Firestone Beer Is Family Business

Firestone Beer
Is Family Business

Born in a humble shed on the back-forty of the family vineyard, Firestone Walker is a California beer company like no other — founded by two brothers-in-law who simply wanted to make the perfect beer.

Beer Before Glory

Our mission is to honor world-class beer culture, its traditions, and disciplines in our relentless pursuit of the perfect beer.

We Are
Firestone Walker
Brewing Company

Our aim is to create a home and culture that enables our Brewery family to thrive, develop, and define their future. A Brewery that honors world-class beer culture, traditions, and discipline.

Everything we do is ultimately driven by the belief that beautiful beer care- fully made is worthwhile, and the friendships we make along the way are the greatest rewards of this endeavor.

Sara Litten – Quality Manager

“The most amazing thing about working here is the love and pride each individual shows for the products that we produce.”

Joe Cappelluti – Warehouse Manager

“What I have grown to appreciate is Firestone Walker has grown to be a relatively large company while maintaining many interpersonal small company values.”

Marina Villa – Sous Chef

“I love working for Firestone Walker because not a day goes by where I feel I’m not learning and refining my skills. Plus, working with a talented and supportive kitchen team adds to the joy of coming to work each day.”

Attila Vertes – National Accounts Manager

“My job allows me to have a sense of ownership and tremendous pride in what I do and who I do it for…the craft beer drinker”

Lisa Rogalsky – Controller

“Besides the people, culture, benefits, and great beer, for me, it’s going to a grocery store or an event and seeing our beer and people enjoying it, knowing that I play a part in that.”

Ryan Hamill – Brewer/Cellar Operator

“I take a lot of pride in our finished project; we make world class beers and I love being part of that.”
