Belt’s Beer Garden: Eastbound and Down

This week I get out of the Midwest and West Coast mindset and head the opposite direction; the East Coast. I have a beer from North Carolina and another from Baltimore to share with you.

First up, from the Tar Heel state, Highland Brewing’s IPA:

Highland Brewing Company is located in Asheville, North Carolina and has been around for quite a while. They started selling beer back in 1994; however you could only find them on draft and in bombers until 1998 when they got their bottling equipment.

If you wanted to visit their taproom though, you couldn’t…at least not until 2010 when it finally opened to the public.
