Perspectives Over Pints | Why the Great Salt Lake Matters

Perspectives Over Pints is a monthly lecture series exploring the intersection of Utah and contemporary culture — from environment to industry to public life. Each talk delivers a straightforward look at what’s happening and why it matters. Come for the talk, stay for the pint, leave with a new perspective.

In this discussion we’ll unpack why Great Salt Lake matters for our health, economy, and the future of the region; discuss how we got here from a scientific, historical, and cultural perspective; review current solutions both real and proposed; and dig into where we’re headed next and how you can meaningfully engage.

This is a ticketed event and will take place at Fisher Brewing Company 320 W 800 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101. You must be 21+ to attend. Tickets are $10.
