Distilleries in Utah

The Pub Spirits + Craft Kitchen

Cedar City, Utah

Cedar City, Utah – an ordinary dot that somehow decided it wanted to be extraordinary. The Pub Spirits + Craft Kitchen claims to bring “traditional meets craft” to the locals, but it delivers the opposite: pure, unpretentious hospitality.

• Distillery produces a unique baked potato soup.
• Loaded fries feature crispy beef and chos.

Ogden's Own Distillery

Ogden, Utah

Ogden’s Own Distillery opened its doors in 2009, converting a 32,000-sq-ft warehouse into a bastion of clean, mountain-spring whisky right under the Wasatch range. The water is pure enough that the spirit feels more like a sigh than a marketing pitch.

• Distillery's handcrafted cocktails are exceptional.
• Unique spirits like huckleberry whiskey available.

Alpine Distilling Social Aid & Pleasure Club

Park City, Utah

Park City, Utah – a place where snow can double as backdrop for a proper drink. Here the Alpine Distilling Social Aid & Pleasure Club turns that illusion into substance.

• Unique flavored alcohol sets apart cocktails.
• Cozy intimate spaces amidst dark atmosphere.

New World Distillery

Eden, Utah

In Eden, Utah, an absurd desert outpost defies every stereotype with a distillery that turns agave into something that smells like ambition rather than stale beer. New World Distillery is the solitary local place where blue-agave vodka gets a 100 % organic badge while a gin, fermented in vermouth barrels, and an apple brandy that reeks of high-altitude pine are the real absolutely brilliant show-stoppers. Tours are run by the founder himself — chap who graces every step with dog Diego, who apparently moonlights as PR — giving you a lesson on everything from mash to mash. The tasting room mimics a caravan lodge, cosy enough for a campfire but smug enough that whiskey sits as if it had a better plan than yours. The menu covers smooth vodkas, limited-edition gins, and apple spirits that capture Wasatch pride. Interactive guides, quality products, and a space that feels like the only place in the desert worth staying.

• Interactive and informative distillery tours.
• A wide range of spirits for sampling, including unique flavors.

Alpine Distilling

Park City, Utah

Alpine Distilling sits smack in the snow-saturated sprawl of Park City, Utah – a pint-sized refuge run by botanical conquerors Colonel Robert Sergent and wife Sara, a legend in the field. Together they’ve turned mountain air into liquid gold, winning the dubious honour of “Gin of the Year” for their gin and a 98-point triple-oak whisky that would make a stoic whisky-snob blush.

• Unique liquors with lounge vibes.
• Gracious hosts share their distillery's backstory.

Proverbial Spirits

Park City, Utah

Park City, Utah – a snow-blown playground where Proverbial Spirits refuses to be polite about its ale-like ambitions. Their gin, “No Rest for the Wicked,” cloaks a blood-orange punch in a barrel of botanicals that would make a barista swoon. Rum, “Loose Lips Sink Ships,” drapes itself in silky sweet-cane, so slippery it could have a passport. Vodka comes straight from spring water so pure it could give a glacier a run for its money.

• Distillery features small-batch production methods.
• Uses natural ingredients in products.

Moab, Utah

• Unique pretzel recipe with a twist
