Time for a P-A-R-T-Y like no other, Asheville. 🎉 Highland Brewing turns 25 this weekend (May 3 + 4) and you are invited to their huge, two-day celebration. This 25th Anniversary Party will reflect on Highland’s success over the past 25 years, as well as provide first look on what’s in store next. 🍻

To get the party started, on Friday Highland will give you a first taste of what’s to come in their growing barrel-aged beer program. They will release fewer than 200 bottles (500 ml) of Silver & Steel Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout. In addition to their lineup of small batch releases, they will launch the release of two new brews: Slow Crush (Tart Spritz Ale) and Rustic IPA (25th Anniversary Ale).

There will also be a full lineup of WNC bands to keep the party rocking. 🎶

DJ Marley Carroll | 3-4:30 p.m.
Josh Phillips Feel Good | 4:30-6 p.m.
