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.

Missed #stoutFriday due to other activities, opening #stouturday with a banger that is stout-adjacent enough to qualify 😎

#firestoneWalker 2022 Stickee Pig is a central coast quad ale aged in #whistlePig rye whiskey barrels with BA maple syrup!

I’d roll in this quad mud any day! Rich with caramel and vanilla, full bodied with a whiskey and maple finish.

Since #itsAlwaysStoutSeason it’s a #stout with dinner

#firestoneWalker Collective Choice 2024

Dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, in a complex rich body with a light bitter barrel finish. Fabulous!

More #tavour sourced treats for this flavor-rich week.

#firestoneWalker Collective Choice 2024 BBA #stout

Dark chocolate and coffee lead, burnt sugar, cinnamon and vanilla notes lead to a light bitter finish. Tasty!

Needed a pairing for dinner and had a second bottle of #firestoneWalker Boilermaker 2022 for #stoutThursday

Thin body with a rye whiskey lead and a bit of chocolate. Reasonably tasty but not “wow”. Let it warm to squeeze out the flavors.
