Blonds, Ales, IPAs and Stouts will take center stage at Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite during the inaugural High Sierra Hops craft beer weekend, June 1 and 2, 2018. Presented in partnership with South Gate Brewing Company, the celebratory weekend will showcase some of the best craft beer the area has to offer at an exclusive beer pairing dinner and a relaxed backyard barbecue brew party. Beer lovers can come for the day or purchase an overnight package that includes accommodations and access to all the fun.

"It's fun to work with our local South Gate Brewing Company to present unique pairing menus for these two different events," said Frederick Claubaugh, Executive Chef at Tenya Lodge. "Our beer weekend will introduce guests to a range of delicious local flavors, all inspired by the beautiful High Sierra setting and premium locally sourced ingredients. It's a fun, relaxed celebration to kick off the summer season."

The High Sierra Hops weekend will begin with an exclusive adults-only Beer Pairing Dinner at Tenaya's open-air Pavillion on Friday, June 1 from 6-9 p.m. The evening begins with a beer and hors d'oeuvres reception followed by a three-course dinner paired with local craft beer. Over the course of the meal, brewmasters from South Gate Brewing Company will be "on tap" to share tasting notes and fun anecdotes about each brew. Live music from Eva Scow will round out the night at this intimate event for a select number of guests. Tickets to the beer pairing dinner are $125 per person.

On Saturday, June 2, guests can let loose and revel in the fresh mountain air at a relaxed Pool Party Tasting event.
