Highland Brewing Co. in Asheville, North Carolina has announced that Starchaser White wheat ale will be added to the brewery's year-round portfolio this month.
Previously released as a summer seasonal under the name Stargazer White, the brewery opted to change the name due to a similarly named beer by Benchmark Brewing Co.
This Belgian-inspired white ale is brewed with coriander, candied ginger and grapefruit peel with ingredients sourced from two local Asheville businesses: Riverbend Malt House and Spicewalla.
The full release from the brewery is below.
ASHEVILLE, NC – Highland Brewing Company is happy to announce the release of Starchaser White, the latest addition to the company’s year-round line-up. Originally released earlier this year as a summer seasonal, this Belgian-inspired white ale is brewed with coriander, candied ginger, and grapefruit peel. Named the fourth best American wheat ale by Vine Pair Inc. in August 2018, and wildly popular in the Highland Tasting Room, the resounding acclaim for this beer made it an easy decision to upgrade the brew to be included in Highland’s year-round portfolio.
