While the Paso Robles area is justifiably famous for its vineyards, wineries, and wine, one of America's most popular microbreweries resides here. Firestone Walker, makers of the Double Barrel Ale (DBA) has a decent sized operation south of town.
They also have a restaurant to the south in Buellton, but we're just here to taste the beers.
Watch the Video!
Here at the brewery, they have a nice tasting room with 14 taps (just installed the day before we were here). For $6 you can taste 4 of their brews.
We taste the DBA, Solace...a wheat beer, a hefeweizen, a porter, a honey blonde, and IPA, and a red ale. While we enjoyed the DBA, Solace, and the honey blonde, the rest were average to a bit heavy for us.
So we're kind of indifferent to Firestone Walker. The beers in Denver were much better as was Sierra Nevada up north in Chico, which also serves a vast variety of tastes at no charge...but wait...what's that across the street?
Watch the video above as we find a very nice ringer, right across the street from the FW premises.
Cheers!
