The Fisher Mansion Beer Garden returned to Salt Lake City's historic Albert Fisher Mansion after a two-year hiatus brought about by the 2020 earthquake. The event continues today from Noon to 8pm in Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Fisher Mansion Beer Garden returned to Salt Lake City's historic Albert Fisher Mansion, located at 1206 West 200 South after a two-year hiatus.
"There were several breweries in Salt lake at the time and west of the Mississippi, this was the biggest beer making area," said Nan Weber with Friends of Fisher, a community organization working to preserve the building."... and it's not just the beer industry, you have to think of all the industries that helped build that industry, which have to do with rural Utah. The grains and everything that needed to be here, the transportation, that was all part of it.
"[Fisher] passed away just after or just right when prohibition started," said Tim Dwyer, co-owner of the Fisher Brewing Company."I would hope that he would be excited about us reviving the brand and pouring a traditional German-style beer in an Octoberfest environment... we've tried to stay true to some of the classic Fisher beers, but also do our own take on things as well.
The building had been closed to the public after sustaining damage during the 5.7 magnitude earthquake that hit the state back on March 18, 2020. Since then, there have been efforts to repair some of the damage.
