Join the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and Highland Brewing Company for the release of Highland’s newest seasonal brew, Stargazer White Ale.

Like HBC’s other seasonal favorites, Stargazer is named for a part of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. This brew is perfect for gazing up at the night sky to relax after a hike, and the name calls attention to the important role that conservation can play in the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky (while protecting land and water resources on the ground). Highland will donate $1.00 per pour at the release party to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, to support ongoing conservation efforts across the region.

Enjoy free live music at this family-friendly event. Music starts at 7 pm, and SAHC staff will be on-site beginning around 4 pm to answer questions about our conservation work.

This event is part of #WNCforthePlanet —  a collaboration of environmental and conservation groups in Western North Carolina to coordinate and raise awareness about events and volunteer opportunities scheduled throughout the month of April in honor of “Earth Month.” Local nonprofit organizations, universities, and businesses have teamed up to host a myriad of service days, workshops, hikes, educational events and celebrations. Join us in unifying our community to encourage and celebrate environmental stewardship for our planet and the region.
