Highland Brewing Purchases 30 Acres For $2.5 Million

From The Citizen Times:

Owners and investors in Highland Brewing Co. have purchased the remainder of the old Blue Ridge Motion Pictures lot where the brewery is based.

There are no immediate plans, however, to expand the Highland operation, said company founder and president Oscar Wong.

Highland already controlled 70,000 square feet and 10 acres of the lot, and has added another 110,000 square feet and 30 more acres, Wong said. The purchase from former studio owner Leanne Campbell was made by a group called Clan Highland, composed of brewery owners and investors, Wong said.

The purchase price was about $2.5 million, which is about the same cost of Highland’s move to the property in 2006, Wong said. The property was bought “so we have control of our own destiny” at the site, Wong said. Some of the property will continue to be leased to such companies as Troy & Sons distillery.
