Asheville, North Carolina isn’t about beer alone – it’s about a community that provides a platform for one of the widest and most fun drinking cultures that I have ever experienced. With that being said… the best way to take a peek behind the curtain of that drinking culture is to sit down and have a chat at one of the breweries that helps give the city the nickname Beer City USA.

Hi-Wire Brewing’s Chris McLain sat down over a pint with me earlier this year to help showcase not just what makes the brewery who they are, but what makes Asheville as a city who it is overall.

There’s more to come about ‘Beer City’ – and how it all relates to our hometown here in Cincinnati… stay tuned.
