Utah’s Pie & Beer Day

In 2014, Pie Beer Day, the so-called “counterculture response” to Pioneer Day in Utah was created and has since continued taking place each July 24.

It’s the same day as the state holiday that commemorates the Mormon pioneers’ arrival into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

The event has turned into a Utah summertime staple for a growing segment of the population that can’t quite believe in the Mormon fairy tale. Pie & Beer Day pairs many forms of pie — pizza, apple, key lime, quiche, maybe even chicken pot — with good beer.

Food and booze, a solid alternative to Mormonism spiritual fantasy!
