FAQ

Our Taproom and Meadow are public spaces designed for the enjoyment of all of our visitors. Reserving one of our new Silo Cabanas is the only way to guarantee space for your group gathering in Highland’s public areas. Email eperry@highlandbrewing.com to reserve.

If your gathering includes announcements, presentations, tickets, music, and/or catering, a Highland private event venue must be rented. Please contact privateevents@highlandbrewing.com to book the Barrel Room, Rooftop, or Event Center.

If visiting our Meadow or Taproom, please do not occupy more tables than needed. The Taproom and Meadow tables are come, first serve and CANNOT be reserved. Banners, yard signs, balloons and hanging posters are not allowed in the Taproom or Meadow.

With the exception of planned/approved blood drives and craft market vendors, Highland does NOT allow businesses to table or solicit at the brewery at any time. If a business sets up a table or solicitation station, a Highland Brewing team member will ask for it to be broken down / removed immediately. Failure to comply will result in removal from the property.  

If you are an artisan maker and would like to vend at our craft markets, please email events@highlandbrewing.com.

The Silo Cabanas once functioned as grain storage for Highland until normal wear and tear necessitated its replacement in 2023. In a creative effort to minimize waste, the silo was halved with it’s top and bottom anchored into the ground with retired beer kegs and concrete. By adding decks and Diamond Brand shade sails, the Silo Cabanas provide a unique new guest experience in the Meadow. Design and construction were spearheaded by Highland’s own facilities team.

Reserving a Silo Cabana is the only way to guarantee space for your group gathering in Highland’s public areas. Special event pricing applies to some dates. If you would like to reserve a Silo Cabana or if you have any questions, please reach out to eperry@highlandbrewing.com

You will find Highland Brewing’s flagship beers available at both taproom locations. Small batch brews, produced in our pilot brewery, are available year-round and rotate often! In addition to Highland beer, you will find our collaboration cider from Urban Orchard on draft as well as a selection of wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Our Downtown Taproom also features beer cocktails.

While you are allowed and encouraged to bring your personal water bottle to stay hydrated, we do NOT allow other outside beverages at either Highland Brewing location.

We are so happy your family is enjoying our new Crafted for Kids play area! We kindly ask guests not to host children’s parties at our brewery.

Please do not occupy more tables than needed or leave personal items on vacant tables while kids are playing in the play area. We want to make sure that our visiting, beer-loving guests have a place to sit. Thank you!
