Firestone Walker Anniversary Ale XXVIII (355ml) / Anniversary Ale 28

Firestone Walker's 28th anniversary beer. A masterpiece that harmonizes the malty flavor of barley wine and the fragrant chocolate flavor of stout. With a smooth mouthfeel, the flavor of caramel cookies, vanilla, and oak spreads in your mouth.

This beer is brewed every fall in collaboration with a local winemaker to celebrate Firestone Walker's anniversary.

Founded in 1996, Firestone Walker will celebrate its 28th anniversary in 2024, and so the XXVIII Anniversary Ale is named after the company.

The journey to creating Anniversary Ale begins with our winemaker blenders working in groups to combine countless ingredients to create their own original blends.

All of the blends produced are selected through blind testing, and the one selected will become the base for that year's Anniversary Ale.

"Winemakers are becoming more sophisticated in the art of blending," says Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson.

That's why their cooperation has been essential since we started Anniversary Ale in 2006.

” he says.

This 28th anniversary blend is a masterpiece that perfectly combines the malty flavor of barley wine and quadruple with the fragrant chocolate flavor of stout.

Aromas reminiscent of caramel and bourbon with nuances of cinnamon candy and dark cherries.

It has a smooth texture and the flavors of caramel cookies, vanilla, and oak spread throughout your mouth.
