For those looking to mix it up from our extensive craft beer, wine and cocktail offerings at the 2023 Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, we are pleased to offer a selection of hard kombuchas, ciders and seltzers at our festival bars.
Strainge Beast Hard Kombucha
It’s a challenge we love at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., one that’s fueled our 40+ years at the forefront of craft brewing. And hard kombucha, well, it’s a Strainge Beast. Making fruits, botanicals, bacteria, and yeast all play nice together? Plenty can go wrong. But done right, you’ve got yourself a delicious love triangle of flavors. It’s tricky—just as our brewers like it. Sip what we’ve brought to life: Let’s Get Strainge.
Mimosa - Pop the bubbly and let brunch begin. This ready-to-drink wonder is a weekend dream. Strainge Beast Mimosa comes alive with wild, fizzy flavor that won’t sit still — just like your brunch crawl. Let’s see where the day leads.
Big B’s Hard Cider
Our family runs Big B's Juices in the heart of the majestic North Fork Valley of Colorado. This tiny mountain valley with high elevation, crisp, thin air, Rocky Mountain water, cold nights and warm days produces some of the finest fruits in the world.
Harvest Apple Hard Cider - Harvest Apple is hand crafted using a perfect blend of Hotchkiss, Colorado apples. It’s a semi-sweet hard cider and has a bold and refreshing apple taste. USDA Certified Organic!
