Red Rock Brewing | Le Quatre Saison

April 26, 2018 | Chris & Sylvia Hollands

How do you define style these days? When we think of a head brewer with style, we think of Kevin Templin. He has been crafting some of our state’s most iconic brews before we even knew what good beer really was. You see, Templin led Salt Lake City’s Red Rock Brewing team as Head Brew Master for just about the past two decades.

We once wandered a beer fest with this guy and people simply gravitated to him. Silly enough, it was an honor to see him work the room (or should we say “tents”).

In a land surrounded by high elevation, we’ve been keeping it low for years. Read More
