Deer Valley Pilsner
Deer Valley Resort and Proper Brewing Co. launched a new resort-branded pilsner this season called Deer Valley Pilsner. It’s a crisp and refreshing beer crafted by the team after more than a dozen recipe versions, bringing together the best of both German and American-style pilsners for easy drinking as an après or anytime beverage that pairs well with outdoor adventure and food.
Brewed by Salt Lake City-based Proper Brewing, the beer delivers the craft brewery’s expertise and passion for exploring American grains and German and American-style hops to the partnership alongside Deer Valley’s dedication to best-in-class guest experiences elevated by offering locally crafted products.
With this refreshing addition, guests can now toast to the perfect day on the mountain with a beer that truly embodies the spirit of Deer Valley. Fans can enjoy Deer Valley Pilsner at various food and beverage locations mountainside or take it home as a memento of Park City from Deer Valley packaging stores or Proper Brewing.
Alpine Distilling Gin Blending Class
Alpine Distilling offers an experience that’s equal parts education and exclusiveness—their gin blending class. This hands-on workshop allows you to dive into the art of distillation and create a bottle of gin uniquely your own.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a cocktail crafted from Alpine’s award-winning spirits, setting the stage for this immersive activity. The class begins with an introduction to the history of gin, followed by a deep dive into botanicals. From citrus peels and juniper to spices and florals, participants learn how each element influences aroma, taste, and complexity.
Under the guidance of Sara Sergent, Alpine’s Master Distiller and the most decorated botanical distiller in America, class participants then craft their own gin blend by carefully selecting and measuring botanicals. The process is both scientific and creative—allowing for personalized expressions of flavor, whether you prefer a bright citrus-forward profile or a rich, spiced depth. Watch as Sergent begins the distilling process and once the blend is crafted, the gin is bottled, labeled in your own hand, and ready to take home, making for a one-of-a-kind souvenir. Your gin will put you in the same coveted spot as Stein Eriksen Lodge and St. Regis Deer Valley that also have their own custom gin blends from Alpine.
The gin blending class at Alpine Distilling is an engaging experience that fosters appreciation for the craft. Perfect for date nights, group outings, or even corporate retreats, this class is for anyone looking to sip, savor, and craft something completely their own in Park City.
The class is generally offered several times a month and lasts approximately 3 hours. Reserve your spot by contacting the distillery at alpinedistilling.com, raise your glass, and enjoy blending your perfect gin.
