Asheville, NC – On Thursday, June 2, the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (SAHC) and Highland Brewing Company will host a Farm-to-Rooftop Beer Dinner as part of their “For Love of Beer & Mountains” Partnership.

“This signature event is a wonderful way to highlight our “For Love of Beer & Mountains” partnership, and to showcase the culinary benefits of local farmland conservation,” says Kristy Urquhart, SAHC Associate Director. “We are especially excited to offer this event in the unique, newly opened rooftop at Highland —where we can enjoy stunning 360-degree views of protected mountain ridges while savoring fresh farm to table fare.”
Ingredients for the dinner will be sourced from local farms across Western North Carolina. This is a limited seating event, $85 per ticket or $630 per table (seats 8). Purchase tickets online at Appalachian.org or http://bit.ly/27QRSot.
