Their grand opening was this weekend, and they supplied some great food. It was a joy to meet Alan and Julia Scott. Julia was finishing up some bottling and answer some questions about the stills and distilling process.Alan was doing the tastings. His website does a better job than I saying what he's doing. "We've discovered a rich vein of pre-Prohibition herbal spirits, bitters and LONG LOST liqueurs. We intend to mine these recipes for flavor gold." That's really true. I don't love all of them, but I can appreciate how well done they are. That said, I love the special release high molasses Rum. I bought all they would sell me. It tastes right to me. There's a lot of rum around town, but they are made with either all cane sugar, or mostly cane sugar. That makes a really clean tasting rum, but removes a lot of character. I'm in love with a place that's making alcohol with a twist. I also like that they use two labels. Anything with Waterpocket on it is 100% distilled and created in their facility. We have some pretty big names around town that do not do that. They purchase already distilled base and blend/complete/modify it to meet their needs. Alan is completely up front. If he's completing a product, no matter how good it is, and he didn't do 100% of it, he labels it with Robbers Roost. I left with bottles of both labels because the Robbers Roost light whiskey was excellent.

"we've discovered a rich vein of pre-prohibition herbal spirits, bitters, and lost liqueurs. We…read moreintend to mine these recipes for flavor gold." and that they have!! Waterpocket is hands down the most innovative, creative distillery in Utah. Alan and Ana are changing the landscape of craft cocktails in Utah by introducing new flavors, ingredients, and twists to familiar liquors that will spice up any cocktail. It is apparent that both Alan and Ana are beyond passionate about what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. My personal favorites are their Robber's Roost Light Whiskey and their Long Lost Eau de Melisse. I am not a gin fan, but their Eau de Melisse is a great substitute and is great with tonic. I would highly recommend a trip to their distillery to learn about their process and ingredients from Alan himself and to taste the variety of liquors, bitters, and spirits they have available. You'll likely discover tastes you've never encountered before. You can purchase all of their spirits directly from the distillery and can find a smaller variety of them at your local State liquor store. Their liquors and spirits are also making their way into local bars, restaurants, and they have even been at local events such as Made in Utah lately. Highly, highly recommend checking them out!

It's hard not to give any of our fine fraternity of distilleries less than 5 stars. Even when they…read moredon't make my preferred spirits, they are doing a great service to the community and State. I'm all about traditional cocktails. That means that the drink has a primary alcohol that you taste. Vodka is designed so you don't taste it. Outside of the Vesper, there's isn't really any cocktail I make that uses Vodka, and the Vesper requires 100 proof Vodka. Why write all this? It explains why I've not made the pilgrimage here before. They are most known for their Vodka. I had an excellent visit with the owner. He's a great guy making things he likes. The Vodka exceeds what I think Vodka should, or shouldn't as the case may be, taste like. It's right there with any of the super premium Vodkas you are thinking of. Their Vanilla Caramel Vodka was a hit with the wife who will be using it in Coffee rather than Baileys on the weekend. I bought a Vodka and the flavored one too. With WaterPocket nearby to visit at the same time, this is a great place to visit.

Got a couple schnitts thinking i could quickly chug a couple beers before my flight since it is half oven and half liquid. However, it was quite a hefty poor and very enjoyable. I got the kolsch and helles lager and both were easy and crushable. Very delicious and clean. Also got a taster of the Pilsner and that was as well easily crushable and clean. The german beers here are one of the best and phenomenal. I can't get enough. The IPA is here are solid as well. Great vibes has TV with sports and a lot of seating and outdoors as well. The only issue I have unfortunately at this visit was I was trying to grab a glass to take home with me. However, there was a huge line for people to get carded so the front desk guy wanted to card them in first. That was understandable as that created a huge line and backed up the front door. However, someone came behind me with cans so he let them pay first and by the time they finish paying, more people were coming in to get carded. He decided to card them instead of letting me purchase a glass . So at that time I had just left instead of waiting for the continuous cycle of getting carded I'm having to further wait. Hopefully when things are busy, they will have someone to help out carting people in. Otherwise fantastic brewery.

I have been a fan of their Big Bad Baptist series since I had my very first one at the now defunct ATX Flying Saucer on 11/11/15! So when I walked into their unassuming tasting room, I had one mission: to try every available adjunct of BBB! And, OMG was I not disappointed! My BBB tasting spree here is what Craft BeerNerd dreams are made of, and mine came true! I came for the Big Bad Baptists, but stayed for the amazing staff and the awesome & engaging regulars. One of my favorite things in Life is bonding w/strangers that turn instant drinking buddies, and that it happened here over one of my fav beers made it that much more special!

I was actually fairly impressed with the selection here compared to the other state run stores (so you know...all of them), but what I was NOT impressed with was the mislabeling.

I realize this doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you know much about wine, you know that the year DEFINITELY matters. Update your labels, please.
