Firestone Walker 2021 Kentucky Mule







Firestone Walker 2021 Bourbon Barrel Aged Kentucky Mule...$8.99 / 12oz
Bourbon Barrel Aged blended ale with Ginger and Lime Peel
Our barrel-aged “Cocktail Series” continues with Kentucky Mule – our answer to the classic Moscow Mule cocktail, substituting Russia’s favorite spirit with Kentucky’s finest.

The journey of this beer began when we blended two equal lots of our signature Bravo brown ale and Helldorado blonde barley wine, both aged for 18 months in premium Kentucky bourbon barrels. We then infused this blend with hand-diced Fiji-grown ginger as well as fresh California lime zest and juice, perfectly accentuating the beer’s bourbon-inspired flavors of vanilla and maple syrup. The result is a true Moscow Mule-style sipping experience with a uniquely American twist.

We sat down with Barrel Program Manager Eric Ponce to learn more about the inspiration and creation of Kentucky Mule.





Firestone Walker 2021 Stickee Monkee Aged in Bourbon Barrels..$8.99 / 12oz
Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels
Brewed with Belgian candi sugar and aged in a selection of fine bourbon barrels, Stickee Monkee trailblazes its own category as a “Central Coast Quad.” The name Stickee Monkee is a nod to the Central Coast’s native Sticky Monkey flower, as well as a shout­‐out to the Belgian monks who pioneered the Quad style.
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE, AND THE SAME IS TRUE FOR BARREL-AGED BEERS.
Cut from a similar recipe, this barrel-aged Quad evolves and shows a different face each year; a result of time spent aging in the barrel. Belgian candi sugar adds wonderful molasses flavors that are reminiscent of Belgian candi sugar. It has a full body and lush texture with barrel expression all over; toasted oak, coconut, leather and rich cigar tobacco.
