Saluting Satulah
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2017/09 - September
Founder and owner/brewer Dale Heinlein of Satulah Mountain Brewing Company will be the featured speaker at the September Village Nature Series.
The program, “Save Water, Drink Beer,” will be presented at 5:30 P.M. Tuesday, September 26, at The Village Green Commons on Frank Allen Road.
Heinlein will share the story of how his passion for home brewing became a local small business opportunity. He will also describe not only the process of craft brewing, but also the ingredients that make each beer unique. He uses a small scale system to produce a wide variety of styles, “everything from smoked Belgians, to stouts to IPAs.” His gold medal award-winning Sunset Saison incorporates parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Heinlein created Satulah Mountain Brewing Company, the first post-Prohibition brewery in Highlands and Macon County, in 2014. A native of Highlands, he selected the name for his brewery from one of the many notable mountains in the area with clear, cascading water. Heinlein explains that he chose the name, “because of my family, because of history and because of what this mountain represents to the people who share and love its beauty.”
Satulah Mountain was the first property purchased to preserve the natural beauty of Highlands and to establish what would eventually evolve into the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust.
The Village Nature Series is a monthly program featuring cultural and natural elements of the area sponsored by the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and The Village Green in Cashiers. Heinlein’s program is a perfect opportunity to draw attention to our natural resources as well as to the distinct craft of mountain micro breweries.
