Pie N Beer day 2021 – what’s on

The Beehive’s official birthday is here once again, and with it, the most important pairing of the year – pie and beer. Confused newcomers to Utah, just say Pioneer Day over and over real quick in your head and you’ll get it…

Ordinarily, downtown’s Beer Bar is the epicenter of the party, but this year the bar has cancelled proceedings, amidst C19 concerns. In their absence a number of others are still holding smaller events. In alphabetical order then, here’s what’s going on this weekend.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC.  I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City  dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV.   Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.    I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.   What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
