It’s a sad day for craft beer enthusiasts in Birmingham. Today, Hi-Wire Brewing announced that it would be closing its Birmingham taproom effective immediately.

The decision to close the Birmingham location comes after Hurricane Helene devastated the East Coast, including Asheville, which is home to the headquarters for Hi-Wire Brewing.

Hi-Wire Brewing closing Lakeview taproom

Hi-Wire Brewing broke the news on social media with the following statement:

“Today, we share some truly heartbreaking news. Our taproom has been closed, effective immediately.

To our Birmingham family—thank you for making this space so special. We are endlessly proud of our amazing taproom team, the community who welcomed us, and the fun we have had together. We love you, Bham.

The impact of Hurricane Helene has left Hi-Wire Brewing’s home in Asheville devastated, affecting our headquarters, distribution center, RAD Beer Garden location, and production at our Biltmore Village brewery. We’re overwhelmed by the love and support we have received during this time from our guests, partners, and local communities.

While we focus our efforts on rebuilding in Asheville, we’re committed to continuing our mission to bring you the beer you love, good times that create great memories, and the vibrant community spaces that connect us all. We continue to welcome you at our nine other locations across four states.

Thank you for standing with us through every high and low. We’ll get through this together.

Love y’all”
Team Hi-Wire
