Founded:

Peter Cole and Jeff Polychronis, co-owners of Salt Lake Brewing Company, have followed the rise of American brew pubs since the trend began in 1984.

Friends and business associates since the late 1970′s when both worked in real estate in Park City, the pair undertook a yearlong crawl, visiting more than 40 brew pubs throughout the West.

With a swill and a swallow and after many nights of great appreciation of good beer, they decided it was time that Salt Lake City had a microbrewery of its own.
