Description
Hi-Wire Brewing’s journey began in the summer of 2013 at their 2,700 square foot South Slope Brewery located at 197 Hilliard Ave in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District. With the 2015 opening of their Big Top Production Brewery up the road, the original Hi-Wire brewhouse is 100% dedicated to brewing award-winning sour and wild ales and one-off small batch beers.
Brewing beers with a connection to the past is important to us. We love to brew traditional styles that honor the heritage of our craft and pay respect to those who have crafted beer before us. Yet, as an American craft brewer, we are elated to participate in the culture of experimentation that has developed here.

Bottle from The Hop Shop. This is the collab with NoLa. Slightly hazy golden yellow color, scant head. Aroma of pine and herbs. Taste is very herbal, subtle tartness. More like a mixed drink, still refreshing.

Not sure what the hell this beer’s supposed to be, but whatever it is, it’s not great. Never really reaches any strong Belgian notes, instead coming across as woodsy, mildly vegetal golden cream ale. Very flat, grainy malts with a burnt undertone, and the hops add a medicinal bitterness that does nothing for the sweetness. Finishes burnt and bitter. Odd.

Fairly tame gose, a slightly tart, wheat-tinged middle meshing with a shitload of Himalyan salt. Never reaches much sourness, almost like a very bready kristallweizen instead of a gose, but it finishes clean and seems to be disappearing easily enough. Meh nose, good texture. Decent brew.

Draft at ANXO Cidery & Pinxtos Bar for CBC 2017. Poured a kind of light hazy orange color, very vibrant. Nice medium sized, slightly fluffy, off-white head. Aroma was light tart cherries, cut strawberry. Wood presence is noticeable, and there’s a smooth vanilla character here.
