It’s arduous to imagine Firestone Walker is sufficiently old to rejoice its very personal quarter-life disaster, however the sturdy little brewery from Paso Robles has managed to age fairly nicely and develop into fairly the juggernaut of an award-winning firm. To rejoice its quadricentennial, FW has packaged three of its hottest choices right into a 12-pack, 4 bottles every. Let’s give them every a recent style.

Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale – The beer which put Firestone Walker on the map again when individuals thought the Spice Ladies and Los Del Rio had been cool. However not like these acts, this flagship beer has aged extremely nicely and stays in good style. The nostril is gentle on malt and heavy on caramel notes with toffee, brown sugar, and a bit of little bit of earthy hops in the direction of the end. It’s a constant and well-balanced barrel completed ale with no overpowering oak affect. 5% abv. B+

Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA – A number of tropical fruit on the nostril right here, with a little bit of spice and honey, however nothing trying to dominate. The palate is kind of malt-heavy with a wave of pine resin and bitter hops in the direction of the tip. It’s a nicely balanced west coast IPA that by no means lets its guard down. And the kick up in abv is a most welcome one. 7% abv. A-

Firestone Walker Pivo Pils – Bready and malt on the nostril with a gentle hint of hops and spice. It’s barely candy on the palate with hints of melon and citrus up entrance and an exquisite mix of coriander and cracked pepper on the end. Sharp however splendidly nice. 5.3% abv. B+

$16 per 12-pack of 12 oz. bottles
