History

Uinta brewing company began brewing beer in the winter of 1993 in a renovated mechanics garage in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their flagship beer was Cutthroat Pale Ale, named after Utah's State Fish. This was followed by King's Peak Porter, named after Utah's highest peak, Golden Spike Hefeweizen, named after the spike used to commemorate the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which was completed in Utah, and Dubhe, named after the Utah Centennial star.

In 2001, Uinta became the first Utah company to be 100% wind powered. The company also began installing solar panels on the brewery's roof in 2011.

Financing and growth

In August 2014, Uinta announced that it sold a percentage of the company to New York-based private equity firm The Riverside Company for an undisclosed amount. Uinta CEO Will Hamill stated that the capital raised would be used to hire new employees, and expand beyond the Salt Lake City region.

Uinta has seen accelerated growth since 2012. Uinta stated that it sold 60,000 barrels of beer in 2013, and 77,000 barrels in 2014.

As of March 2015, Uinta beers are sold in 32 states and Washington, D.C.
