Firestone Walker today announced the 2023 edition of its Brewmaster’s Collective beer club, introducing a variety of new benefits and small-batch exclusives including a throwback allocation of the brewery’s iconic Pale 31.
“Being a First Time Recipient of the Brewmaster’s Collective, I can honestly tell you it’s worth every penny,” says Beer Alien Co-Founder Raymond Melendez. “The quality of beer from Firestone Walker carries into these, sometimes, rare offerings. From Sours to Barrel Age, from classics to new experiments, the Brewmaster’s Collective beer spectrum is unbelievable. You will need a lot of time to enjoy the different styles of beers, so be prepared. Oh yeah, and they come with awesome gifts you can really use.”
Open enrollment in the 2023 Brewmaster’s Collective begins now at FirestoneBeer.com and ends on December 31, 2022 or until capacity is reached.
Now entering its third year, the Brewmaster’s Collective has become a fixture of creativity, collaboration and innovation at Firestone Walker, providing members with access to the brewery’s most artisanal small-batch creations.
“It took us 25 years to launch our first beer club, and now we can’t imagine life without it,” said 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.”
EXCLUSIVE BEERS & BENEFITS
In all, the 2023 Brewmaster’s Collective will span four seasonal collections totaling 25 beers, including 16 member exclusives as well as curated merchandise and pairings. Each collection will feature five barrel-aged beers, supplemented separately by Propagator small-batch beers on a quarterly basis.
