Hi-Wire Brewing–Charlotte Partners with Acclaimed Asheville Cidery to Open Noble Cider & Mead Bar
A new Asheville collaboration is coming to Charlotte’s South End. Hi-Wire Brewing Charlotte is partnering with Noble Cider, one of North Carolina’s most celebrated craft cideries, to open a dedicated Noble Cider & Mead Bar inside Hi-Wire’s taproom. The partnership will bring 100% gluten-free options to the space—expanding the taproom’s already diverse lineup of beer, cocktails, non-alcoholic, and THC-infused drinks.
The second back bar inside Hi-Wire’s expansive taproom will be transformed with Noble branding and will pour a rotating selection of Noble’s award-winning ciders and meads, all made in Asheville from apples grown in Western North Carolina. From their partnership with Lewis Creek Orchard in Henderson County to their co-ownership of the juicing company Blue Ridge Pure, Noble oversees every step of the process to ensure their products reflect authentic, farm-to-can craftsmanship.
“Our mission is to make the things that bring people together,” said Adam Charnack, Hi-Wire Brewing Co-Founder and CEO. “By partnering with another small, Asheville-based company, we’re not just expanding our menu—we’re expanding our community. Whether you drink beer, cider, cocktails, or prefer non-alcoholic options, there will be something here for everyone.”

Hi-Wire–Charlotte is already known for being a community hub—hosting weekly events, arcade games, and providing a dog- and family-friendly atmosphere. The addition of the Noble Cider & Mead Bar reinforces Hi-Wire’s commitment to inclusivity and hospitality, creating a one-stop destination for groups with varied tastes.
“I’ve always admired Hi-Wire’s culture,” said Lief Stevens, owner of Noble Cider. “When Adam and I met, we immediately saw the opportunity to create something special for Charlotte—a place that celebrates great craft beverages and the people who enjoy them.”
Guests can expect the new Noble bar to open by Thanksgiving, featuring a refreshed look and full cider-and-mead lineup. A selection of Hi-Wire brews will continue to pour from the outdoor bar window through the summer months.
“We’re thrilled to expand our cider and mead offerings to Charlotte,” Stevens added. “And maybe even turn a few ‘not-cider’ skeptics into fans.”
