Firestone Walker - What's your favorite beer?

FW is one of my favorite breweries and I really like all of their beers. The one that I buy the most though is Union Jack. It's the perfect "regular" beer.

 

Parabola!!

 

Have had Double Jack, DDBA, Parabola and just last night , Wookey. Wookey I was a bit underwhelmed. Parabola was quite good depeding on my mood. Double jack is just a perfect go to though.

Awaiting Velvet Merkin soon..

 

Haha, yep.

 

Parabajava and DDBA, but I could drink any one of their beers any day of the week.

 

Terrific brewery, for sure. Fresh Double Jack is great but 14 really blew me away at Capone's a couple years ago.

 

PNC is ridiculously good. And that comes from a Parabola and Sucaba lover. PNC is in another class.

 

Parabs for sure! Sucaba is amazing as well, but I've yet to have PNC or Velvet Merkin. Just the regular Merlin

 

If you haven't gone to the Barrelworks in Buellton, trust me, you want to go. There are some beers there that I get cravings for despite only having had them once (Lil Opal comes to mind). Union Jack has never disappointed, but Wookey Jack is easily in my top five faves.

 

Seeing as I've only had Double and Wookey Jack, I gotta go with the Double. I will be tasting Parabola this weekend, so I am excited!

 

Out of the harder to get brews from their reserve series id go with.....umm.....maybe Double DBA but Parabola and Sucaba are pretty damn close behind. Hoping to pick up a bottle of Velvet Merkin today after work, seems like it'll be a solid way to celebrate moving into my new place : )

As for their regular line up, I'd say Union Jack. Probably my favorite IPA, especially on tap

 

Good Foot is probably my favorite, but all of their BA Barleywine-esque beers, Bravo, Abacus, Stickey Monkey, DDBA, are fantastic!

 

Thus far I've only had Reserve Porter, Union Jack, Double Jack and Wookey Jack. Of those, Wookey Jack is definitely the best.

 

I guess my fave is the double jack. But single jack is good too when i don't want a as heavy of a brew. I haven't bought any of there really expensive beers though. Anniversaries and what not. They contract brew this stuff called nectar ales, it has a hummingbird on the box. The red ale or amber is really good. They also do an IPA for them, black xantus stout, and a hemp ale.

 

Year around favorite beer is Wookey Jack followed by all of their barrel aged seasonal reserve series. My beer fridge has Parabola, Double DBA, Velvet Merkin and Double DBA bottles stashed away in the back.

 

Parabola and Sucaba. I'm thinking a glass of Sucaba, and a slice of pumpkin pie sounds interesting.

 

I've only ever had Union Jack, DBA, and Velvet Merlin. I am ISO all their barrel aged beers...

 

Parabola. But I gotta respect a brewery that has multiple BBA barleywines. DDBA and Sucaba are awesome, and Stickee Monkee and Helldorado have good reputations.

 

I just started drinking their stuff, and I can't get past the Union Jack - I keep buying it. Awesome beer, and looking forward to trying more from FW.

 

Parabola is my favorite for sure, but for the stuff that is always available it would have to be Wookie Jack. Also they have plenty of limited stuff that is tap/brewery/barrelworks only that is really good including a lot of great wild stuff.
