FREE WATER!
In our efforts to reduce single serve plastic bottles we are once again teaming up with Klean Kanteen to offer FREE FILTERED WATER at various Klean Kanteen water filtration stations located around the Fairgrounds (please see the festival map in the center of this book for locations). Don’t forget to stop by the Klean Kanteen booth in the Grandstand Meadow and thank them for making this happen!
Beer, Wine & Cocktails
High Sierra features an array of quality craft brews from longtime California favorites, Lagunitas and Sierra Nevada Brewing Companies.
We’ll feature three different styles of beer on tap from each brewery (including the return of our FestivALE brew that we made with Sierra Nevada) so be sure to check out the beer menus at the concession areas! We’ll also feature a can bar in the food court offering two can flavors from all three breweries. Don’t forget to take advantage of the Klean Kanteen CUP KARMA/PINT PROGRAM where you can purchase a High Sierra souvenir stainless steel pint cup and receive $1 off with refills! They make great travel and camping cups and help us reduce our single serve waste! For wine enthusiasts we will feature delicious red and refreshing white California varietals from Kokomo, August West, Sandler and PayDirt wines as well as both white and rose sparkling cava from Coquilla. Yay for BUBBLES! In addition we will once again be serving Two Rivers hard cider, this year featuring apple, blackberry and yuza cider in cans, as well as a new addition from CaliCraft, a yummy Pomegranate/Blueberry juice wine spritzer. One other addition will be a hard kombucha fro boochcraft, California’s very first hard kombucha producer.
Craft cocktails of the highest quality will again be served at the drink concession booths at each stage as well as in the food court. Mi Casa tequila and Tahoe Blue vodka return, and we welcome Four Roses, a quality Kentucky bourbon, to High Sierra. We’ll be pouring a variety of specialty cocktails including a killer Bloody Mary, a Tahoe blue vodka berry lemonade, a Mi Casa limeade margarita, a Four Roses bourbon old fashioned and more. There will also be an assortment of sparkling mixers (from Q Drinks, Wave soda, Zevia and more) for you to pair with your favorite spirit and a menu of suggested favorites. Check the Libation Stations out for the full selection and your sippin’ pleasure! Cheers!
