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.

Clear brown body with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet,nutty malts. The flavor is lightly sweet with the hop bitterness being there just enough to keep the sweetness in balance. Decent Brown Ale.

Draft at the downtown brewery. Poured a dark, nearly black color with a tan head. Aroma was Vanilla, woody notes. Lots of stuff going on with this one. Booze is there, rye and barrel comes through, some light vinous notes. Not much straight saison here, but that’s okay.
