What do absinthe, vodka, rum, bourbon, whiskey, and tequila all have in common? In addition to being popular alcoholic beverages, all of the aforementioned liquors, and many more will be featured at the 2019 Craft Spirits Carnival. All of the fun takes place from 2 pm until 5 pm on both Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22. With so many premium spirits to choose from, you are certain to find a new favorite while enjoying some of your old go-to's along the way. The 2019 Craft Spirits Carnival will be hosted at the Golden Gate Club in the Presidio, which is about half an hour from the Alpine Inn & Suites. Once you have had your fill of cocktails, you will also want to visit the Craft Beer Saloon (admission is included with your ticket) where you can sample from Bay Area craft breweries as well as some from a little farther away.
