Beer is supposed to be fun ... Hi-Wire completely embodies the idea that you can take the science of making beer seriously without taking yourself too seriously.

Sarah Gulotta, production brewer at Hi-Wire Brewing in Asheville, NC, discusses her education as one of the first students in Asheville-Buncombe Community College's brewing program, her work as a hot side production brewer at Hi-Wire, and the importance of the Pink Boots Society, Biere de Femme, and other opportunities for people to see women working in the brewing industry.
