Hi-Wire Brewing RAD Beer Garden

07/17/2026

🎪 THE BIG DAY IS TOMORROW! 🎪

We are celebrating our 13th Anniversary all day long from 12-10 PM at RAD! Entry is completely free, so come ready for roaming entertainers, a Ferris wheel ($3 a ride), and tunes by Hi-Vi Sound System in the beer garden. Bring your favorite camp chairs or blankets and get ready to kick back with some incredible local food trucks!

We love your pets, but please leave them home to nap in the AC, it's going to be a hot and crowded one!

🚗 Pro-Tip: Parking down here will fill up fast. Save yourself the headache, park downtown, and hop on our FREE, CONTINUOUS SHUTTLE running from our South Slope taproom (197 Hilliard Ave) straight to the party all day long.

See you tomorrow!

Drinking thirteen years' worth of celebratory beer on an empty stomach is a tricky balancing act best left to the professionals. By professionals, we mean absolutely nobody.

To keep us all beautifully upright, we’ve gathered a spectacular crew of local food wizards, featuring Happy Belly’s towering burgers, Smokee’s wood-fired pizzas, Defiance's golden empanadas, Blunt's warm pretzels, and icy, sweet nostalgic treats from Nice & Icy and Frios Pops.

Bring your appetite and your favorite humans down to the Hi-Wire River Arts Campus this Saturday 12-10pm!

Thirteen years of Hi-Wire has led us right to this exact moment. And by moment, we mean the official release of our Anniversary Helles this Saturday at our 13th anniversary party in Asheville!

We brewed this Munich-style lager the proper German way, pouring it bright and bready with notes of warm biscuit crust and just the softest pinch of herbal hops in the background. It’s smooth, soft, and honestly a little too easy to finish.

If you can't make it to the party in Asheville this weekend, don't worry, we’re shipping 4-packs out to our other taprooms later this month so you can get in on the action.

We’ve got a lot of food truck coverage spots happening for the rest of the month at Hi-Wire RAD, which is excellent news if you like enjoying great bites while hanging out in the beer garden. Consider this your casual reminder that you don't have to cook dinner tonight. You're welcome.

Here is a little piece of the schedule hitting the lot:

Mac & Cheese Hound is pulling up for National Mac n Cheese Day with some seriously comforting, cheesy masterpieces. Nice & Icy will be popping up with Italian ice surprises to keep the summer heat at bay, and our regulars Happy Belly are holding it down as usual with their classic smash burger lineup. We also have giant pizza slices, pineapple tacos, and shrimp fried rice headed our way before the month wraps up.

Do your future self a massive favor & hit the link below to check out the full food truck schedule so you can plan your visits.

What’s a Hot Ghoul Summer without a little Horror? Seriously though, hold my hand please.

Dark Market is back tonight with a Special Edition…the first Summerween Horrow Show. Hosting 35 of the best artists, makers and curators in the Southeast, this highly coveted event will still be full of our typical mystics, oddities, apothecary, curiosities, and tarot, but we are also hosting our darker, more macabre side.

We'll have multiple food vendors parked out front including: Tin Can Pizzeria, Happy Belly, Silly Willie's, and Nice & Icy. For behind the bar we will have a couple spooky inspired cocktails such as a Bloody Good Margarita & Haunted Paradise Slush.

Parking can also be scary, so we suggest arriving early!
