Gear Patrol

“I’ve had the extreme pleasure to be testing a Brewmaster’s Collective membership for over a year, and it’s been an absolute delight. The rarity of the beers I receive is truly impressive; I can honestly say I haven’t found a dud beer yet… If bucket-list beers and white whales are your thing (or that of a giftee), then you can’t go wrong with a Brewmaster’s Collective membership.”

“‘Being a first time recipient of the Brewmaster’s Collective, I can honestly tell you it’s worth every penny,’ says Beer Alien Co-Founder Raymond Melendez. ‘The quality of beer from Firestone Walker carries into these, sometimes, rare offerings. From Sours to Barrel Age, from classics to new experiments, the Brewmaster’s Collective beer spectrum is unbelievable. You will need a lot of time to enjoy the different styles of beers, so be prepared. Oh yeah, and they come with awesome gifts you can really use.’”

Porch Drinking

“While beer fanatics are likely familiar with classics like Firestone Walker’s Parabola, Sucaba and their yearly Anniversary blends, over the past three years, the Paso Robles-based brewery has quietly continued to breathe new life into their barrel-aging and small-batch release programs through the Brewmaster’s Collective membership program. Think of them as the Shohei Ohtani of brewing.”

“‘We pick beer styles and special spirit barrels that we would like to work with and create a dream list of collaborating brewers whom we would love to create barrel-aged beers with,’ Brynildson says. ‘We do our best to focus on beers that wouldn’t be possible on the large scale and work to create a one-of-a-kind experience.”

“Maybe they’re more of a beer-person. In which case, they should be immediately enrolled in Firestone Walker’s Brewmaster’s Collective for 2023. So they can have access to the California brewery’s rarest and most experimental ales and lagers from four seasonal collections comprising 25 beers. Along with members-only invites, on-site tastings and VIP taproom access, free brewery tours… and many other reasons to love you for thinking of them.”
