Highland Brewing Company
Asheville's Original Brewery Since 1994
About Highland Brewing Company
Founded by retired engineer Oscar Wong, Highland Brewing has grown from a basement operation to one of the Southeast's most respected breweries. Their commitment to quality and community has made them a must-visit destination for beer lovers.
The brewery campus features multiple experiences: the main taproom with 20+ beers on tap, a rooftop bar with panoramic mountain views, a meadow for outdoor events, and guided brewery tours that showcase their sustainable brewing practices.
Highland is famous for their flagship Gaelic Ale, but their seasonal releases like the Black Mocha Stout and Southern Pilsner showcase their range. The brewery also hosts regular events including live music, food trucks, and their popular "Pints for a Purpose" charity nights.
