Central Coast

From the coast of California comes Mind Haze, a free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions—juicy, fresh and loaded with an imaginative array of tropical hop flavors.

A light, refreshing blonde ale crafted for the California lifestyle. Subtle malt sweetness is balanced by a touch of hops, creating a versatile beer with a clean finish.

With Flyjack, Brewmaster Matt Brynildson and his team created what many thought impossible: a full-flavored hazy IPA that flies under 100 calories. In Matt’s words, “We wanted to prove that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for calories.” The result is a remarkably drinkable hazy IPA that is crafted for adventure. Crisp and hazy, with hints of citrus and tropical fruit. A full-flavored Hazy IPA at just 4 carbs.

Union Jack is the IPA that helped blaze the trail for the revolutionary West Coast style. Named for the British Lion who co­founded our brewery, Union Jack is hopped to high hell yet eminently balanced from start to finish. This is a fad-proof IPA for any hop head. Pronounced pineapple, citrus and pine aromas with intense flavors of grapefruit and tangerine, all balanced by a hint of malt sweetness.

Nitro Merlin Milk Stout incorporates nitro gas for a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and milk sugar for a hint of sweet roundness. To create this beer, Brewmaster Matt “Merlin” Brynildson worked his magic to offer a true widget-free nitro experience straight from the can. Be sure to “master the surge pour” for maximum enjoyment. Ultra-smooth nitro mouthfeel. Dark, toasted malt flavors, a creamy texture and a touch of sweetness.

Sfizio is an Italian Style Pilsner with a snappy, cracker-like malt body and a tantalizingly bitter finish. This modern approach to pilsner is hopped as generously as an American IPA, but with Noble hop varieties that are more delicate than their American counterparts. Heaps of Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Aurora hops create fragrant notes of pine and eucalyptus as lively as a zip around San Francisco’s rolling city streets.

Every fall, our local winemaker friends join us at the brewery for an annual rite: the blending of our next Anniversary Ale. This year's blend is XXII, signifying 22 years since the founding of our brewery in 1996. XXII is a blend of Stickee Monkee, Parabola and Bravo aged in bourbon barrels, along with Helldorado aged in gin and rum barrels. The result is a beer of extraordinary dimension, complexity and staying power, to be savored now and cellared for later.

Raspberries and sour beer is a magical pairing that creates something more than the sum of its parts: a perfect summer day in a glass. Our version of a Framboise draws inspiration from the farmland in the Santa Cruz mountains, where windswept hills have warm days and cool nights that result in tight, red berries with complex flavors and a ruby red-color. Combined with our sour blonde ale, the final blend highlights huge fruit flavor and the bounty of Coastal California. Pair with pancakes, seared duck breast and summer fruit tarts.

Our region is blessed with an abundance and variety of fresh fruit. South of Barrelworks in the hills surrounding the hamlet of Ojai, there are groves of citrus – oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tangerines. We’ve been lucky to work with the Ojai native Friends Ranchers who specialize in tangerines. Friends offered the W. Murcott Tangerine which we zested for aroma, juiced for flavor, and then fermented with our base beer of Bretta Weisseto create a metamorphosis. Brought to life was Bretta Tangerine! A bountiful bouquet of citrus mingles with pronounced herbal notes, leading to funky, yeasty, citrus flavors. Soft cereal and oak aromas are enveloped by a firm acidity and tartness and punctuated by zesty tangerine. The finish is dry and crisp; a thoroughly enjoyable beverage. Santé!

A wonderful crisp peach flavor balanced with a subtle mint.

This smooth ale tastes citrusy with yeasty notes and a hint of peppery spice. Its dry finish and mild carbonation make it a perfect pairing with food.

Pivo is the beer that helped kick the doors down and liberate American pilsner from the clutches of industrial beer. Inspired by the dry-hopped Tipopils from Birrificio Italiano, Brewmaster Matt Brynildson drew upon multiple European influences to create this one-of-a-kind beer that sparked a legion of new craft pilsners across the U.S. Impeccably balanced. Floral aromatics, spicy herbal nuances and lemongrass notes from German Saphir hops.

