Firestone Dba

A California beer company. Highest quality. Smooth. Rich. Bold. Double Barrel Ale: The beer that started it all for Firestone Walker back in 1996 and a true California classic-smooth and rich with caramel malt flavors. Double Barrel Ale was the first beer ever brewed by Adam Firestone and David Walker and it still stands the test of time. We ferment a portion of the beer in barrels to layer in flavors of caramel and toasted oak. The result is an iconic California craft beer and enduring tribute to traditional cask-fermented English pale ales. - Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. Brewing for Tomorrow: California's Central Coast has been our home for a few generations - we have an affection for this place and feel an obligation to treat it as well as we possibly can. This means being relentlessly resourceful to conserve water, energy and materials. We believe that our pursuit of the perfect beer must be underscored by a passion for minimizing our environmental impacts. We are brewing for tomorrow. Conserving Water: 40 million gallons of brewing process water are treated annually on site and returned to the local aquifer, and 500,000 gallons are recycled through our custom water reuse system. Clean Energy: 3,000 metric tons of carbon emission are offset annually by our 9.7-acre solar array, and 20% of the brewhouse's energy use is generated by kettle steam recovery. Eliminating Waste: 90% of our brewing grains are delivered in bulk to eliminate packaging waste, and 18 million pounds of spent grains are recovered annually and fed to local livestock.
