Hi-Wire Brewing started in 2013 in Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District and quickly grew into a multi-location favorite. Their original 2,700 sq. ft. specialty brewery serves innovative yet approachable craft beers, with a focus on balanced lagers and ales alongside creative sours and barrel-aged stouts.

In 2015, they expanded with a large production brewery and taproom in Biltmore Village, where you can watch the brewing process while enjoying fresh pints in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Hi-Wire also runs the RAD Beer Garden on Lyman Street, and took home a bronze at the 2026 World Beer Cup.

Locals dig Hi-Wire Brewing for its consistent quality, broad selection, and friendly vibe. It’s a spot for both craft beer newbies and aficionados, where you can find session IPAs, hazy favorites, and rich dessert beers all under one roof. 

The taprooms host games like shuffleboard and soccer pool, live music, and special events that bring the Asheville community together.
