FW 24

Last night, Firestone Walker went on YouTube to discuss their 2020 anniversary blend and here are the tidbits that I learned….

  • The first barrel-aged beer that FW did was Ruby a TIPA / barleywine
  • The cardboard crown for the winning winemaker was referred to as the Stanley Cup of Paso Robles
  • The winning blend used the max amount of Merkin it could
  • Campfire and S’mores was the best beer descriptor that I heard
  • Out of left field pairing idea, spicy teriyaki and blue cheese

A Utopia for Me

I received a very unexpected present for my birthday this year. Utopias from Sam Adams. And not just any Utopias. This is one from the 2002 run of 3,000.

I really don’t know when/if I should open this but I do know that the temptation will be great.
