What Bohemian Brewery does

Bohemian Brewery is a craft brewery and restaurant founded in 2001 by Joe Petras in Midvale, Utah, producing European heritage lager beers. The brewery operates a single brewpub location and manufactures its beer using the traditional Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 (Reinheitsgebot) and a double decoction mashing process, with a portfolio of 14+ beer products. A full-service restaurant operating alongside the brewing operation serves American pub fare with European influences, including brunch service. Brian Ericksen has served as Head Brewer since 2009, providing long-tenured technical continuity over the brewing program.

The company's revenue model combines multiple channels: on-premise food and beverage sales at the brewpub restaurant, drive-thru packaged beer sales, retail distribution through Utah DABS (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services) grocery and liquor outlets, and wholesale placement in select bars and restaurants. The business is 100% locally owned and operated as a private company, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment.

Beyond core brewing and restaurant operations, Bohemian Brewery invests in event-driven brand building through partnerships including Snowbird's Oktoberfest, Twilight Concert Series sponsorship, St. Patrick's Day programming, and hosted competitions such as Brewstillery and Lagerpalooza. Award-winning products include the Sir-Veza Mexican Lager (2019 Brewstillery Best New Beer, 2019 Lagerpalooza Best of Show). The company's strategic posture is depth-focused: continued product innovation and community engagement within a single Utah footprint, rather than multi-location or out-of-state expansion.
