Highland Releasing Cold Mountain Winter Ale in November

Imagine calling a business meeting on a Sunday, in the morning, without serving coffee.

As the group leader, you’d rightly expect attendance to hover near zero. But there is a time and place where everyone shows up. Hungry and uncaffeinated, employees arrive at Highland Brewing Company for one Sunday morning assignment: deciding the flavor profile for this year’s batch of Cold Mountain Winter Ale.
