“Out of deference to the well driller who was shot on this porch, and how important the well is for us, we changed our name to Dented Brick Distillery.” Marc Christiansen revealed this standing a few feet from the barrel room where the air carries warm notes of wood and spice. He had just finished pointing out the original bricks - kept from the old house that once stood on this South Salt Lake property.

“It is all about what you have in your own backyard.” And that backyard for James Fowler is Salt Lake City where he has run Sugar House Distillery since 2013.
