Fun place to sample their beer! Parking was easy and the Foothills Food Truck (burgers, hotdogs, and fries) was amazing!
I love this place! Excellent staff, drink, and food truck. They are taking covid seriously and provide plenty of space to spread out and enjoy yourself.
We were in the igloos and had a great time. We would recommend it sipping beers in one. Definitely a different experience!
The beer was AWESOME. The experience was pretty expensive, including $25 for an igloo rental and some mystery beers on our tab that I didn’t question at the time, so this might be a special occasion type brewery as I can’t remember spending this much at another Asheville spot without food involved, but I still loved it. I’d put it in the top 3-4 breweries in Asheville which is saying a lot, given the standard here.
Great experience going to a brewery during Covid! Rented an igloo and loved it! Definitely recommend!!!
DIdn't realize that there was no kitchen in the brewery, just a small food truck with limited items. Not worth the $25 reservation for an igloo.
Not very well organized. Took 15-20 min of our reserved time waiting in line to set up a tab, then waiting in line again to order a pitcher. No table service in the igloo, so there was a lot of time waiting in line for beer. The igloo experience itself was very much a disappointment. It was wet inside from condensation and clammy. Being charged $25 for an igloo that you only use when not in line is kinda of a bummer. The beer itself, as always, was amazing.
We really enjoyed the privacy of the igloo and the outside experience during a rainy cold day! We planned on eating at the food truck and were disappointed and surprised when they closed before 6pm on a Saturday evening.
We would rent it again as long as we brought our own food.
thank you :)
Just passing through Asheville and we enjoyed sandwich in an igloo. Everything great!
Thank you, Robert!
We got bad info on when the food truck would open and had to leave and get take away from a close by location is the only reason I gave a low mark on food. We really love this venue.
Happy to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thanks for your review and feedback. For next time, outside food is always welcome, and our on-site food truck is open Thursday-Monday. Cheers!
We rented one of the igloos at Hi-Top. They were clean but there was nothing to them. They are just clear bubbles sitting over a picnic table. They are not heated and they needed some decorations. A little disappointing but they do give you some privacy.
The drinks were great and service was great also. I would definitely go back but it needs “something” to add to the atmosphere to make it nicer and more fun.
There is no food. None. I paid $25 to reserve an “igloo” that was freezing with no heaters. There’s no service. All they have is beer. From out of town and had no clue.
First time to hi-wire. We reserved an igloo to better enjoy our time and the space in complying with social distancing. It was really cool and we had a nice time enjoying the AMAZING options they had on tap. There was a food truck on site and they were awesome too!
Our igloo was amazing! We will be back. Clean, warm, wind wasn’t an issue and it was such a cozy fun experience!
The best COVID protocol I've encountered. The beer was excellent as well. So was the food from Foothills.
The Igloo wasn’t really worth renting, the tables inside them are skinny, rickety, and uncomfortable. The food was from a food truck and was just kinda what you’d expect from a food truck. The beer was alright, just not our favorite. The staff was nice, but didn’t seem very organized.
