Description:

Touring/Sampling: Hi-Wire, French Broad River and Wedge Brewing.

The Saturday 12:00 PM tour meets in Pack Square at the Zebulon Vance Memorial which is located in downtown Asheville at the intersection of Patton Ave and Biltmore Ave. The first stop is Hi-Wire Brewing's large scale production brewhouse know as the Big Top. Hi-Wire brews a true year round lager as well as a variety of ales such as the Hi-Pitch Mosaic IPA and Bed of Nails Brown. Hi-Wire has a large canning line and conveniently packages their products for distribution. Next we will head into the Historic Biltmore Village and visit the French Broad River Brewery. Since their beginning in 2001, French Broad River has been known for brewing "World Beers with Asheville Style," such as the German Gateway Kolsch, English 13 Rebels ESB, American West Coast IPA and the Wee Heavy-Er Scottish Ale. The final stop, Wedge Brewing was established in 2008 in Asheville's River Arts District. The Wedge specializes in small batch brews and does not distribute their beer. Quite simply, what is brewed at the Wedge is drank at the Wedge. They quickly became a local favorite with styles such as the Iron Rail IPA combined with their relaxed artsy atmosphere. From Wedge we drop off back downtown at the Vance Memorial where you'll have the rest of Beer City at your fingertips!
