Firestone Walker Tap Takeover #2

Part Two of our two-part event. Featuring even MORE killer brews from Firestone Walker Brewing Co.! This time we’re tapping up:

Helldorado: Blonde Barley Wine-
13.2% abv 25 IBU
You’ve been warned: Helldorado may be blonde in color, but if you take it lightly, you’ll get gunned downed by a blast of barrel–aged flavor at an ABV of 12 percent. The driving idea behind Helldorado was to create a super blonde barley wine that could still carry the strong barrel character imparted by aging the beer in retired spirits barrels. The result is an unlikely brew whose light complexion belies a full–bodied attitude and intense barrel expression.

Agrestic: American Wild Red Ale-
6.6% abv
The 2015 Batch #2 begins its journey as DBA, then transforms into Agrestic by a “chrysalis” process involving 85% French and 15% American oak barrels and our proprietary collection of microflora. To blend, we selected beer matured eight to 36 months in barrels, creating a synergistic beer. Like Batch #1, Agrestic Batch #2 signature flavors and aromas shine. Toasted oak, lemon pith, and rosewood swirl on the nose and palate, followed by an amazing harmony of vanilla, coconut, Earl Grey tea, dark cherries and spice. The finish is crisp, with a mouthwatering acidity and chewy tannins. A santé!

Nitro DBA: British Pale Ale-
5% abv 30 IBU
DBA—a.k.a. Double Barrel Ale—is the trailblazing flagship beer that started it all for us back in 1996. Partially fermented in our patented Firestone Union oak-­‐barrel brewing system, DBA quickly took the Central Coast by storm and set the pace for future beers to come. Today, DBA is regarded as a California classic, and stands as an iconic tribute to traditional cask-­‐fermented English ales. Pale malts create a smooth middle with ribbons of caramel, English toffee and toasted oak.

Helldorado and Agrestic will start pouring at 6:00 p.m. and Nitro DBA will be tapped up and pouring all day long. Kim from Firestone Walker will be here as well to talk about the brews and other cool stuff Firestone Walker has got going on. Firestone Walker schwag abound.
