Utah Breweries

Inspired by the ancient beer brewing traditions of Bohemia, which date back to the 1200s, Bohemian Brewery is a locally owned and operated an establishment in Midvale that creates European-style lagers. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Bavarian brewer Josef Groll, who created the first batches of fresh pilsner lager using age-old techniques in 1842, Bohemian Brewery owner Czechoslovakian Joe Petras used his knowledge and skill of conventional European Lager brewing to produce delicious lagers. Bohemian Brewery’s wide selection of draft beers and bottled beers are made from traditional recipes and are available at local bars and pubs, and at state liquor stores.
