Winter’s waning, and American craft brewers are already looking to spring with a new roster of beers you’ll want to chase down.
Brewing For Tomorrow (Paso Robles, CA) – Firestone Walker Brewing has returned a terrific limited-batch spring seasonal release that represents the latest chapter in the brewery’s “Brewing for Tomorrow” sustainability initiative.
Crafted with California-grown floor malted barley, Firestone Sunglider is a crisp, floral and refreshing 5% ABV Helles-Style Lager that honors the brewery’s commitment to both flavor and sustainability.
This beer is all about staying local.
The harvested barley underwent traditional floor malting at Admiral Maltings, located in Alamada on San Francisco Bay. Sunglider also features Willamette hops grown at Goschie Farms in Silverton, Oregon, the first-ever U.S. hop farm to receive Salmon-Safe certification.
As Firestone Walker Brewmaster, Matt Brynildson deftly put it “Sunglider is a beer flavored beer, a modern nod to tradition, crafted with care and brewed with purpose. The closer you can source your raw materials, and the more you can support providers who do things the right way, the smaller the footprint of the resulting beer,”
Sunglider is rooted in Firestone Walker’s “Brewing for Tomorrow” initiative—an ongoing 360-degree effort to minimize the brewery’s carbon footprint and conserve natural resources, using both cutting-edge technologies and time-honored resourcefulness.
