The Story

Bewilder Brewing Co. opened in Salt Lake City on December 13 2019. In a transition from owning/running Salt City Brew Supply and Ogden City Brew Supply, Cody McKendrick and Ross Metzger wanted to continue sharing their love of craft beer and education by opening a brewery. Starting on a shoe string budget and facing one of the biggest external challenges to the hospitality industry in decades, Bewilder Brewing has stayed committed to making craft beer, and hand made sausages. Here are some of the stories about Bewilder, what we are doing, and where we hope to go. We couldn't have come this far without all of our friends, family, and of course, wonderful customers!
