Free Drink Friday #3: Highland Brewing Company Gaelic Ale

Welcome back to Free Drink Friday here at the Point Blank Critic.


Today I want to introduce you folks to the Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, North Carolina.  They grew out of a heavy Scottish-American influence that was common here in western North Carolina.

This Gaelic Ale is a treat from the moment you open it.  If you're a beer geek like I am, your first instinct will be to inhale the aroma.  This will be enough to sell most people on this ale as you will be overwhelmed with the complexity of the hops used in this brew.

I recommend that you pour this beer into your favorite pint glass.  You're going to want to see the amber color.  I promise you won't be disappointed.  I've seen little so appetizing.

When you first taste it, you will feel the aroma being enhanced by the sweetness of the malt.  The finish is a dry bitter hop that will leave you craving more.

And, getting more shouldn't be a problem.  I'm putting a full 6 of these into my 6 pack.

I think I need another.
