Join us as we welcome over 60 brewery friends back to Paso Robles for the highly anticipated Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest in 2024. This renowned festival, born from the dream of creating a world-class event, is a celebration of the best brewers from around the globe. It’s a day to set aside the sales pitches, share incredible beers, and connect with passionate craft beer drinkers. It’s all about the brewers, their craft, great music, and a community that truly cares.
Supporting a Great Cause: Not only is this festival a haven for beer enthusiasts, but it also benefits the nonprofit Paso Robles Pioneer Day, a cherished community organization since 1931.
Kick-Off with a Pub Crawl
The festivities begin with a lively Pub Crawl, where each location will feature Firestone Walker tap takeovers. Expect special pours, rare library beers, and the exclusive Trailing West Pilsner, a collaboration with Half Acre. Each evening, you’ll have the chance to enter a raffle for two tickets to the sold-out 2024 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest. Local breweries and brewers will be there, ready to share their beers and stories.
