Hi-Wire Brewing 12 Pack Collaboration
Consumers will be pleased with the unique styles available in the Hi-Wire Collaboration 12-pack.

We invited NOLA, Hardywood, and Holy City because of the similarity between all of us. All four breweries are about the same size volume-wise, make very approachable year-round beers, and all have adventurous specialty programs. It was a blast making beer with three companies who approach the beer world in such a similar way as we do."

Five years later and now slated for 4-state distribution, this one-of-a-kind beer has inspired some innovative engineering and a proprietary brewing process.

Hooligan Scotch Ale returns a wee bit early this holiday season – just in time to leave its indelible mark on 2016.
