A reprise of one of Highland’s favorite seasonal brews will soon appear in local groceries and restaurants. Cattail Peak wheat beer is brewed with 100% organic grains, a hint of rye and the tang and hue of organic hibiscus. This refreshing brew is as cool as the breeze that blows down from Mount Mitchell to Cattail Peak. Enjoy this delicious creation when the hottest summer day demands the best of the Blue Ridge.
Highland names all its seasonal brews after famous high altitude mountains in Western North Carolina and has recently partnered with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy to raise awareness of the importance of protecting this region’s unique mountain peaks. The mountains of the Southern Appalachians are the highest in the east and shelter rare natural communities. Their grassy balds and spruce-fir forests are home to rare species like the federally protected rock gnome lichen and the Carolina northern flying squirrel.
Cattail Peak is a mountain summit in Yancey County in the state of North Carolina. Cattail Peak climbs to 6,516 feet (1,986.08 meters) above sea level.
Anyone attempting to climb Cattail Peak and reach the summit should look for detailed information on the Cattail Peak area in the topographic map and the Mount Mitchell USGS quad.
