“Great place with great beer! I really appreciate that there is a description of the type of beer next to its name on the board. It's clear that the people who run this place are passionate about what they do. There was live music and a rustic comfortable atmosphere. It has its own parking lot and ample street parking due to a great location. Looking forward to frequenting Chappell Brewing many more times! Oh... And the artwork is impeccable. It's clear they have good taste!“

“Was looking for a quick place to eat near the airport while in town and stumbled across this gem!
Tried the Nomad burger. Honestly thought a burger with salt and vinegar chips on it would be odd, but this is one of the best burgers I’ve had. And the beer is amazing! Has the Golden Spike Hefeweizen and could not be happier. Austin and Taylor were friendly and attentive.
If you’re in the area, don’t miss this place.“

Was visiting for a conference and had great conversation, plus she knew everything about every beer offered, so my tasters were tailored to perfection. ;) The actual bar area could use some updating to match the vibe of the place (plus make it easier for staff to go between front room/bar), but otherwise, wonderful experience!“

“Really good suds, inclusive atmosphere, downtown setting, super friendly staff! Visited as a Harvest Host member and was treated with great hospitality. Utah is weird about the beer but no worries here at SF they can the good stuff and give ya a tall glass to enjoy their craft suds. Takeout brewskis are available as well so you can take home a sample. As a traveler far from home (FL) it’s always appreciated when you’re made to feel welcome. The fellas working were professional and fun to chat with. Dog friendly in the outdoors seating area. Thanks for having us and highly recommend a visit to SF!“

“My friend Mike McCardell, a man of simple pleasures, lived for the lip-smacking tartness of a good sour beer. And the sours from Shades Brewing, with their funky, complex flavors born from wild fermentation and barrel-aging, were his absolute favorite.

But Mike, a generous soul with a soft spot for stray animals, had one weakness: his beloved dog, Riley. A mischievous mutt with a penchant for chaos, Riley was the apple of Mike's eye, despite his tendency to chew furniture and chase squirrels up the curtains.

One sunny afternoon, while Mike was enjoying a glass of Shades' "Peach cobbler" on his porch, disaster struck. Riley, in a fit of canine curiosity, snuck into Mike's study. Papers flew, pens were chewed, and in a moment of sheer, unadulterated chaos, Riley managed to transfer all of Mike's funds into a dubious online venture promising to turn squirrels into diamonds.

The venture, predictably, went bust. Mike, blissfully unaware of his impending financial doom, was happily humming along to the birdsong, contemplating the delicate balance of brettanomyces and lactobacillus in his beer.

It wasn't until he received a rather stern letter from his bank, informing him of his newfound zero-balance status, that the gravity of the situation hit him. Shades Brewing, his sanctuary of sour satisfaction, was suddenly out of reach.
Dejected but determined, Mike refused to let his love for sours be squashed by Riley's financial shenanigans.

He knew he had to take drastic measures to save both his beloved brewery and his furry friend from being relegated to a diet of kibble and tap water.
With a heavy heart, Mike approached the stoic brewmaster of Shades Brewing, and confessed his predicament. known for the brew masters sharp wit and even sharper sours, surprised Mike with a hearty laugh.

"A dog, you say? Took all your money for a squirrel-to-diamond scheme? Well, that's a new one!" the brew master chuckled.
Seeing the genuine despair in Mike's eyes, the brew master, who secretly harbored a soft spot for the man and his unwavering dedication to the brews, offered him a deal.

"You work for me," they proposed, "learn the craft, help me brew the sourest, funkiest concoctions this side of the kingdom, and your tab at Shades will be forever cleared.

Mike, overwhelmed with gratitude, accepted with fervor. He threw himself into the art of sour brewing, mastering the delicate dance of wild yeasts and bacteria under the brew masters watchful eye. He scrubbed barrels, cleaned equipment, and even volunteered to taste-test the most experimental brews, his taste buds tingling with the thrill of each new flavor.

News of Mike's situation spread through the land, drawing in curious patrons and fellow sour enthusiasts. They flocked to Shades Brewing, eager to witness the man who had lost his fortune to a squirrel-diamond scheme.

Mike, with his infectious enthusiasm and newfound brewing knowledge, became a local legend. He even started incorporating foraged ingredients into his creations, inspired by Riley's adventurous spirit (and frequent forays into the local woods).

One day, Mike unveiled his masterpiece: "Riley's Ruin," a sour ale bursting with unexpected flavors, a testament to his resilience and the chaotic charm of his canine companion. The beer was a sensation, attracting even the attention of a wealthy duchess with a penchant for exotic pets and sour ales.

Impressed by Mike's story and the unique brew, the brew master invested a small fortune in Shades Brewing, ensuring its future and securing Mike's position as resident brewer and sour aficionado.

And so, Mike McCardell, the man who lost his fortune thanks to a mischievous mutt, became the savior of Shades Brewing“
