In a craft world dominated by hoppy beers, we went back to the basics with Firestone Lager, a premium beer with an iconic recipe.

IMPECCABLY BREWED, IMPOSSIBLY SMOOTH AND IMMENSELY DRINKABLE

According to Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, Firestone Lager is our hardest beer to make – and our easiest one to drink. Made in the classic all-malt Munich Helles style, Firestone Lager demands technical perfection from our brewing team, with a transparent canvas that would otherwise reveal the smallest flaw. Gambrinus pilsner malt establishes a crisp, dry base with a soft mouthfeel, while noble German hops provide just a whisper of bitterness.

Despite the complex brewing process, Matt Brynildson decided to pursue brewing a lager to join Firestone Walker’s line up. In 2001 when our brewing operations moved North from Buellton to Paso Robles and reformulated an earlier “cold lagered” beer to be a true lager. The result is an impossibly smooth and immensely drinkable beer that aims to help redefine American Lager.

FIRESTONE LAGER IS MADE FOR DRINKING, NOT THINKING. IT’S ABOUT ENJOYING A GOOD, CLEAN BEER.

— Matt Brynildson

TRULY A BEER FOR ANY OCCASION, AND FOR ALL BEER DRINKERS

Firestone Lager quickly gained recognition, winning the silver medal at Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in 2002 for Muchner-Style Helles. It then won bronze in the 2007 GABF for low ABV lager beers.

Firestone Lager is a “unicorn” in the craft beer industry — a broad-market beer that combines the uncomplicated, easy-drinking attributes of domestic lager with the quality and pedigree of a proven craft brewery. Hailed by USA Today, Esquire, Gear Patrol and others as a standard-bearer of the domestic craft lager movement.

Crisp and refreshing. A soft mouthfeel with bready malt notes and a whisper of German hop bitterness. Firestone Lager is now available in 12oz 6-pack bottles in all Firestone Walker distribution markets.
