Beer of the Week: Firestone Walker 19 Anniversary Ale

Quick Facts on Firestone Walker 19 Anniversary Ale Brewery: Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Paso Robles, California Description: Each year, Firestone Walker pairs up with a local winemaker to make its Anniversary Ale. According to the brewery’s website, this year’s final product is rich and chocolaty with “brandy-soaked raisin and holiday fruitcake flavors.” It’s best enjoyed out of a brandy snifter or wine glass.  (WTOP/Brennan Haselton)
