To the dismay of beer and burger lovers, Proper Brewing and Proper Burger are closing, according to an Instagram post.
Proper Burger’s final day will be Saturday, and Proper Brewing’s taproom next door will be open through November, the post said. If fans aren’t able to make it into Proper Burger at 865 S. Main St. before it closes, they will still be able to get the food at the taproom while it’s open.
After both businesses close, diners will be able to get Proper food and beer at Avenues Proper, Sugar House Station and Proper Brewing’s Moab location, the post said.
Proper beer will still be available statewide, the post added.
“To everyone who’s shared a pint, grabbed a burger or made Proper on Main part of their routine, thank you for being part of what made this place special,” the post said.
One of Proper Brewing’s most visible offerings is its SLC Pils, a beer inspired by the 1998 film “SLC Punk!”
“When I read the news on Instagram about the closing of Proper Brewing, it made me very sad,” said Severine Ferrari, whose husband is James Merendino, the writer and director of “SLC Punk!”
The couple screened the movie at Proper Brewing in summer 2025, to a “full house,” Ferrari said. At the screening, they started filming their documentary, “Only Posers Die: Why SLC Punk Lives On.”
The brewery’s ownership didn’t include a reason for the closure in the post. Attempts to reach them on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
