Introduction

North Carolina’s Hi-Wire Brewing has arrived at the Craft Club for another month, and their line-up keeps getting more and more interesting. Established in 2013, Hi-Wire has grown by leaps and bounds. From a two beer operation to the now multi-facility craft powerhouse. Their newly opened facility allows them the freedom to experiment with barrel-aged sour and wild ales, while maintaining their 8 beer line-up of year-round brews. Their recent success has also given Hi-Wire the chance to open up a program for charitable works around Ashville and the state. Improving the quality of North Carolina’s beer and local community - it doesn’t get much better. The Lager is a straight across the plate classic beer that brings everything you expect and desire in a lager to the table. Serves well at 6°C and can cellar up to a year.


How it looks

Pours a golden straw colour with a clear body and medium carbonation. A thin layer of sticky, fine bubbles forms the head out of the can.

How it smells

This lager doesn’t give you a lot to go on when you stick your sniffer down in the glass, but you will pick up some lighted toasted grain and a sweet almost corn-mash aroma of the malt. A touch of lemon zest in the edges.

How it tastes

Right away you’ll get a sizzling crispness on the tongue, but this beer mellows out quickly and brings the sweeter elements into the game as it warms up. Clean and mellow tasting, it eases up to an almost buttery feel in the mouth with a little zestiness and light grain. The body is lean and mean, and the flavour is light - this is an easy drinking beer for the patio and great for a BBQ but don’t expect a lot of depth.

Recommended food pairing

This is lean and cutting, so get into something fatty with body. Pressure-cook some short ribs and go to town.
