About
David Cole and Peter Erickson are the founders and co-owners of Epic Brewing Company. Cole and Erickson, originally from California, started an international aquaculture company in Utah in 1992. In 2008, Utah law changed allowing these two entrepreneurs to pursue their longtime dream of opening a strong beer microbrewery in Utah, like those they frequented in the Golden State.
Admittedly, beer geeks, foodies, and "Epic" adventure junkies, share a passion for making and drinking fine ales and lagers. The Epic team has a strong belief in doing everything "all out."

22oz Bottle Thanks to inflatablehair. Batch number 2. I am pleased to see how fast Epic has made such a variety of tasty beer. Pours out a cloudy gold topped with a small foam head. Aroma of light apple and spice. Taste more of the light apple, spices, bready yeast, not too bad.

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bomber at the 5th Annual Epic Beer Tasting in Richmond, VA, November 28, 2010. Pours a clear amber color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, spicy notes, apple and smoke. The taste is apple, spice, caramel, leafy hops, spicy finish. Medium bodied. It’s a good thing I began to sober up at this point... my handwriting is horrific and my sentence structure was starting to become.... unique.

Imperial Stout from Epic Brewing Company
15 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

ReRate, release #2
Appearance: Pours coal black with a medium sized tan head and some lacing
Aroma: Smokey, roasted malts and yeast
Taste: Roasted malts, grainy, smokey with a bitter hop finish
A nice Imperial Stout, I liked this one much better than release #1
Original 11/23/10 - 22oz bottle picked up at Epic
Appearance: Poured into a Uinta snifter. Very dark brown with a medium sized tan head and some lacing
Aroma: Surprisingly it is yeasty and roasted malts with some hot alcohols
Taste: Bitterness on the tongue, roasted malts and some coffee
This is a very young beer (hit the shelves today) and should mellow out with some time. I bought a few extras to cellar, looking forward to trying it again after some aging.
