Highland Brewing Co. in Asheville, North Carolina has announced the addition of a new year-round beer to its lineup. Full details are below.
ASHEVILLE, NC — North Carolina’s largest native brewer is announcing the release of Hazy Heights IPA – an IPA brewed with Citra, Ekuanot, Amarillo, Centennial, and El Dorado hops. It is the latest addition to the brewery’s year-round lineup and will be distributed in 6-packs across Highland’s Southeastern footprint starting in June.
The name of the brew was inspired by the hazy heights of the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround the brewery’s home base in western North Carolina.
At 7.5% ABV and 45 IBUs, Hazy Heights IPA is a fruity and unfiltered IPA with notes of pineapple and mango.
Shane Cummings, Highland’s Brewing Innovation Manager said, "Hazy Heights is a vibrant and tropical hazy IPA with strong aromas and flavors of papaya, mango, pineapple and orange. A succinct mouthfeel from the generous use of oats, and wheat with a mild bitterness creates a beer that is both complex and enjoyable to drink."
