Tammy and Kipper’s Skip Day at Highland Brewing!

Work! Who needs it? Most of us! But what if you could take a day off to get a VIP Tour of Highland Brewing Company with Mix 965’s very own Tammy and Kipper! That’s exactly what happened on Tammy and Kipper’s very first Skip Day Adventure!

Four lucky listeners and their guests played hooky for the day and got a behind the scenes look at Asheville’s pioneer craft brewery, as well as a special tasting of some of Highland’s delicious brews.

There’s more fun in store! Tammy and Kipper’s next Skip Day Adventure is heading out white water rafting with The Adventure Center of Asheville!

A huge thanks to

Highland Brewing Company

The Adventure Center of Asheville

Massage Envy (For helping to bribe the boss)

and all of our lucky listeners!
