Firestone XX

website says coming october 16'

I doubt it will be dropped, but rather another new beer added, like Bravo.

 

At least similar bottle count as other years. Looking forward to the Boulevard/FW collab too. Similar to the 19th anniversary, blend of 4 beers only this is 2 Blvd & 2 FW beers, blended by Brewers not wine makers. Will be cool to notice the difference in themes.

 

@moonbrews
Too much hoppy stainless steel beers

 

Boulevard beers are always meh though...so because of that I don't expect much from that beer

 

How could you now be excited for that blend? I would bet the Firestone Walker 20th Anniversary blend is better, but this seems like it will age very well.

Boulevard/Firestone Walker Collab 6 Blend: 45% BBQ 35% Stickee Monkee 10% Tart Cherry Imperial Stout 10% Velvet Merkin

 

When I said dropped, I rather meant drop in stores - as in available to purchase.

 

Just 10%, I think it'll shine with the turbinado sugar. Already cherry on BBQ.

 

I just cracked open FW 14 & 15 these past 2 months..had 16 on SB Sunday..and still have 17,18,19 in the cellar..this will be the
perfect Birthday present

 

Need to crack some of my older ones here soon. Hoping for a great winery and blend for such a monumental milestone.

 

Could have polished it off in 10 min if i wanted to..smooth with minimal alcohol presence...was really impressed

 

On my list every year to grab for sure. Cheers

 

I still have a 13. May be time to pop that sucker

 

18 is my favorite by far.

 

From the Arizona Craft Beer Lovers Facebook Group:

 

But those add up to over 450 barrels.

 

Those were the total number of barrels that FW has available for the blend. The winemakers get the chance to come up with the blend based on those barrels available, knowing that they have to get to a total of 240-260 barrels (so, they can't just do 50% Parabola and 50% Helldorado, because that wouldn't make enough). So, we still don't know the actual blend, but it gives us an idea of what they had to work with.
