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.

12 ounce bottle from Grapes & Grains, Clemmons. Pours a dark brown color with a thin frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of citrus and herbal hops, roast and chocolate. The taste is mild roasted malts and citrus hops with some caramel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, fair balance but flavors could be a bit bolder, slight lingering bitterness.
