Highland Brewing Downtown Taproom

Steve and I had Highland Brewing with a collaboration with Lucky Envelope Brewing which I believe was for the 2024 Lunar New Year, the Year of the Dragon. The name of the beer was Wood Dragon(fruit) Wheat which was very good. I rated it highly on Untappd and now I am carrying over the high score to Yelp.Flavor features to find with this lovely fruited wheat beer are bitter, hoppy, wheat and fruity. It is also a light bodied beer and that is something that is certainly appreciated with Steve and myself! A great beer experience!

Great spot in the heart of downtown AVL. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, looking for a relaxing drink and a spot the read a bit. This is on the upper level of a small two-story market with multiple vendors (hot dogs, ice creams, empanadas, etc). The upper level has a nice retail section and plenty of seating overlooking the lower level as well as the main street. I ordered an old fashioned and spent about an hour here. Had a really pleasant time, would come back again!

This was a cute little taproom located in the beautiful S & W Building. Down stairs there a food hall. Highland Brewery is located up a flight of stairs on the Mezzanine. They also sell cans and t-shirts on the first floor.They had several beers on tap. My favorite was the black mocha stout. There is seating upstairs and downstairs and the upstairs seating overlooks the food hall. Some of the food options include: Buxton Chicken PalaceBun IntendedFarm DogPeace Love TacosThe Hop Ice Cream

I tried an ale here which was not my favorite because it was extremely bitter, but I know that's a lot of peoples taste. I definitely want to go back and try some other beers!

I ordered the oatmeal porter and the cider. Both had great flavor. They had live music in the evening for a great family atmosphere. There are several different food options to walk up and order. We ordered the Thai buns which had great flavor and a good amount of spice. I would recommend the buns over the rice bowls, as the flavor of the meat and veggies in the bowls was bland and the sauce was quite spicy and hard to balance with the rice bowl. Friendly staff. Overall would recommend the taproom!

So many good local brews so little time! We enjoyed a flight and enjoyed the vibe. Beautiful older building well redone.

Pretty good experience for the big 21st birthday. Very nice interior. Badass food court. Taproom makes you feel like a boss. Bartenders are like any other; feels great to get carded.....for now until I get old.

Perfect addition to the S&W Market. Great beer to go with the excellent food options.

Love the big open feel of this place...and it just seems to keep getting bigger and improving. The beer is delicious, ambiance is perfect for whatever you are looking for.

Love that Highland Brewery is in the cool Art Deco S&W Cafeteria Building! Great spot to stop for noshing and a drink as you walk downtown Asheville! I had a Four Roses bourbon with Ginger Beer and a bit of lime and of course they have some delicious beers on draft too.
