FIRESTONE WALKER INTRODUCES 2025 MIXED PACK

 Four Award-Winning Beers Rooted in West Coast Heritage and Innovation

Paso Robles, CA – Firestone Walker introduces the new 2025 Firestone Mixed Pack as a special selection of hop-forward beers that go to the heart of West Coast California beer culture. 

 

The 2025 Firestone Mixed Pack is a hand-picked lineup of award-winning, style-defining beers, all brewed with Firestone Walker’s signature dedication to craftsmanship and flavor. No weak links—just four beers that stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a box built for true hop heads. The Firestone Mixed Pack is now rolling out to all Firestone Walker markets. 

 

“This pack tells the evolving story of the West Coast style through our eyes,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It’s a celebration of where we started, what we’ve learned, and where we’re headed next as a California brewery.”

 

“The 2025 Firestone Mixed Pack is a reflection of who we are at our core,” said Hannah Barnett, Firestone Walker Brand Director. “It honors our legacy as a California craft brewery while showcasing the creativity and innovation that drive us forward. As we look ahead to our 30th anniversary year in 2026, we remain committed to the quality and character that have defined us since the beginning.”

Firestone IPA: West Coast IPA | 6.5% ABV

Firestone IPA is a future-forward beer born of West Coast roots and Firestone Walker flair. This is a beer that draws from the brewery’s nearly 20 years of experience with the ever-evolving West Coast IPA style. Various tricks learned from brewing Union Jack, Luponic Distortion and Hopnosis have been incorporated into a single beer that rings all of the bells of a modern West Coast IPA. Liberally dry-hopped with Mosaic and Strata hops, Firestone IPA is loaded with fresh passionfruit, pineapple and citrus flavors that keep you coming back for more. A Gold Medal winner at the 2024 European Beer Star Award and a Firestone Mixed Pack exclusive.

Luponic Distortion: Experimental IPA | 5.9% ABV

Luponic Distortion is the Firestone Walker trailblazer that continues to break the rules. The classic Luponic Distortion base recipe returns with an all-new hop blend to deliver a fresh blast from the past. Brewed with a secret blend of new-age hops, the 2025 edition of Luponic Distortion turns up the volume with mind-bending flavors of mango and peach. A Firestone Mixed Pack exclusive.

Union Jack: West Coast IPA | 7% ABV

Union Jack is the original Firestone West Coast IPA, brewed on the Central Coast since 2006. Union Jack is the IPA that helped blaze the trail for the revolutionary West Coast style. Named for the British Lion who co-founded the brewery, Union Jack is intensely hoppy yet eminently drinkable from start to finish. A fad-proof IPA for any hop head, and a Gold Medal winner at the 2025 World Beer Cup. 

Firestone XPA: Extra Pale Ale | 5% ABV

First introduced last year, Firestone XPA returns as a next-generation extra pale ale brewed with Southern Hemisphere hops and California style. “XPA is the number one craft beer style in Australia and it’s something we’re excited to champion it here in the U.S.," said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. "It’s everything you want in a hoppy pale ale at a crushable ABV. We fell in love with the style during our travels to hop farms across Australia and New Zealand and we were inspired to make our own.” Firestone XPA took home a Bronze at GABF in 2023 and after a successful run as a seasonal in 2024 it returns as a Firestone Mixed Pack exclusive.
