Many people in Utah are fully aware and celebrate the weird, useless holiday of Pioneer day. The time when Brigham Young did... something... blah blah...

But this post is about what the sane people in the state have now embraced, a new kind of July 24th celebration.

Pie & Beer Day! - A much more delicious way to celebrate by imbibing baked goods and local brews.

Local establishment Beer Bar hosts an outlet for such a way of celebrating this newly adopted tradition. Having many brewers and bakeries from around the Salt Lake area, locals can buy tickets to this tasting and pairing mini festival and enjoy all the foods, beverages, music and dunk tank they can handle.

Below are images and video! From the experience, enjoy!

Thanks for looking.
