Salt Lake County issued a stay-at-home order (full PDF) that took effect on March 30 and continues through at least April 13. It’s another effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.
The order shuts down all non-essential businesses and directs individuals to limit their trips outside.
As you know, Utah breweries, bars, and restaurants have been shut down for dine-in service since March 16. Many are offering beer and food to-go.

Utah Breweries: The Latest
Here are a few items of note:
- RoHa Brewing Project is releasing Transom Dark Pale Ale (5% ABV) in cans on April 3. “It’s a piney, hop-forward beer with a dark roasted malt build that comes in dark, but not black,” says Rob Phillips, RoHa co-founder.
- Bohemian Brewery, which previously suspended operations, reopened on March 30 to sell beer and food to-go. Canned beer and a select to-go menu are available for pickup. In addition, Bohemian released its seasonal Kölsch. Hours 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- To bring some mid-week cheer, Roosters Brewing is debuting its newest beer on April 1. High Desert Hazy is a Session Hazy IPA hopped with New Zealand Southern Cross hops. The 5% ABV beer will be available to go at all three Roosters locations. It will find its way into grocery in the coming weeks.
- SaltFire couldn’t wait for the calendar to say it’s summer. Summer Camp Crush, its New England Style IPA, became available on March 31. Hours: 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- 2 Row Brewing released a new Hazy IPA — Quarantine Buddy — earlier this week. The 6.8% ABV beer features Idaho 7 and Citra hops. A Triple IPA will follow the week after, according to owner Brian Coleman.
- Many breweries throughout the world — and at least T.F. Brewing locally — will be participating in All Together. It’s a program in which breweries brew a specific beer with proceeds earmarked to support hospitality professionals. You might remember breweries — including Uinta and Salt Flats — did something similar to support California’s Camp Fire Relief Efforts.
