ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Hi-Wire Brewing is swapping last year’s sour summer of isolation for a bright and fun “Summer of Sour” in 2021 with the release of a new Session Sour Mixed 12-Pack featuring three playful and refreshing beers made for sharing with friends. Featuring two fan-favorite session sour ales plus a brand new flavor, this special mixed pack will be available throughout the summer season across Hi-Wire Brewing’s nine state footprint.
An ode to Hi-Wire’s southern roots, the newest addition to the brewery’s Session Sour Series mixes bold black tea with an eye-opening zip from lemon and the perfect amount of sweetness to have you dreaming of fried chicken and porch sitting. Sweet Tea Session Sour Ale? comes in at an easy 4.2% ABV making it the perfect crushable companion for summer hangouts. Brewed for the first time to be included in the Session Sour Mixed 12-Pack, Sweet Tea Session Sour Ale? joins forces with Hi-Wire’s unofficial beer of summer, Pink Lemonade Session Sour Ale (4.2% ABV), as well as the cocktail-inspired Lemon Drop Session Sour Ale (4.2% ABV) for an incredibly crushable and refreshingly fruited sour beer lineup. The tart and fun Pink Lemonade Session Sour Ale is brewed with raspberries, lemon peel, and lemongrass, which evokes a nostalgic candied-lemon aroma with a raspberry sweetness. On the other hand, Lemon Drop Session Sour Ale is crisp and refreshing with a combination of lemon, ginger, and rosemary lending bright notes of lemon-citrus, a slight ginger spice, and a hint of pine.
Hi-Wire Brewing’s Session Sour Mixed 12-Pack includes four 12-ounce cans of each of the three flavors – Sweet Tea, Pink Lemonade, and Lemon Drop – brewed with classic summer ingredients. Find this mixed pack for your next outdoor occasion at local retailers now, or get it shipped to 34 states from shop.hiwirebrewing.com in the coming weeks.
