Talisman Brewing Company

 

I regularly make day trips of 110mi to come here, so I may be biased (or my experiences are just that good)

As you walk in there are two large coolers full of their 22oz bomber bottles, cans and crowlers available to go as well as a full wall of merch.

The establishment is humble but I'd say well loved and takes a lot of pride in itself. Actual bar seating is very small. Maybe 6 seats. But there are several tables and outdoor seating. Typically a food truck is there parked outside as well.

Bar staff are great, and always willing to chat beer with me, fill several crowlers and just talk about the funky town Ogden is.

Tap list is about 12 or so beers, split between their core line and seasonal offerings.

Highly recommend stopping by if in the greater SLC area

This is a small spot, a few minutes north of downtown Ogden. Parking freely available. Hey, you are in Utah....

I made it by just a few minutes of closing and Im glad I did.

Tasty cans and bottles to go or consume on sight. All sorts of styles, from lager, to IPA to stouts. About 10-12 on draft on sight. Friendly women behind the counter. I tried a few cans/bottles during my stay in town, all solid....worth a visit if in town

Cool little spot not too far off the highway. Small service bar just inside the entrance with a half dozen tables to the left of the bar and some counter seating adjacent to the fermenter. There is also a little patio area in front, but the Adirondack chairs are uncomfortably laid back. 11 beers on tap, had the Spindrift, which was very nice. Friendly bartender.

 

 

 

this is not really a bar, perhaps you can taste beer on tours, but there is not an option here to sit down and drink a beer, and we did not take the tour. its more of a little to go shop with the brewery in the back. the space is designed to sell bottles and do growler fills, its small and humble, new looking, comfortable, and seemingly family run, but it must be utah law thats prohibiting the from serving pints there, which is disappointing, maybe its in the works? i think you have to have food or something for that to be legal. all the beer i from these guys was solid, both in bottles and on draft. the hazards ipa is enormous but quite good, and the scottish ale was also a pleasant surprise. they all have pretty cool artwork as well, earthy and colorful and attractive, home made looking. worth stopping by to fill the jugs or grab some bombers, but dont come here expecting to be able to have a beer. hopefully that will change for them, there is some room out front where a patio would look pretty nice...

edit: you can drink here now! they opened up a little taproom area thats pretty cool, right adjacent to the tanks, small but with an open feel, some high tops and some picnic tables, even a food truck out front when we were in. they had a firkin going too which was cool, but just the core lower alcohol beers on tap aside from that. its neat you can have a pint or two in here now, a way better experience, and the beer keeps getting better...
