Limited, specialty cult beers can be really exciting, but not when they only reach the hands of the privileged few.

One of those highly anticipated annual releases is once again upon us as Firestone Walker prepares to release their anniversary beer “13”. Firestone Walker 13 will be available for the first time starting at noon on November 14th at the brewery in Paso Robles, CA.
Their anniversary series beers, which are sought after from people around the country, are a unique blend of barrel aged beers to include barley wines, imperial stouts and an imperial brown ale just to name a few. “13” has been aged in a combination of bourbon, rye, and wine barrels, in which many of the components spent over two years in them, and then blended with the help of Paso Robles area wine makers.
Only 1,000 cases of this beer were made and it isn’t expected to last long. Bottles of “13” will be on sale at the brewery for $21.99 plus tax with a 12 bottle limit per person.
Besides the brewery release, the anniversary beer will make it to select accounts in limited quantities throughout California, Arizona, Washington and Oregon in late November.
