Epic has been on my brewery bucketlist for awhile, so when I found myself in SLC for the day (after…read morehitting up the Bonneville SaltFlats), I knew I had to make the most of this opportunity! 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 cannot rec stopping in here enough, whether you're a local, passing through, or doing an SLC beer pilgrimage; either way the experience will be EPIC!

I paired my meal with the Pico Loco beer, a crisp and refreshing Mexican-style lager that was perfect for the warm weather and one of my favorite styles of beer. Apparently, I was lucky enough to get the VERY LAST Bacon Pepper Jacked Burger before it comes off the menu, and honestly, it was hands down the best bar burger I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, loaded with flavor, and just messy enough to let you know it was done right. My wife and I also shared the Hoppy Blues salad, which may very well have been the best "bar salad" we've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you normally expect from pub food. Fantastic food, great beer, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

We got the Currywurst and Fries and The Reuben with Pastrami. They also had a few mustards you could add to your food - both delicious. A brewery is the last place I would expect German food, but here we are! They also have a great selection of beer to choose from. The staff here are super nice and welcoming, and the space is very well-kept and spacious. It's good for bigger groups and plenty of parking space out front. Go check them out!

It's some combination of self-serve and maybe table service. I guess if you're in a hurry, you can self serve. Either way, the food was good and they had a great selection of beers on tap (the main reason we went here, anyway). It was a little loud, but mostly because it was friendly. Get the sausage sampler, but be very hungry or ready to share, it was a lot!

For those familiar with the PNW chain, Squatters feels like the Utah equivalent of McMenamins, in a…read morecertain way: certainly not in quirkiness, style or ambiance (of which they could not be further apart), but in their ubiquity - it seems like they're everywhere, even though there are only four(?) of them. We visited at least two, during our four days in SLC. This one was the first: a cathedral-style brewpub with a sports bar aesthetic, with decent food, decent drinks, decent service, and decent prices. Everything was decent. You're not likely to be disappointed by anything you order, but you're not likely to be blown away by anything, either (another thing Squatters has in common with McMenamins, I'd say). During our second visit (to another location, but I'm sure the same rule applies), our party was only interested in ordering drinks (one per person, mind you), but we were informed that we *had* to order some sort of food to accompany them (I'm sure this is more of a Utah thing, rather than a Squatter's thing, but still annoying), so bear that in mind if you're looking for a place to just chill with a beverage and watch a game. Still, the vibe here is lively and friendly; assuming your server is as well, which was a coin flip, in our experience. For a fast, casual chain of brewpubs, Squatters has a lot going for it, and I can see why they are popular, as clearly as I can see ways in which they can improve. A little more focus, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, and Squatters could absolutely dominate in SLC, and beyond.

Ordering was kind of confusing because you had to wait in line instead of just walking up to the bar. One of the bartenders quickly explained it to us so we got in line. The line moved very quickly. Once we ordered our first beers, we sat at the bar and our bartender then took the rest of our orders while seated there. It seemed like once you ordered and established your seats, you could get waited on at your table but you had to order through the line first. There were 3 or 4 bartenders covering the bar and all the various seating areas. Our bartender was very attentive and we never had empty glasses before she was asking if we wanted another round. There was one time where she got side tracked and there was a very slight delay in bringing the next round for my wife and she profusely apologized and comped that round, but we didn't even notice the delay, to be honest. All the beers were great and the handmade pretzel from a place down the street was delicious. The tasting notes on their menu were spot on for the 5 or 6 beers we tried. They have a lot of seating in the main area and large patio in the back that were both pretty crowded, which is why we sat at the bar. We later found out about their "barrel room" that is in the back behind all the brewing equipment. One of the bar backs said it was a more laidback and quiet area. We peaked back there before we left and had we known about it, we would have sat back there because it's exactly like how it was described. Even with the large crowd we had a great time and it never seemed crowded with the speed of service we got.

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.

My buddies seemed to enjoy their beers also. I think it's Utah law, so I think anything over 5% abv has to be in a can. They also charge for samplers here. I believe the worker said it was $2? You can order food from next door at Proper Burger and they will deliver it to you. I got a mushroom Swiss burger and it was pretty good. They have a bunch of other types of burgers and my buddies also enjoyed their burgers, fries, and onion rings. This place also has several TVs, pinball machines, skeeball, and pool tables. They also have a little store where you can purchase beer and other Proper Brewing items. Because it wasn't busy at all, we were able to enjoy a few beers and our burgers and were able to hang out and talk for a while. Not sure how it is when it is really busy, but it's a cool spot to get a drink and some food and hang out for a while without being bothered or asked to leave.

If you're looking for food, they have a few apps/snacks. Decent amount of parking in the front and along side of the brewery.
