Description
Firestone Walker Brewing Company began innocently enough: two brothers-in-law—Adam Firestone and David Walker—debating the subject of good and bad beer. Their search for a decent local ale finally led them to brew their own starting in 1996. The original Firestone Walker brewery was located in a converted shed on the family vineyard, where they experienced no shortage of trials and tribulations. From these humble beginnings was born one of the world’s most decorated breweries.

At Firestone Walker, Beer Before Glory is our mantra for reminding ourselves we do what we do because of the beer. Period. It’s our battle cry to never accept well enough. It’s the high aim for a perfect beer we will never make. Beer Before Glory is our craft, ever honed on the stone of humility.

Pale amber, and bright. Not much head. This has a good toasty, oaky note, with a bit of caramel. Decent quality, maybe I would prefer more malt complexity.

Yellowish golden colour, not much of a head. Aroma is peach, some nectar and mild wine gums. Flavour is wine gums, peach, some nectar and a bit baby food elements to it. Natural flavours? Meh...

375ml bottle from Firestone online. Nose is lightly funky mixed with an apple pear note. Murky yellow with a big, fine bubbled pale yellow head. Flavor is a hint of sweetness mostly covered by mild tartness.
