Firestone Walker Adding Gin Rickey Bottles

This morning I have your first peek at a new bottle coming in 2020 from Firestone Walker Brewing in Paso Robles, CA. This is Gin Rickey and it will be a Gin barrel-aged ale with lime peel and spices. This cocktail-inspired beer will roll in at 11./3%-AbV and 17 IBU and you’re looking at the 12oz bottle (300 cases produced). Stay tuned for release info on this 2020 Vintage.

This 25 Sep 2020 update from Firestone Walker:

COCKTAIL-INSPIRED BEER: MEET GIN RICKEY
Behold! Gin Rickey, the latest release from our Vintage series, a blonde barley wine matured in gin barrels for 18 months with additions of freshly zested lime peel, mace, coriander and juniper berries.
This is highly carbonated to mimic the original Gin Rickey cocktail, which was hugely popular during prohibition. Cocktail-inspired beers have taken our tastebuds by storm at the brewery. We draw inspiration from all directions and are thrilled to be able to present you with Gin Rickey.
This barrel-aged release is only available for a limited time. Shop for Gin Rickey at our campus locations starting Thursday, Oct. 1. Pre-order Gin Rickey for direct shipping (CA-only) online through our webstore. 11.3% ABV

We took some time to sit down with Eric Ponce, our Barrel Program Manager, to understand the inspiration and process behind his newest cocktail-inspired beer. Read more in our latest blog post.
