Beer Festival features local brews | Events

SALT LAKE CITY - Local brews were the focus at the third annual Salt Lake City's Beer Festival, sponsored by City Weekly.

This year's festival was held at the Gallivan Center for the first time, but the location isn't the only thing that's new this year.

"We've opened it up to regional brewers this year so the biggest thing you can expect is more beer than ever before," said Lauren Sisneros, marketing coordinator for City Weekly.

There are 88 different beers to sample this year from across the western US, as well as good and merchandise available for purchase.
