Celebrate Pie N Beer Day this July 24th via these two events

Update 7.00 p.m. July 18th. Sadly this one has just been cancelled. Organizers on Instagram confirmed, “Dear Pioneers of Pie & Beer, In the last 72 hours, we’ve encountered some unforeseen and unsolvable logistical and safety issues that have caused us to pause over whether or not we can provide you the people with a Pie and Beer Day experience that you’ve come to expect and deserve. After talking with our partners at the Beer Bar and exhausting all of our options, we’ve decided it is in everyone’s best interest to cancel Pie and Beer Day 2024 and immediately start planning Pie and Beer Day 2025. It’s not an easy decision, but it’s the right decision.” Scroll down for one more big event though. For reference, here is the original information on the event:

Original post: Back for an impressive tenth installment this Pioneer Day, the Beer Bar (161 East 200 South) hosted celebration of Utah’s big holiday. Billed as the “world’s largest assemblage of pie and beer”, a swathe of Utah’s best brewers and bakers gather to serve up sweet and savory pies, alongside locally brewed suds.

$25 will secure you one “pie pass”, good for five pairings of pie and beer. Organizers estimate that more than 8,000 slices of pie will be served up alongside twenty different brews in 2024. Speaking of which the current listing of participants is as follows:

• 2 Row Brewing
• Beer Bar

The event starts at noon and runs through 4.00 p.m. Tickets are available on-site. Proceeds from the day will benefit the downtown farmer’s market and the Utah Brewers Guild.

Joining the festivities this year is the all-new “Pioneer Trail: A Pie & Beer Day Pub Crawl”. Offered as a cross-town crawl, organizers suggest Trax as the best way to tackle all the spots on the suggested route. Sugar House Quarters is listed as the ultimate destination for revelers, the bar offering patrons $5 off pizza. For those who make it to four stops along the route, there’ll be the chance to enter an opportunity prize draw at 10 p.m. too.

The crawl has six major stops that attendees can visit at their own speed, again with a defined start and end point. The lineup reads as follows:

• The Ruin (start point)
• Quarters Arcade Bar Downtown
• The Pearl
• Water Witch
• Bar Nohm
• Quarters Arcade Bar Sugar House (end point)

The event starts at 4.00 p.m. and runs through 11.00 p.m. Tickets are priced at $5 per person, and the event is 21+ only.

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”.
