Was it the best one yet? Many say it was. The annual Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest returned on June 1, and it was nothing short of epic, featuring 68 brewers from around the world, more than 20 local restaurants, educational beer panels, and a concert by The White Buffalo. Even the weather—with temps in the low 80s—was perfect.

Firestone Walker’s bestselling IPA family rolls out a fresh, new look and all-new beers.

In the words of brewmaster Matt Brynildson, “The focus of the 2024 season is diving deeper than ever into our mastery of barrel-aged beers that push the envelope of aroma and flavor.”

IPAs have become similar to the Marvel Universe: a blockbuster franchise with one creative spinoff after another. West Coast, New England, hazy, session, black, brut, cold … The IPA hits keep coming.

Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson loves all of his beer children. But he seems to love one more than most: Pivo Pils.

“It took us 25 years to launch our first beer club, and now we can’t imagine life without it,” says Firestone Walker brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It is not only enabling us to create some really interesting beers—it’s also fostering a deeper personal connection with our most passionate fans.”

After 25 years, the California brewery’s sights remain fixed on the future.

Founded by two brothers-in-law who simply wanted to make the perfect beer, Firestone Walker is celebrating its 25th anniversary... “Yet in so many ways,” says cofounder David Walker, “we’re just getting started.”
