Not to be missed!

Join us Wednesday, December 3rd as the Garden Cathedral once again shapeshifts into our laboratory of liquid lore: Bittersweet Alchemy with Highside Distilling and featuring their fearless founder, Matt Glenn, master distiller and certified chiller.

Highside’s been quietly turning out some of the Northwest’s most intriguing spirits from their Bainbridge Island base—everything from alpine-inspired amari to bold, botanical-forward gins and whiskies that taste like a hike through a pine forest followed by a well-earned drink at the summit. Matt will be joining us to pour, pontificate, and probably tell a few stories that smell faintly of juniper and sea air.

Executive Chef Devon Capocelli will be conjuring a four-course tasting menu, each dish paired with both a cocktail or neat pour crafted by Savannah Demy, designed to showcase a different expression from Highside’s portfolio. Think of it as a guided exploration of the Pacific Northwest in liquid form—equal parts curiosity, craftsmanship, and chaos (the good kind).

5:30 PM – Meet & greet with Matt Glenn
6:00 PM – Dinner begins (give or take a sip or two)
$120 per person (21+ only—sorry, this one’s strictly adults behaving moderately well)

As always, seating is communal in true Italian spirit—expect to meet a few new friends over shared sips and bad ideas.

Dietary note: This menu leans indulgent. If you’re vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free, we love you, but this may not be your round.

THIS Saturday, May 24th we'll be hosting a release party for our latest American Single Malt Whiskey, Release #008. Join us from 2-5pm for complementary tastings of the latest batch, $10 cocktail specials, freshly-shucked oysters from Salish Sea Greens, and all-around good vibes! The weather is looking perfect, so come snag a seat on the patio and join in on the fun, 

In case you missed our last newsletter, here's a bit more about the new juice we're debuting. Release 008 is a BIG whiskey - packed with notes of dark chocolate, candied orange, butterscotch and sweet cherries. This release was a combination of three American oak barrels aging our flagship four malt Scotch Ale recipe (#'s 012, 017, and 025). Each of these three casks were new, heavily-charred, American Oak barrels with air-seasoned staves of 24 and 36 months. Two of these casks had been aged for five and half years, with the remaining cask aging for just over 4 years. The high char levels on these barrels gave this release our boldest finish to date, while still drinking remarkably smooth at 100 proof (50% ABV). 

Be one of the first to try this latest special release on May 24th! Available for purchase starting at the event - we hope to see you there. Cheers!
