Asheville, North Carolina's Highland Brewing has been producing great craft beer for upwards of 15 years, and this Friday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. one their brewers, Joey Justice, will be personally presenting some of their finest selections at the Charleston Beer Exchange.

The CBX blog has all the details:

Joey will be talking shop about all things Highland, brewing and the good beer life in general. We’ll be running a super deal on Highland Gaelic Ale growlers and we’ll have a very, very special treat: 22oz bottles of vintage 2008 Highland Imperial Black Mocha Stout will be available in limited quantities! Joey will be happy to sign bottles too!

The featured beer is obviously hard to come by.  Imperial Black Mocha Stout weighs in at 9.5% ABV, garners an impressive A- from BeerAdvocate, and a 95 from Ratebeer.  Don't let the name fool you, the mocha goodness is all coaxed from special roasted barley.

Charleston Beer Exchange is located at 14 Exchange Street downtown.
