Firestone Walker Invitational 2025

As always, I’ll be trying to score a couple tickets, but so far I’ve gone 0 for 5 on the public sale. The one time I did get to go was when I won the Second Chance raffle as part of the Brewmaster’s Collective.

 

Wednesday’s for me. I’m off Tuesday thru Saturdays. Never been. Might try to score a ticket for this years. If not, no big deal. Good for Radiant Beer. Offset? Haven’t seen or heard of Offset in a long time. How are these guys doing these days?

 

I think Sante Adairius will be there. (even though they’re not on the list)

 

Bummed Balter isn't invited this year. Really enjoyed their stuff the past 2 fests, and their pils collab with Highland Park was my personal favorite brew there last year.

 

Not sure if you’re confusing us with someone else or not… We’ve only been open for a little over three years and we’re definitely the tiniest brewery on the list. We won a gold medal at GABF this year in session IPA and had one of our other 5% IPAs (we call em LiePAs) score an editors pick for top 20 beers of 2024 by Craft Beer and Brewing.

It’s honestly mind boggling for me to see my breweries name on this list. The opportunity to pour our beer next to so many of the breweries that were huge influences on how we think about, talk about, and make beer is going to be an insane experience. Still really can’t believe it honestly.

 

Radiant in Anaheim

 

Really like the list this year. Nice combination of oldies, newbies and some of the best breweries in my book.

 

Moksa, yeah buddy @Sixtel

 

I was wondering if you might have been referencing Offshoot (The Brueury’s label for IPA’s).

 

The guy you responded to brew for (owns?) Offset.

I think he's suspecting that you're mistaken about who they are

 

Yes owns and brews

 

Congrats on the success dude. Definitely on my list when I next make it out your way

 

Haven’t had any Offshoot beers since 2018/9? I thought they were hit or miss when they first opened. Then Radiant showed up. I prefer more of Radiants over Offshoot. Still pick up Radiants cans every now and then.

 

Where inside LAX? Not in T-7/8.

 

I walk by there almost everyday when I’m here at LAX. Never noticed it. Never fly out of the terminals except for T7/8. Plus I have the United Club pass, so food and beverage including alcohol is free. Our club has Lagunitas and Santa Monica Brew ipas on tap. It’s the only time I drink Lagunitas before our flight’s.
