Like many breweries, Firestone Walker was founded because of a lack of good beers. After extensive market research, Adam Firestone and David Walker were not satisfied with the beer selection in their Californian homeland and were practically forced to brew their own beer. Today, they enrich the beer scene in California and the world with tasty craft beers that are filled to the brim with enthusiasm, passion and hops.
The brewery's founding location is quite unusual: the brothers-in-law started their first brewing attempts in the backyard of the family vineyard. The two constructed a small brewery from the winery's disused equipment and began to tinker with their creations to improve the Californian beer landscape. Their efforts were initially crowned with mediocre success. Some attempts succeed, others do not. But as we all know, you learn from your mistakes and that was the case with Adam and David, nicknamed The Bear and The Lion. Their first shaky steps towards a brewery were more than 25 years ago. On the way from then to the present, the two put together a great team of expert brewers. The first and by no means the only one to support the duo was Matt Brynildson. He earned his nickname Merlin through his magical touch when it comes to brewing. He joined in 2001 and has been conjuring up the finest creations for Firestone Walker ever since.
The character of their beers is intended to reflect the brewery's Californian homeland: creativity and innovation are part of the spirit of California and are also reflected in the delicious brews. The brewers draw their ideas and bubbling energy from their community and the diverse and breathtaking nature that surrounds them. The team also attaches great importance to the craftsmanship of their production process. All beers are made by hand and mature in peace to become glorious delicacies. Quality and taste are top priority. Beers like their Mind Haze IPA bring the best of California into your glass: the hop-intensive beer delights with a light, fluffy character and a juicy aroma that consists of the taste of sun-kissed tropical fruits and strong hop notes. The brewers worked on the recipe for a whole year and only put down the mash paddle when they were completely satisfied with their creation. The result is an incomparably refreshing Hazy IPA with a tropical flair and luxurious mouthfeel.
