It’s been a few years now since Firestone Walker Brewing Company shook things up a bit, discontinuing their popular Double Jack IPA (along with a few other beers) and launching two different series of IPAs: Luponic Distortion and Leo v Ursus. I’ve tried each release from both of these series as they’ve arrived and I’ve … Continue reading
Back in Spring of 2016, Firestone Walker Brewing Company launched a new series of experimental IPAs under the name Luponic Distortion. Each one has been different. I’ve enjoyed some more than others, but each offering in the series is distinct and unique. Now, two years later, Firestone has reached a milestone. They’re releasing Luponic Distortion … Continue reading
Even before Firestone Walker Brewing Company retired their Proprietor’s Reserve Series of beers (which included their extremely popular Double Jack Imperial IPA), they started experimenting a bit more and coming out with some really unique and delicious IPAs. By the time Double Jack was gone in late 2016 we were already seeing the 3rd beer … Continue reading
Firestone Walker Brewing Company puts out some truly exceptional beers. Their Proprietor’s Vintage Series (which includes beers such as Bravo, Parabola, Stickee Monkee and more) can’t be beat and they make some excellent IPAs as well. Their Double Jack Imperial IPA used to be my favorite (determined through repeated blind tastings) but, in late 2016, they decided … Continue reading
Firestone Walker Brewing Company brews some of my favorite beers. I was dismayed a bit last October when they announced that they were discontinuing their Proprietor’s Reserve series, which included what was probably my favorite IPA of all time: Double Jack. However, I was thrilled earlier this year to learn that they’ll be putting their entire … Continue reading

As dismayed as I was by the news, the announcement actually follows a trend that seems to be taking … Continue reading
Back in May of this year, Firestone Walker Brewing Company launched a new series of IPAs known as the Luponic Distorion series. Luponic Distortion Revolution 001 flew under the radar a bit, but many more people learned what this series was all about when Revolution 002 arrived in July. Now, Firestone Walker is getting ready … Continue reading
The craft beer World has gone hop crazy. That’s a very good thing for the hopheads among us, as the variety and creativity in IPAs shows no signs of slowing down. Firestone Walker Brewing Company (who already makes one of my all time favorite (double) IPAs: Double Jack), is pushing the experimental boundaries of these delightfully hoppy … Continue reading
It took me a while, but I’ve come around to the can. I guess I had some bias to overcome. I grew up in the days when canned beer meant cheap, lousy, American light lagers in cans with pull-tabs that were littered everywhere and a real danger to anyone in bare feet. Even worse was … Continue reading
Back in late 2016, Firestone Walker Brewing Company announced, to the dismay of many craft beer fans, that they were discontinuing their Proprietor’s Reserve series of beers (which included their Opal Dry Hopped Saison, Double Jack IPA and Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA). Since that decision, however, Firestone has been busy cranking out new beers … Continue reading
