Beginning today, Firestone Walker has opened up membership to its 2024 Brewmaster’s Collective, an exclusive beer club that allows members to dive deep into the minds of the brewers and experience the barrel-aging mastery that Firestone Walker has obtained. “If you’re into barrel-aged beers, you’re going to love what we have in store for you,” says Matt Brynildson, Brewmaster at Firestone Walker.
Known as one of the pioneers of barrel aging beers both on the clean and sour sides of the cellar, Firestone Walker has continued to innovate beyond their classic Parabola, Anniversary Ales and Barrelworks staples to produce a vast range of creations. The Brewmaster’s Collective presents something for everyone featuring beers ranging from more classic barrel treatments to decidedly modern and creative spirits and adjuncts.
A new feature of the club this year is a reduced price from $499 to $399, making the membership accessible to more people. For that fee, members receive a lot of value including 21 beers, exclusive merchandise and additional benefits.
Here is a breakdown of the 2024 Brewmaster’s Collective beers including some exciting collaborations with WeldWerks, FrauGruber, Omnipollo and Revolution.
