Firestone Walker DBA (Double Barrel Ale)
A British Pale Ale never tasted so fresh. We challenge our good friends across the pond to match this one. Can’t be done. We’ve honored the traditions of the great British Pale brewers of Burton-on-Trent using our patented Firestone Union oak barrels. You’re left with a mild blend of vanilla and toasted oak flavor touched with an elegant hint of English noble hops. DBA is the flagship of our company and wildly popular.

Firestone Walker Brewing Co.
Out of the vineyards of California’s Central Coast, the Firestone Walker Brewing Company has grown to become an authentic regional craft brewery.

Drinkin’ and Drivin’
Let me just start off this article with a disclaimer. This article does not endorse the act of operating a motor vehicle after the ingestion of quantities of alcohol. Actually, this article goes in the opposite direction. We drank and they drove. Ah, welcome to the rolling hills of southern Virginia. It was predicted to be a crisp weekend for our annual race weekend camping (motor-homing) trip to Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, VA. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) was rolling into town to put on two races for those coming from around the region and some from across the country. There would be a truck race…

Piedmont Brewers Cup
Some final preparations for the upcoming Piedmont Brewers Cup took place on Tuesday, Oct 18th. The competition coordinatior, John Federal, led a group of about eight others in the collection, check-in, seperation and sorting of the multitude of entries to this years competition. Entries came from across North Carolina and the surrounding states, some from even further away. The entries had to adhere to some standards of competition (bottle size, cap markings, bottle shape), but not all would make the cut. The reason for this is simple.
