The wood-fired oven at Emigration Brewing Co. in Emigration Canyon
Established 2019

Our Story

A rustic, modern and upscale food and beverage experience, built in a canyon with a brewing history older than the state itself.

The Building

Raised in 1960.
Rebuilt for the canyon.

Emigration Brewing Company was founded in 2019 to create a rustic, modern and upscale food and beverage experience. Our building was originally built in 1960, and has been renovated to provide a minimalist modern mountain space and vibe.

We pay homage to the rich history of our location in Emigration Canyon, and the surrounding area, through an immersive dining experience. Dine indoors in our open-concept dining rooms full of original building aspects as well as newly renovated areas. When seasonally available, our creekside lower patio and treehouse-like upper patio connect our guests to the sights and sounds of nature in the canyon.

The Kitchen

Traditional methods,
mountain influence.

Our rotating food menus are inspired by seasonally available ingredients. We partner with local and regional growers to create the best possible dishes. From fresh and sustainable seafood to traditional Italian ingredients, our staff strives for perfection with every bite.

We honor traditional cooking methods through our wood-fired ovens and add our own mountain influence to each dish. Neapolitan-style inspired pizzas and a rustic modern take on seafood and steak dishes are our specialties. We offer four seasonal menus per year, complemented by monthly specials.

The Bar

We don’t pour
anything generic.

We have partnered with many different local breweries, distilleries and coffee roasters to create our unique drink menus. Offering locally brewed beer, distilled spirits and freshly roasted coffee, we are able to create a craft drink experience to remember.

Our taps are filled with rotating craft beers. Our cocktails are inspired by those of historical measure, updated with a modern twist. Our thoughtfully curated wine selection provides something for everybody. Our freshly roasted coffee beans yield the perfect cup to enjoy with, or after, your meal.

A Little Known Fact

Utah’s first brewery stood at this canyon mouth.

In 1865, Henry Wagener founded the state’s first brewery at the mouth of Emigration Canyon. It became the largest brewery west of the Mississippi, producing upwards of 10,000 barrels of beer per year.

We consider it our mission to celebrate that history through traditional and new craft beer styles — and to build on our love of canyon inspired dining.

A second home,
down the canyon.

Join us on our journey as we grow and expand to a second location in Holladay, where we are building a state-of-the-art restaurant, bar and taproom with our own microbrewery. It is our mission to celebrate the rich brewing history of Utah through traditional and new craft beer styles.
