New Year Round: Hi-Wire Mountain Wheat

Hi-Wire Mountain Wheat Ale launches this month, a new year-round beer by the Asheville, North Carolina-based brewery.

Wheat beers had a strong 2022 in sales across the industry, so Hi-Wire figures it’s time through one of their own out there to kick off spring. Mountain Wheat is brewed with lemon peel and coriander, and per the brewery is “bright and refreshing,” with hints of lemon shandy and citrus.

with few options brewed in the Carolinas, we feel this is the perfect time to throw our hat in the ring for this extremely approachable style.”

Hi-Wire co-owner Chris Frosaker

Hi-Wire Mountain Wheat Ale is available in 6-packs of 16-ounce cans and across the brewery’s 9-state distribution area.

Style: Wheat Ale (w/ Lemon Peel. Coriander.)
Availability: 16oz Cans, Draft. Year-Round.

Summer Tritonia: Creature Comforts Cucumber and Lime

Creature Comforts Cucumber and Lime Tritonia is back in cans ahead of the official start of summer.

In 2017, Cucumber and Lime Tritonia cans were finally released complimenting the popular draft offering. The base tart gose is brewed with coriander and sea salt, plus a blend of fresh lime and cucumber.

Thanks to the brewery’s added capacity at their second facility in their hometown of Athens, Georgia, the Tritonia series is a little less scarce and a lot more delicious.

Cucumber has a subtle flavor, making this vegetable a little complicated to pop in beer. Creature Comforts has taken the time to dial in the cucumber flavor in order, striking a beautiful balance with the tartness of the lime and base gose, and summery, garden-freshness of the cukes.

Creature Comforts Cucumber and Lime Tritonia is one of a few “Tritonia”  variants available during the year.12-ounce cans and draft will be available for a limited time starting June 18th.

Style: Gose (w/ Lime, Cucumber, Sea Salt, Coriander)
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft. Limited Release.
Distribution: Athens/Atlanta
Latest Return: 6/18/19
