Firestone Walker - What's your favorite beer?

Union Jack - but i can never get it fresh in the northeast (either bottle or draft).

 

Parabola

 

Double Jack. It's a really good IPA. FW 13 was amazing and knocked me out. So good.

 

Double Jack when I can find it fresh, which is about never. Why all the old Jack sitting around, and this one doesn't age well.

 

FW15 for me. Yearly would be Sucaba, year round would probably be Double Jack.

 

I'll answer this question in one week, when some Parabola and Double Jack arrive at my door to have them for the first time.

 

Just going by the ones that I can actually walk in a store and buy, I'll go with Pale 31.

 

Probably Union Jack since it's easy to find and easily in my top 5 IPAs. My market only gets UJ, DJ, WJ, and Reserve as year rounds, I think we get Parabola, Sucaba, Anniversary series and Double DBA but seems like you have to chase trucks to get a bottle (also, I dont care much for barrel aged stuff).

 

Figured this page would be riddled with Merkin.

 

Hard to find any Firestone Walker in my area, unfortunately. I've only had the opportunity to try Union Jack and Walker's Reserve. Both of those were damn good.

 

I've had UJ, DJ, WJ, DBA, Unfiltered DBA, Velvet Merlin, Parabola, DDBA, 805, and some wheat I can't remember the name. Haven't had Sucaba yet, but based on comments here, I need to open up the one bottle I have.

Without a doubt the one that I crave, and would have in my kegorator at all times, would be Unfiltered DBA. Just something so delicious about it. Maybe it's the "hard to get" I can taste, but it surprised the heck out of me when I tried it at the brewery.

 

Wookey Jack.

 

I've been really happy with all of the beers I've had from FW. I'm partial to Parabola, but that's just personal style preference. I find myself drinking DBA as an "everyday" beer pretty often.

 

Wookey Jack and Double Jack cross the finish holding hands

 

I had XV a couple months ago and it was fantastic! Def one of my top 10 beers of 2013.

DJ's my fav year round as well. Just wish it was a little cheaper.

 

To quote Michael Bolton: "Um...all of 'em!?"

Hit the jackpot and got both Parabola and Sucaba at the same time at one of the bars I frequent. Love them both, but the edge went to Parabola. A few weeks later, at a new favorite bar, got me a 16th Anniversary. That was delicious! I've had Union Jack, Double Jack, Wooky Jack, all outstanding! So yeah, I'm a FW fan for sure.

Toss up between Sucaba and Pale 31. Pale 31 doesn't get the love it deserves IMO.

 

Sucaba (could drink this everyday if my liver let me)
DDBA (really enjoy this. My buddy bought a case and didn't like it, bonus for me!)
Helldorado (had on tap, wish they bottled it)
Double Jack (everyday drinker)

 

I have some hight expectations on both of them.
