Wicked Weed Adding Freak-Ish Pale Ale & Lime Drop Cans

Today I have a new Freak Of Nature variant coming soon from Wicked Weed in Asheville, North Carolina. This is Freak-Ish and it will be a pale ale that will hit 5.4%-AbV. The beer will be packaged in these 12oz cans and kegs, and stay tuned for release info.

I’ve also added in 2025 Lime Drop lime & salt lager (4.8%-AbV, 12oz Cans).

Label Text Freak-Ish Pale Ale:

Freak-Ish pale ale takes the massive hop intensity of Freak Of Nature, pairs it with a kiss of malt character, and packs it all into a pale ale body. Freakishly big flavor in a little package for the hop heads who want it all.

Label Text Lime Drop:

“Not all lime lagers are created equal. Our crisp lager is balanced with lime flavors and bright sea salt to deliver the most explosively drinkable experience. Refresh responsibly.”

About Wicked Weed:

2014 – 2015
The growth of Wicked Weed’s sour program led to the opening of the South’s first sour beer-dedicated taproom, the Funkatorium. Wicked Weed also began to distribute beer throughout North Carolina in 2014.
Wicked Weed grew its self distribution statewide to 240 accounts. To keep up with demand, they opened their 50 barrel Clean Production Facility, Wicked Weed West located in Candler, NC. This is where flagship brands like Pernicious and Freak of Nature were bottled for the first time.

2016 – 2017
Wicked Weed sold their NC distribution rights to expand to over 2,000 plus accounts statewide and expanded distribution to Atlanta, GA. They released their first ever 6 pack cans and opened new markets in MA, DC, VA, and PA. More distribution meant more demand for sour beer so Wicked Weed opened their Headquarters and Sour Beer Production Facility, The Funk House in Arden, NC.

Wicked Weed moved their first brands into cans while completing a 30K sq. ft. expansion of Wicked Weed West. In order to continue the growth they had seen in the past six years, Wicked Weed Brewing entered into a partnership with the Anheuser-Busch family of craft breweries. Wicked Weed continued expanding to new markets in the Southeast including SC and TN.

2018 – 2019
Wicked Weed donated over $1.6M to Asheville non-profit organizations through the launch of their Beers that Build program. They expanded distribution throughout the Northeast including Manhattan.
Wicked Weed opened a fine dining restaurant next to its Funkatorium location, Cultura, showcasing sour beer in a modern, elevated space. Two months later, they opened a taproom at Wicked Weed West overlooking the entire production facility giving guests a front row seat to the brewing process while enjoying Wicked Weed beers.

Today
Now, with four locations in Asheville including three taprooms and a fine dining restaurant, Wicked Weed shows no signs of slowing down. They continue to grow while focusing on innovation, quality, and strong roots in their community of Asheville, North Carolina.
