Epic Brewing Company

David Cole and Peter Erickson are the founders and co-owners of Epic Brewing Company. Cole and Erickson, originally from California, started an international aquaculture company in Utah in 1992. In 2008, Utah law changed allowing these two entrepreneurs to pursue their longtime dream of opening a strong beer microbrewery in Utah, like those they frequented in the Golden State. Admittedly, beer gee

ks, foodies, and "Epic" adventure junkies, share a passion for making and drinking fine ales and lagers. Our Breweries: Salt Lake City, Denver & Telegraph
Epic Brewing Company opened in Salt Lake City, Utah with six fermentation tanks giving it the flexibility to create a variety of small-batch, artisanal beer. Within a few short months, Epic began earning medals for its beers domestically and internationally. The beer became a big hit with locals and out-of-state visitors alike and demand quickly increased. The brewery currently houses eight times its original fermentation space. In 2013, Epic expanded its brewery operations into Colorado by opening a second brewery in the River North district of downtown Denver. The Denver brewery offered enough space to support growing national distribution, expansion of the popular barrel-aged beer program, and the introduction of a line of sour beers. Along with these improvements, the addition of a “proper” tap room featuring 25 taps was a long awaited realization, allowing Epic to feature its substantial beer selection on draught. Despite the rapid expansion and increase in production volume, Epic Brewing has stayed committed to its founding principle of small-batch, artisanal beer. Every batch released in the Elevated and Exponential series is numbered, stamped, and release information is published online. Currently brewing 39 plus beers Epic believes there is a beer for every person and every occasion. In 2018 Dave and Peter purchased Telegraph Brewing Company, a well-respected Santa Barbara brewery. Telegraph’s addition to the Epic family was seen by Dave as coming full circle back to the place that originally inspired his love for craft beer. Epic Brewing brews over 60 distinct brands of beer, many of them award-winning and is distributed in 25 states as well as internationally.
