Anyone who has experienced Highland Brewing’s Cold Mountain Winter Ale understands why it’s a cherished Asheville tradition.

With a flavor profile that’s lovingly tweaked every year, Cold Mountain’s 27th rendition promises a bright pop of fruit balanced by a soft nuttiness, all wrapped up in warming vanilla and cinnamon spice (yeah, we’re feeling the cozy vibes, too).

Don’t miss Highland’s Cold Mountain Release Weekend, Thursday, Nov. 9-Monday, Nov. 13 — featuring an exclusive Cold Mountain Beer Dinner, live music, brewery-only small batch releases + more.

Ale bet you’ll love it
