Firestone Walker Brewing Company

Firestone Walker brewed its first beer in 1996 in a small facility rented from the Firestone Vineyard estate in Santa Barbara Country. In 2001 owner Adam Firestone and David Walker purchased the SLO Brewing Company located in Paso Robles, CA. Firestone Walker´s ales are selectively fermented in the Firestone Union oak barrel brewing system. The Firestone Union incorporates 65-gallon, medium and heavy toast American oak barrels. Firestone Walker Brewing Company continues to grow as the palates of Americans migrate to craft beer. Their brew staff have picked up "Mid Size Brewery of the Year" at the World Beer Cup an unmatched four times.
