    Union Jack might be the most well balanced IPA's across the states. They are really putting out some good beers.

    Yes, the Pivo Pils is phenomenal. One of the best I've tried brewed west of the Mississippi. I would recommend also the Porter, the Double Barrel, and the Union Jack. Obviously the big limited releases are all nice, but the beauty of Firestone is how excellent and consitent their regular offerings are.

    Parabole & Wookey Jack. I'd love to say Sucaba, but I've yet to have some

    I love Velvet Merlin, Solace, Double Jack and the Reserve Porter. Not big on the Pale 31, Union Jack or DBA. Those are the only 7 FW beers I've tried to date.

    The rest refuse to go out with me.

    EVERY SINGLE ONE.

    Great brewery with no bad beers in their line up. Might be my favorite brewery. FSW anniversary beers if they're around (Might be as I picked up FSW XIV and XVI just this week), DDBA, Wookey Jack, Parabola, Sucaba, etc...

    Everybody's mentioned all the high abv. and barrel aged beers, standard BeerAdvocate mentality.

    Grab yourself a pitcher of Pale 31 and enjoy it, one of the best Pale Ale's out there.

    Dunno what's available when, but Sucaba and Double DBA are both AMAZING English barleywines with 1-1.5 years on 'em...I'd say DBA, as it sounds amazing, but don't get it here yet in MO...the only FW beer I was underwhelmed by was the Porter, and their Double Jack was just 'good' IMO...

    I agree. We were there a few weeks ago (buellton). The Rufus w/Brett is amazing, the DDBA Barrell#66 (DDBA aged 4 years in white oak barrells) is phenomenal. Actually.....don't go there.....so there will be more for me.

    Agree completely. I've been to the tasting room. It's worth setting aside some quality time so that you can enjoy their library in an unrushed session. One of my top 5 breweries. They will pour you some things that will blow your socks off! And they are as low key as can be. Make the trip!

    If you like barley wine you'll love the Anniversary Ale and the Sucaba. Aside from that Double Jack is a superb DIPA.
