Firestone Walker XV – The Blend Sheet
Firestone Walker XV Anniversary Ale will be released at Firestone Walker Brewing in Paso Robles, CA tomorrow. We got a sneak peak at the ‘scroll’ that comes with each boxed ale. Of most importance is the blend sheet, which contains the components of the ale, what barrels they were aged in, and what party they plan in the final blend. Enjoy!
