I think we can all agree that any wine store in Utah isn't going to have the most extensive…read moreselection of wines. It's no Lee's or Total Wine, but it'll do. 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. Every time I read the label/price tag for a bottle I was excited about (specifically because of the vintage/year), I would pick the actual bottle up to find out that the year was different than it should have been. 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. It took much longer to shop than it should have because I was searching for SOMETHING that was labeled correclty.

It's like a little mini warehouse of wine. Not only is the selection pretty fantastic, but the employees really know their stuff! I went in looking for a very specific bottle of wine, and they actually carried the kind of wine I was looking for. The stores inventory is eclectic enough to find what you're looking for and the prices are pretty great! I bought two beautiful bottles of wine that came highly recommended for under $40 combined. Needless to say dinner, that evening was perfectly paired with a bottle of Sangiovese.

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.

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!

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.

Nearly everything is made by hand. It's tiny. When you are at the Liquor store and see their product, you never realize what a tiny passionate place you are purchasing from. I don't want to give any hints that their products are any lesser quality than our local better funded places. At the end of the day, it's the product that goes out the door, and they make excellent product. We caught Creed at a good time and he spent as much time as we wanted to answer questions. It was a great visit.

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!
