It's still not legal unless it's a low alcohol weight.
" Under Utah law "alcoholic beverages" include all hard liquor, spirits, wine and beer. Beer and other malt beverage products that exceed 3.2% alcohol by weight or 4.0% by volume are considered "liquor", and beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% or less is defined as "beer".
Utah is a “control state”, and only the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) may lawfully have liquor products imported and shipped into Utah. Private individuals may not lawfully import or transport them into the state. Manufacturers and suppliers of these products may only supply them to the DABC. Only the DABC through its state liquor stores, package agencies, licensees and permittees may sell liquor products in Utah. Possession of liquor products not purchased from the DABC is strictly prohibited. Also, licensed restaurants and clubs cannot allow patrons to bring wines onto the premises if they were not purchased in Utah. Other Utah laws prohibit the unlawful importation of beer products into Utah.
There are very few exceptions to these laws. A person coming from a foreign country who clears U.S. customs in Utah may possess, for personal consumption, two liters of liquor purchased outside of Utah. Also, a person who moves his permanent residence to Utah or maintains separate residences both in and out of Utah, may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor purchased outside of Utah. However, the person must first obtain DABC approval prior to moving to Utah; and upon the arrival of the product, the DABC will charge a nominal handling fee. A person may not obtain approval from the DABC under this exception more than once. A person may possess for personal consumption, and not for sale or resale, liquor inherited as part of an estate that is located outside the state and brought it into Utah, after obtaining the approval from the DABC and paying the required administrative handling fee.
Finally, accredited foreign diplomatic missions that establish a mission presence in Utah may ship, possess and purchase alcoholic beverages under certain exceptions granted under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations.
Unless one of these exceptions applies, it is clear you may not bring alcoholic beverages into Utah for any purpose whether it be for personal consumption, to serve at a private social function, or to give or sell to others."

yeah last time we went up there we stopped at a little diner and they sold beer, the owners were talking to me about how hard it is to even find liquor, the guy had to drive over an hour each way just to get a bottle of Jack!

They have state run liquor stores you can buy pretty much whatever you like, and beer & wine is available at grocery/convenience stores. But you don't want to get pulled over in UT with a bunch of alcohol and no proof it was bought legally. I can still remember having to get "sponsored" by a local to drink at the bars in Moab!!

Who the fuck makes these laws anyways.

Undertheradar, has described it legally to a tee. Being from Idaho originally, it is a little different in Utah, but there are plenty of places to get hard alcohol easily. I have taken my own wine into many local restaurants, some not with the stamp. We have many great local breweries and wineries. You can try some of our great local beers. The only problem is they may not be at a discount. Try some beers from Epic and Red Rock and obviously Moab Brewery after all you can't beat a dead horse.... ale!
