After being named Best New Brewery in the State by RateBeer for 2013 earlier in the year, the NC Brewer’s Cup was the first competition in which Hi-Wire had ever entered its beer. 

Says co-owner Adam Charnack, “We’re ecstatic! These awards reinforce what folks have been saying to us both in Asheville and throughout most of North Carolina – that they love our beers. To win a Gold medal in our first competition, and to be awarded the Second Best Beer in the state AND the Best Pale Ale in the state is just blowing our minds right now!”