Cool is an easy-drinking IPA fermented at a colder temperature than most ales for an exceptionally clean finish. As new as it is familiar, Cool combines Citra, Strata and Ekuanot hops and is brimming with aromas of vibrant tangerine and fresh mango. Like the simple pleasure of meandering through San Francisco on a cool, clear night, this IPA is a reason to fall in love with what was there all along.

Another offering from our “Bones” series, featuring the fermentation of fresh fruit. In this instance California white peaches from Sanger, CA are fermented with a brett’d saison that has been maturing four months in French oak barrels. The synergy between fresh peach, wild microflora and oak components create a bright white peach flavor mingling with spicy yeast and oak aromas. Soft acidity and a firm carbonation lend “pop” to the overall sensory experience. It took four separate fermentations to create this concoction. Santé!

The Point Bonita Lighthouse has been guiding ships through Bay Area fog for over 150 years. It won't help you see better, but our Bohemian Pilsner might open your eyes (and taste) buds a little. Rustic grains, noble hop character and body; yet light crisp and refreshing. Cheers!

Each vintage of Parabola showcases the power of our signature imperial stout aged for a full year in premium bourbon barrels. Parabola is a legend in the arena of barrel-aged stouts and is always one Firestone Walker’s most sought-after beers. Dense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate and roast coffee, with bourbon notes of tobacco, vanilla, caramel and plum.

Famed as one of the West Coast’s trailblazing imperial IPAs, our dearly departed Double Jack is back by popular demand.

A malt backbone brings balance to the high hop intensity.

This gorgeous Italian-style rose with garnet clarity and color is produced from Cannonau grapes grown with loving care on the Mosby estate.

A decadent oatmeal stout. Velvet Merlin offers robust cocoa and espresso aromas with subtle American hop nuances. Rich dark chocolate and roasted coffee flavor with a creamy mouth feel and wonderfully dry finish create the perfect balance in this full-bodied stout.

Easy Jack is back—and it’s easier than ever. Starting in 2019, Easy Jack is changing things up by dialing down the ABV. Now you get to enjoy the same hoppy goodness with even more drinkability.

DBA—a.k.a. Double Barrel Ale—was the first beer ever brewed Adam Firestone and David Walker and it became instant sensation. Today, DBA is regarded as an iconic California craft beer, and as an enduring tribute to traditional cask-fermented English ales. Always malty, never bitter. A smooth mid palate with ribbons of caramel, English toffee and toasted oak.

In a craft world dominated by hoppy beers, we went back to the basics with Firestone Lager. This may be our hardest beer to make, but it is our easiest one to drink. In the words of Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, “Firestone Lager is made for drinking, not thinking. It’s all about enjoying a good, clean beer.” Crisp and refreshing. A soft mouthfeel with bready malt notes and a whisper of German hop bitterness.

Chocolate, espresso and vanilla-bourbon aromas. Rich dark chocolate truffle, Bourbon and espresso create a smooth and incredibly drinkable barrel aged Oatmeal Stout.

Lucky Day is a true West Coast style IPA with a tropical, citrusy hop character, a resinous mouthfeel and dry finish. Packed with over three pounds per barrel of dry hops, this beer features a blend of some of the newest and most exciting hop varieties on the market.

Fittingly, Agrestic Ale begins its journey as DBA; the foundational beer first offered when Firestone Walker opened its doors in 1996. Oak barrels along with our proprietary collection of microflora act like a chrysalis process, transforming DBA into Agrestic Ale over the course of several months. The result is a synergistic blend of beer matured in French and American oak with signature flavors and aromas: wood-derived toast, lemon pith, and rosewood swirl on the nose and palate, followed by an amazing harmony of vanilla, coconut and Earl Grey tea. Dark cherries, caramel malt and spice round out its complexity and drinkability. The finish is crisp with a mouthwatering acidity and chewy tannins. Santé!
