ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Forget the diets and dry January promises because this month is all about dessert at Hi-Wire Brewing. Prepare to indulge in three decadent new releases featuring Wonka-inspired ingredients – S’mores Porter, Blueberry Crumble 10W-40 Imperial Stout, and Chocolate Raspberry Sour Smoothie.
Sweet, creamy, and made for fireside sipping, S’mores Porter (6% ABV) brewed with chocolate, fresh vanilla, and cinnamon has returned. Notes of graham cracker from golden naked oats and chocolate malts round out the flavors in this rich dark beer. Six-packs of 12-ounce cans will start hitting shelves this week throughout Hi-Wire’s nine-state distribution area and will be available through the end of March. This winter seasonal is available now in all of Hi-Wire’s taprooms as well at shop.hiwirebrewing.com for shipment to 36 states.
Hi-Wire just dropped one of their flashiest releases yet in the illustrious 10W-40 Imperial Stout series with the introduction of Blueberry Crumble 10W-40 Imperial Stout (8% ABV) in a can wrapped in sparkling purple glitter. Brewed with blueberries, molasses, cinnamon, cacao, vanilla, and lactose, this sweet and silky smooth special release is out now in Hi-Wire taprooms in 4-packs of 16-ounce cans, but it won’t stick around for long. Find this pastry-inspired stout on retailer shelves throughout Hi-Wire Brewing’s footprint starting this week.
The seventh edition of the brewery’s Sour Smoothie Series combines a hefty amount of fresh raspberries with a decadent dose of cacao nibs. Perfectly sour and ultra-fruited, Chocolate Raspberry Sour Smoothie (5.5% ABV) delivers on bold chocolate-covered raspberry flavors with a smooth and creamy finish. Shipping January 22, Hi-Wire’s latest sour smoothie will see limited distribution throughout the brewery’s footprint, and 4-packs of 16-ounce cans will be available across all five Hi-Wire Brewing taprooms or have Hi-Wire ship it to your doorstep via the brewery’s online beer shop.
