Asheville's defining beer style: a soft, hazy New England IPA with low bitterness and tropical-fruit hop saturation, pioneered locally by Burial Beer, Hi-Wire, and Wicked Weed.

Asheville earned the title Beer City USA four years running from 2009. The local hazy IPA tradition crystallised around Burial Beer Co (founded 2013) and Hi-Wire (2013), both of which shifted the city's focus from English-style ales to West Coast and then New England IPAs. The annual Burial Spirits beer festival is now a national draw.
