Firestone Walker 29th XXIX Anniversary Ale 2025

Celebrate nearly three decades of brewing mastery with Firestone Walker’s 29th Anniversary Ale — a meticulously crafted, barrel‑aged blend that embodies the brewery’s signature artistry, depth, and California heritage. Released in extremely limited quantities, XXIX is a collector’s essential and a showcase of Firestone Walker’s most exceptional vintage components.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Layers of toasted coconut, cocoa nib, vanilla bean, and charred oak rise from the glass, supported by warm caramel and dark fruit.
• Palate: A luxurious fusion of bourbon‑barrel stout, barleywine, and strong ale components. Expect rich waves of molasses, toffee, espresso, fig, and dark chocolate, balanced by subtle tannins and a warming bourbon backbone.
• Finish: Long, silky, and complex — a slow‑unfolding finale of oak spice, brown sugar, and roasted malt.

Craftsmanship

Each year, Firestone Walker collaborates with a panel of world‑class winemakers to create a one‑of‑a‑kind blend. The 2025 XXIX Anniversary Ale is built from a curated selection of barrel‑aged beers matured in premium bourbon, brandy, and whiskey casks, resulting in a layered, cellar‑worthy masterpiece.
