The Granada Theatre will bring a taste of the American frontier to downtown Alpine on Friday, Nov. 13, with a screening of the 1972 Western classic “Jeremiah Johnson” and a special trapper-inspired food and drink menu prepared by Alcove Social.
The event will feature bison chili served with skillet cornbread, jerky, bear claw pastries and fresh popcorn. Guests can also enjoy hot apple cider, campfire coffee and a whiskey-based hot toddy called “The Hawken,” available to patrons 21 and older.
The special menu, billed as “Trapper’s Menu,” draws inspiration from the rugged mountain-man lifestyle portrayed in the film.
Directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford, “Jeremiah Johnson” follows a former soldier who retreats into the Rocky Mountains in search of solitude and becomes a mountain man. The film, inspired in part by the legend of John “Liver-Eating” Johnson, explores survival, isolation and conflict on the 19th-century American frontier.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the film begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5, with food and beverages sold separately.
Guests purchasing alcoholic beverages must present a valid ID verifying they are at least 21 years old.
The Granada Theatre is located at 207 E. Holland Ave. in downtown Alpine.
