What's CITY Talking About?
Bewilder Brewing Discontinuing ‘Deseret’ Beer
Salt Lake City-based Bewilder Brewing Co. has halted production of its Deseret IPA beer after they were contacted by an attorney representing businesses owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They cited potential trademark infringement and gave a few months for the brewery to cease production and sell the remaining stock. Bewilder’s owners plan to rename the beer in the future and sell it seasonally or as a one-time release. [Salt Lake Tribune]
Cold Stone Creamery
A lot of popular chains in Utah have been cited for violating child labor laws within the last year — Crumbl, Sodalicious, and Chick-fil-A, to name a few. Now, various Cold Stone Creamery locations in the state have been fined $42,000 for having 14 to 15-year-old employees work too late or too many hours on a school day. [FOX 13]
Anti-DEI Bill Passes Senate
Utah Senate Republicans rapidly passed a bill to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in public education and government. Now as a result, Native American tuition waivers that use state funding could potentially be impacted. Many students who benefit from DEI initiatives have voiced their concerns about the support they depend on going away. [Salt Lake Tribune]
The Bills We’re Obsessed With
The Utah Legislature is still in session and City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means are breaking down the bills they’re obsessed with this week. Plus, they talk about SLC Housing 4 All’s open letter to the mayor for social housing. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]

Today on City Cast
If I have a neighbor, and they start keeping bees ... and the bees are just lawless, then I can see why I would want there to be some sort of regulation around that. But like in terms of noise or aesthetic, nothing could be cuter than those little hive things.
Renters’ Rights, Disqualifying Judges, and Free the Bee
Another week of the Utah Legislature in the books. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means talk about the bills that caught their eyes, including on beekeeping, judges, and renters’ rights. Plus, Salt Lake City residents ask Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall to prioritize publicly funded housing, and Ali and Emily share their picks of the week.
