With so much attention focused on Colorado's other legal intoxicant, its no surprise that Vail's inaugural
Top Shelf Harvest Festival hasn't really gotten the press it probably deserves. Billed as a "speakeasy event", this pairing of Colorado distillers and Vail restaurants is the kickoff to
Vail/Beaver Creek Restaurant Week, and features a mixology contest, live music, and tastings from the likes of
Woody Creek,
10th Mountain,
Breckenridge, and
Overland distilleries.
Inventive cocktails deliberately prepared and paired with delicious food in the highest and least-prohibitive state in the Union? Sounds like the perfect opportunity to revel in Vail's legendary luxury and enjoy the best that post-Prohibition Colorado has to offer.
