Firestone Walker – Update on Firestone 14 and More
We run down a few Firestone Walker Brewing tidbits, including updated info on the upcoming Firestone 14 Release, as well as Double Jack, Abacus, and Black Xantus.
Firestone 14, the blended strong ale commemorating Firestone’s 14th Anniversary will be released on November 6th, 2010 at the Paso Robles, CA facility, as well as the Buellton Tap Room. A party will be held at the Paso Robles location. Entry fee is purchase of two bottles of 14, which will grant you access to the party featuring complimentary pizza from Full of Life Flatbread, surprise bourbon barrel aged beer (TBA), brewery tours, live music, a homebrew demonstration and more. Of interest, Firestone 14 will be released in CA,AZ,NV,WA,OR,NY and NJ so far. As of press, there should be roughly 2500 cases in targeted for circulation.
Double Jack is currently on tap at the Paso Robles and Buellton, CA locations. It’s set for bottle release in January 2010. This will be distributed in select markets, but has not been finalized as of this writing.
Black Xantus has made it’s return recently to the Paso Robles and Buellton locations on draft. Bottles of batch 2 are set to hit the shelves by the end of October, early November. We’re told this batch is drinking much differently, but no mention of what that entails. The price will be the same, roughly $15.00, and only 500 cases will go into circulation.
Abacus is still conditioning, and is slated for a February or March 2011 release. As we get closer to the date, we will try and bring you distribution and yield info.
