ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Hi-Wire Brewing is bottling up the last little bit of summer with September beer releases that are sure to have beer drinkers itching for a few more days of warm weather. Customers can expect a line-up of tart, hoppy, fruity, and refreshing beers to round out the end of a sun-baked season.
Back by popular demand, Hi-Wire Brewing will be releasing Pink Drink (4.2% ABV), an ultra crushable tart wheat ale with lemongrass & raspberries; simple, refreshing, & pink. A kettle sour with the perfect balance of raspberry fruit sweetness & fresh candied-lemon aroma from lemongrass. Available beginning Friday, September 7 in both of Hi-Wire Brewing’s taprooms in 4-packs of 16oz cans, this beer will see limited distribution the second week of September.
After taking home the award for “7th Best IPA” in the country by Paste Magazine, Hi-Wire Brewing wanted to put their Hazy&Juicy&Hoppy&Fresh Batch #1 (7.5% ABV) in the rotation one last time before summer came to a close. This double dry-hopped New England-style IPA is super hazy, juicy, and chock full of bright aroma, finishing super silky and smooth. A grip of oats and a touch of lactose rounds out this drinkable, tropical IPA. Available in 4-packs of 16oz cans, this beer will only be available in Hi-Wire Brewing’s two taprooms beginning Saturday, September 8 at 12 pm.
Lastly, Hi-Wire Brewing will be releasing their Flanders Red Sour Ale from their Sour & Wild Ale program on Saturday, September 15 at 12 pm from their South Slope taproom | 197 Hilliard Ave. The Flanders Red (5.8% ABV) is a perfectly balanced American version of a Belgian classic with strong flavors of cherry, dark fruit, and hints of vanilla & oak. From stainless to white wine barrels, before being bottled conditioned for 1.5 months, this beer boasts a total fermentation time of 18 months. This is one of the most popular offerings from the program and will be available in 750ml bottles, this sour ale will not see distribution.
