Description
Highland Brewing was founded in 1994 by retired engineer and entrepreneur Oscar Wong, establishing it as the pioneer of Asheville, NC’s booming craft beer industry. With a portfolio that is equal parts established and inventive, Highland is known for consistently excellent beer. Proudly regional, Highland is distributed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Kentucky. Highland is the largest independent family-owned brewery born in the Southeast, with the third largest solar array in an American craft brewery. The brewery is in a rehabilitated manufacturing facility on a hilltop, affording space for thousands of visitors to enjoy limited release beers, tours, and live music. In addition, the event center and rooftop can be reserved for private events. Since 2015, the company has been led by Wong’s daughter, Leah Wong Ashburn, and has 50 full-time employees.

Cloudy salmon colored pour with a light pink head and good retention. Very good lacing. Sour fruit flavor followed by more sour fruit. Why? Pass! This is a Berliner Weisse, not a fruit beer.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a fluffy one-finger head that lingers. Huge dank nose with passion fruit, guava pineapple dominating. Mango and passionfruit palate w/ grapefruit zest on the finish, dank & zesty. This is really good.

Bottle from Crown Wine & Spirits, Cookeville, Tennessee. Golden with a small head. Crisp, with its strength only a factor in giving it a good body, otherwise its taste is a pleasantly hoppy with a gritty edge to it.

Bottle from Harris Teeter, Hampstead, North Carolina. Extremely dark red with a small head. Its dark malts have a small grittiness to them, but no real roasted malts found here. There is a smoothness within its texture.
