The Bites & Brews Food Tour

The Perfect Food Tour for Lovers of Beer, Great Food, and Local History!

Contrary to popular belief, beer and booze has flowed in the Beehive State since the earliest pioneer days and nowhere has it flowed more freely than Ogden! Capitalizing on the confluence of pristine mountain water, and ready access to malt, grain, and ice, this thirsty rail hub has seen its fair share of breweries over the past 170+ years.

While names like U.P. Brewery, Grove Brewery, Ogden City Brewery, and Becker Brewing and Malting may be lost to time, Ogden’s beer scene is healthy and growing with the likes of Roosters, Talisman, UTOG, and Ogden Beer Company, proudly taking up the torch.

Our “Bites and Brews” walking tour beckons! Sip and taste your way through historic downtown Ogden as you soak up the stories of this gritty railroad town.

What people are saying about OTown Food Tours

“We did the OTown Food Tour with friends and we absolutely loved it! Rick’s knowledge of the history of Ogden is amazing. During the walking tour, he shared many fascinating stories about the local haunts and cultural icons of the area. Ogden’s history is way more interesting than I ever imagined. I loved the restaurants we visited and the presentation of each dish was first rate. The food and wine pairings were also spot on. Will definitely do again!”

“My husband and I were able to do O Town Food Tour for a Friday night! We had a blast with the other guests and Rick himself. Lots of funny stories and also great food! I was definitely hesitant about the brussel sprouts we had at Table 25 but they were absolutely amazing! For sure a must try. The poached pears we had were not only stunning to look at but the perfect dessert. One of our favorite parts of the tour was walking down 25th Street hearing about all the original brothels and darker history of Ogden. I definitely would do this tour again! My husband and I still talk about how much fun we had!”

“Some friends of mine and I booked an OTown Food Tour last Saturday and, honestly, my mind was BLOWN! From the start of our journey at the train station to the very last stop, our tour guide (and founder), Rick, from OTown Food Tours, provided the perfect balance of fun facts and interesting history of Ogden’s historical 25th Street. Not only did Rick provide fascinating historical facts, he also provided a background of the restaurants that we visited along with details of how the food was conceptualized at each establishment. Needless to say, I had no idea how varied and amazing the dining is just a short drive up north. I’m definitely planning on scheduling a tour with my wife and family in the near future!”
