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 and 2024 its beer club’s membership sold out almost overnight…
That’s how good it is. That’s how exclusive its offerings are.
And on October 8, Firestone Walker opened enrollment for the 2025 edition of its Brewmaster’s Collective Beer Club. Enrollment will only remain open 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 2025 beer club include collaborations with some of the world’s most notable breweries, including Horus, Lervig, Green Cheek, Pinthouse, Revolution, Omnipollo and Frau Gruber.

“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. These are going to be some of the most inventive and creative beers we’ve ever produced.”
Membership to the 2025 Brewmaster’s Collective Beer Club beers is $399 plus tax and shipping (or $425 in installments), with the option of delivery or pickup at Firestone Walker’s locations in Paso Robles, Buellton, and Venice.
