an Irish dry stout on nitro, the hefeweizen, a pilsner and a pale ale. ย We offer ย seasonal beers, as well, that showcase nearly all styles.
