11/6/2020 -- Cold Mountain Release Weekend

Cold Mountain Season kicks off from Nov 6-14. Ticketed Release Weekend will be held Nov 6-Nov 8.

Cold Mountain season kicks off with a flurry of festivities from November 6-14. Friday, November 6- Sunday, November 8 will have ticketed Celebration Sessions from 12-4 PM for families and 6-10 PM for the +21 crowd. Each session includes exclusive cask tappings, live music, and special draft beer releases. Guests must buy a ticket to gain access to the property on the first weekend of Cold Mountain as we are operating at a reduced guest capacity.

Daily allotments of two pre-made packaged beer options, Holiday Packs and Cheer Packs, will be available only by pre-order online. Additional allotments of packaged beer will be available for onsite purchase each day.

The festivities continue through November 14. Access passes will not be required to visit Highland Brewing on or after Monday, November 9.

To join us at the brewery for the Cold Mountain Release weekend, you must purchase a $10 access pass. Your access pass will guarantee entry to Highland Brewing property on your designated day and session time. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 12!!

All guests must be seated at a table during Cold Mountain festivities and we have opened several venues to allow for more space! Enjoy the Taproom, the bier garden festival tent in the Meadow or the ski lodge themed Event Center. Each venue is open with limited capacity so folks may have to wait for a table in certain spaces at peak times.
