It is ON!
We’ve called Firestone Walker’s Brewmaster’s Collective the “Tesla of Beer Clubs,” and it continues to impress.
In 2021 Firestone Walker introduced the Brewmaster’s Collective, a beer club that connects the brewery’s most interesting brews with its most passionate followers. And it was one of the best beer clubs we’d ever seen.
In 2022, the Brewmaster’s Collective expanded the club its reach to beer lovers in Kentucky, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia, plus Washington DC.
In 2023 its beer club’s membership sold out almost overnight…
That’s how good it is.
That’s how exclusive its offerings are.

And today, Firestone Walker has opened enrollment for the 2024 edition of its Brewmaster’s Collective beer club, encompassing a Welcome Kit and 21 small-batch barrel-aged beers as well as numerous exclusive membership benefits.
Open enrollment in the 2024 Brewmaster’s Collective is open now and runs until capacity is reached, but we do suggest that if you want to be part of the club you act quick, because, if past is prologue, this thing will fill fast.
Highlights of the 2024 beer club include limited collaboration beers made with Greeley, Colorado’s WeldWerks, Chicago’s Revolution Brewing, Germany’s FrauGruber, and Sweden’s brilliant Omnipollo brewery.
“The focus of the 2024 season is diving deeper than ever into our mastery of barrel-aged beers that push the envelope of aroma and flavor,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “The club has become a powerful point of connection with our most passionate fans. Bottom line, if you’re into barrel-aged beers, you’re going to love what we have in store for you.”

The annual prepaid membership cost is just $399 plus tax and shipping (or $425 in installments) with optional pickup available at Firestone Walker’s locations in Paso Robles, Buellton and Venice.
