We'll Take the Lot: Drinking Every Beer at Hi-Wire Brewing (Durham, NC)

Welcome to "We'll Take The Lot," a craft beer/comedy series where Work For Your Beer co-founders Alicia and Mel taste every beer on tap at various breweries around the country — and eventually, the world.

In this week's episode...

We said we’d stop filming three episodes of “We’ll Take The Lot” on the same day and WE LIED because here we are at Hi-Wire Brewing in Durham, NC doing exactly that!

We drank 20 beers (!) in this stunning taproom while discussing things like:

• Our sushi preferences (we were hangry, okay?)

• How Hi-Wire is made for Mel since she’s an aerialist circus freak

• The time Adam from Taking Back Sunday literally got up and left NoDa 101 when Alicia started singing a Fall Out Boy song

• The insanely hot chiropractor Alicia had to see after Mel accidentally flung her into a wall during a game of “Hungry Hungry Humans” at Beer Camp

• Zebra Gum vs. Bubble Tape vs. Bubble Yum (yes, we tasted bubblegum flavors in a beer we tried)

• AND MORE, because we never stop talking

Alicia's favorite beer here was the “Bed Of Nails” brown ale while Mel preferred the small-batch Blueberry & Lime Basil Sour.
