    Anyone going to Highland Brewing on November 1st for their release of their Cold Mountain beer? It is in my top-5 beer list!

    One of these years I'll make it over for that. A good buddy of mine goes every year.

    Last year they opened at 4PM for the release party.... there was a line at 10AM.

    I'll try it if I can land some, as I have every year, but it is more hype than a really special beer. The grocery stores will have some the Monday after the release date, at least until 11 AM. Then it's gone there. It is usually available in the tasting room, on draft, for several weeks afterwards.

    That is run by a postal carrier that takes the day off to run it. One of the electronic billboards (on Merrimon Ave) had a live feed of it one year.

    Kudo's to Highlands for the marketing hype, and it is a good beer, but not a great beer.

    I think it’s great, but it’s not something I like a lot of. I get a twelve pack, and sip on it throughout the holidays.

    If it were available throughout the year, it would not be special.

    I've been a few times. Would go again if time allows. I love the beer, particularly the Imperial version, also some of the flavored versions.

    It tends to hang around a bit in Charlotte, and in previous years there were multiple drops.

    It sure doesn't at Brawley's... It flew out of there fast.
