This was a total disappointment. There were only two beers and one ran out one hour in.
I mean if it was marketed as only having a few beers then sure I wouldn’t have been disappointed.
However it specifically said, “Capping off Highland’s 20th anniversary year, the event will include a tasting of their most celebrated beers, as well as a special selection of their smaller batch brews. ”
That was far from the truth.
Definitely come to expect better from you Highland.
Total disappointment!
They only had Thunderstruck Porter and Weizenbock. They ran out of the Weizenbock 1 hour in. Waste of time and money

20 years ago, when I heard there was a pizza place and a brewery opening up in a derelict building on Biltmore Ave, I thought it was the craziest idea I could think of. Thanks Highland for pushing Asheville in a wee different direction!
Feeling beery!
