Received earlier this year, we sat down with #firestonewalker's Anniversary Ale XXIX.
Out of the bottle, XXIX produces an enthusiastic amount of head, resting on a pool of opaque darkness. Receding, quickly, there remains a wreath on the surface.
Swirling and sniffing, we recover notes of vanilla, cacao chocolate, dark fruit (mostly cherry), and a bit of barnyard funk (not sour).
Sipping, we recover notes of baking spices (cinnamon and nutmeg), more dark fruit, some vanilla, cacao chocolate, and some molasses. Overall, XXIX has a strong mouthfeel, a definite alcoholic warmth, and a lingering bitterness that is complimented with alcoholic warmth.
Pairings? Go crazy with a tiramisu. creme brulee, or a black forest cake.

But, we want to hear what you thought of this release? Share thoughts in the comments.

Northwest Beer Guide Mar 29

There’s something quietly poetic about raising a glass of Firestone Walker Brewing Company’s DBA on their 30th year—especially knowing how many moments slip by while we’re busy planning for the next one. The oak and biscuit drift in like memories you didn’t realize were already fading, and the citrusy herbal edges feel almost like a reminder: you meant to be there.

The Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest is weeks away like every year —full of laughter, rare pours, and fleeting conversations—but somehow this year it existed just out of reach. It’s strange how opportunities are missed. Sometimes they just pass quietly, like a festival weekend you assumed you’d make time for.

And so here you are, holding DBA instead—its layered, contemplative character doing what it does best: inviting you to slow down, to notice, and maybe to promise yourself that next time, you won’t let it pass unnoticed.
