In the beginning there was bread, and there was beer. Bread kept us healthy, and beer brought us together.

— David Walker

In the words of David Walker, AKA The Lion, beer’s love language has always been its simplicity.

But when it comes to talking about beer? Well, there’s a reason why good, long conversations always start with taking a sip of a cold glass of beer. Conversations not unlike a recent one between David Walker and Matt Brynildson had about all things Firestone Walker Brewing Company in Born To Brew.

In Born to Brew, The Lion and The Brewmaster crack into a few of their favorite Firestone Walker beers in our barrel room while chatting all things beer, brewing, and creating a defining, modern American brewery.

Hear David and Matt’s enlightening discussion in full below now.

We just wanted to make some great beer. But we didn’t think we were going to be a part of defining modern American brewing.

— David Walker

While it’s always good to look ahead, sometimes, you have to take a moment to appreciate the achievements, successes, and golden moments of the past. One thing leads to another, and our thing led to a defining, modern American brewery. We still proudly brew the beer that David and Matt talk about and enjoy above.

Make sure you carve out a few minutes here and listen all about our timeline, creation, and vision in this exclusive, inspiring conversation between David Walker and Matt Brynildson.
