Firestone Walker Brewing- Buellton

About the Business

History

Established in 1996.

The story begins with Adam Firestone (a.k.a. The Bear) and David Walker (a.k.a. The Lion) debating the subject of beer. Their search for a decent local ale proved futile, and it wasn't long before they had goaded themselves into brewing their own. Their initial brewing efforts were made in a second-hand brewhouse with converted winemaking equipment--mostly with mixed results. But the hook was set when their first recipe for Double Barrel Ale was attempted. Our beers are available nationwide, yet they always reflect where they come from--a land where creativity and innovation are the rule. This is what it means to us to be a California beer company.
