Firestone Walker - What's your favorite beer?

parabola and sucaba are the best

 

Gotta be Pivo, though SLOambic has been amazing at times, and UDBA holds a special place in my heart, and straight tequila barrel PNC is something else. Tough question, man.

 

I have to go with my staple, Double Jack. I just finished off a growler of it last night. I've yet to try Wookey Jack, but I'll remedy that this weekend.

 

I've had DBA, Union Jack, Double Jack, Sucaba, Parabola and 17th Anniversary but, for me, it's Wookey Jack hands down. Best Black IPA out there IMO.

 

Wookey Jack. Best American Black Ale. Period.

 

Did that come with your flux capacitor?

 

If I have to pick a favorite then I pick Parabola.
Firestone's line up is great from top to bottom. I think their Porter is great. I really like Velvet Merlin although we don't get in NJ.
I have had a problem finding any of the Jack's reasonably fresh in NJ lately so I haven't been buying them.

 

Stickee Monkee & Parabajava. Along with Oaked, unflitered, Nitro DBA.

But I agree they have so many great offerings. From Parabola, Abacus, the anniversary blends, to velvet merlin, Pivo Pills, etc.

 

Haha, ya know as I was typing that I thought to myself "are you sure it's 17th and not 16th?" But I just went with it since I'm on my phone and am too lazy to research. Thanks for humorously correcting me.

 

My favorite is their 805:


Followed by Parabola and DBA.

Cheers!

 

Double Jack and Sucaba.

 

Double Jack.

I haven't had Sucaba or Wooley Jack (got a bottle in my fridge) yet..

 

Parabola followed by Double Jack. Both world class beers. Wookey Jack is great for the style.

 

Parabola, Double DBA, Porter.

 

Just visited their brewery last week. Had an experimental Saison on tap that was phenomenal! DBA is my regular fave as is Pale 31. SUCABA and PARABOLA are both outstanding IMO.

 

Pale 31 is up there with Zombie Dust IMO. HIGHLY underrated Pale Ale.

 

Can you really go wrong with ANYTHING Firestone Walker?

But if I had to pick a favorite it'd be Double Jack, as long as it's fresh or pretty close to it. Parabola is a close second. I just pray to the beer gods that some day I'll get to try Helldorado, Sticky Monkey, Good Foot, Bravo Brown, or Velvet Merkin!

 

One time release- FW13. Liquid gold. That should be sought out before it becomes over the hill. Honorable mention to FW15.

Limited- It's tough for just about any beer to beat Parabs or Sucaba with a year on it. It requires something really special to beat those out. I'm looking forward to the release of Velvet Merkin later this year.

Seasonal & yearly- Solace, Pivo Pils, Pale 31, and fresh Union and Double Jack all stand out. I'm personally a big fan of DBA also.

Guess if I had to choose one, Parabola (not counting FW13)
