Highland Brewing Company is a mid-sized, family-owned brewery in Asheville, North Carolina, operating within the food and beverage services sector. It is the largest independent brewery native to the Southeast and produces beers that blend traditional styles with innovative approaches. The company was founded in 1994 by Oscar Wong, a Chinese-Jamaican immigrant and retired engineer, who started brewing in the basement of Barley’s Taproom using repurposed dairy equipment. Leah Wong Ashburn, who joined the company in 2011, now serves as president and CEO, continuing her father's emphasis on community and quality. Today, Highland operates a 40-acre campus in East Asheville that transformed a former film studio into a destination brewery with a production facility, an expansive indoor taproom, and outdoor amenities including a meadow, five sand volleyball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course, and several event spaces such as a mountain-view rooftop. The brewery maintains active engagement with the regional craft beer scene through public events and partnerships, including seasonal releases and community gatherings that reflect its focus on place and people.
