Utah's craft beer scene operates under a 5% ABV draft cap, with Squatters, Wasatch, Uinta, Red Rock, Epic, TF, Fisher, Kiitos and Proper breweries producing pilsners, lagers, IPAs and stouts within the constraint.

Squatters Pub Brewery opened in 1989 as Utah's first post-Prohibition brewpub, breaking ground for the state's craft brewing renaissance. The 5% ABV draft limit (federal-stricter than the rest of the country) constrains the industry but spawned innovation in low-ABV beer styles. By 2026, 30+ breweries operate across Wasatch Front; the annual Utah Beer Festival at the Gateway draws 200+ beer pours and 50+ breweries.
