Hi-Wire Brewing is sliding into February with three beer releases, including seasonal Aerialist Spring Lager, Man Eater Double IPA, and a draft-exclusive Bohemian Dark Lager. In-depth beer descriptions, release dates, and distribution details can be found below, or you can visit www.hiwirebrewing.com for more information.
Aerialist Spring Lager (5.5% ABV), Hi-Wire Brewing’s spring seasonal, pairs two styles of beer: A German-Style Lager and an American IPA. Brewed with their house lager yeast and dry-hopped with Huell Melon and Mandarina Bavaria, this drinkable spring beer has big hop flavors of citrus and tropical fruit which give way to more subtle flavors of peach, melon, and apricot with a smooth, balanced finish. “This beer combines the profiles of two of my favorite styles, lagers and IPAs,” says Hi-Wire’s Head Brewer, Luke Holgate. “The light grain bill and clean lager fermentation profile create the perfect canvas for these hops to shine.” This beer will hit shelves the first week of February in canned 6-packs across Hi-Wire’s entire distribution footprint and will also be available on draft in numerous bars and restaurants across their territories through early May.
Man Eater Double IPA (8.3% ABV) triumphantly returns in 4-packs of 16oz cans. Hopped at a rate of 3.5 pounds per barrel, this is a seriously hopped Double IPA. Man Eater marries Amarillo’s spicy aromas with Citra’s classic notes of lemon zest and mandarin orange. These big hop aromas accompany a spicy, citrusy, floral flavor with a warming alcohol finish. Man Eater will be available beginning February 8 in both of Hi-Wire’s taprooms and will see full distribution in Hi-Wire Brewing’s footprint.
Last up for February is a draft exclusive Bohemian Dark Lager (6.6% ABV). This is a smooth and rich dark German-style lager with the perfect balance of hops and malt. Soothing notes of toasted hazelnut, light chocolate, and a subtle roast flavor to finish crisp and clean. Bohemian Dark Lager will see limited distribution throughout Hi-Wire’s entire footprint.
