James Beard Benefit Events at High West
Intimate dinner and cocktail events will support Open for Good campaign
April 8-9, 2022
The James Beard Foundation selects High West to host two Friends of James Beard Benefit events to support their Open for Good campaign. On Friday, April 9, High West will partner with Louisville-based Copper & Kings, an American brandy distillery influenced by whiskey and music for “A Taste of Kentucky in the West,” a dinner of crafted cocktails, straight pours and inventive cuisine. On Saturday, April 9, High West will host “The Art of Craft,” a special evening featuring finely crafted food, exclusive spirits from the vault, and handcrafted tableside cocktails. The evening will be led by High West Executive Chef Michael Showers, Master Distiller Brendan Coyle, and Beverage Manager Holly Booth.
Funds raised for these Friends of James Beard Benefit events will directly support the James Beard Foundation’s Open for Good program. The campaign aims to help independent restaurants survive the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, rebuild better, and thrive for the long term. Through critical resources, advocacy, and emergency and investment grants, Open for Good aims to help restaurants come back stronger, more equitable, more sustainable, and more resilient.

High West Distillery & Saloon
The Saloon: 703 Park Avenue Park City UT.
Our downtown Park City saloon is the first ski-in, ski-out gastro distillery in the continental US. Known for its unique charm as a historic landmark and one of Utah’s best apres-ski bars! Home to our original 250-gallon copper pot-still in a historic livery stable and garage. The Saloon is the heartbeat and the pulse of our hospitality brand. Welcoming up to 2000 visitors a day, we build a bridge between any guest and the story of High West. Gastro-distillery is the term we use to describe our cuisine. Bold, regional, and seasonal but embracing our spirits to ride along as components of dishes or masterfully paired cocktails and straight pours.
