The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Gaelic Ale is the flagship beer from Highland Brewing Company, Asheville's original craft brewery and one of the pioneers of the North Carolina beer scene. This deep amber American ale is built around a generous, rich malt backbone that gives it real body and warmth in the glass.
Cascade and Willamette hops bring a layered, classic American hop character — think floral and lightly citrusy notes — that balances the malt sweetness without overwhelming it. The result is a smooth, sessionable ale with a toasty, caramel-leaning finish and just enough hop bitterness to keep things lively.
Gaelic Ale is best enjoyed in a nonic or shaker pint glass at cellar temperature to let the malt character fully express itself. It's a natural match for hearty, savory food: think grilled burgers, roasted root vegetables, aged cheddar, or a plate of fish and chips. The malty depth also stands up well to barbecue and smoked meats.
Packaged in 6-packs, Gaelic Ale is a reliable, flavorful choice whether you're new to amber ales or you've been drinking Highland's beers for years. Shop Highland Brewing Gaelic Ale online at Habits Bottle Shop and bring home a taste of Asheville's craft beer roots.
What To Expect In The Glass

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
