With a shared entrepreneurial spirit and love for craft beer, Adam Charnack and Chris Frosaker (two college roommates turned business professionals) saw an opportunity in Asheville, NC, that they couldn’t turn down. 

When a local brewery closed, Adam and Chris took over the lease and purchased the equipment, and with an idea and vision, turned it into the place that we all know and love — Hi-Wire Brewing.

In the summer of 2013, the doors opened to our 2,700 sq. ft. South Slope Specialty Brewery, located in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District. And in the years since then, we’ve continued to grow and have proudly opened multiple taproom locations with plans to open more in the future. 

Along with expanding our locations over the years, we’ve also grown our stellar lineup of beers. Filled to the brim with creative flair, our specialty craft beers are meant to excite the palate and offer a little something for everyone — beer enthusiasts and newbies alike. We’re not an exclusive craft beer club around here. We’re all about being a place where anyone can come enjoy a respite from their day and discover new flavors and different styles. It’s that simple. Because we’re all about Good Beer and Good Times.

Our vision:

Create meaningful experiences by making the highest quality beer, cultivating community, and inspiring fun and ingenuity.
