A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s sure to be a wild party this weekend when\u00a0Firestone Walker\u2019s Wild Ale Facility<\/a> in Buellton marks its fifth anniversary with a <\/span> \u201cFeral One<\/a>\u201d release party on Saturday, March 3<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Time flies when you\u2019re behaving wildly. “<\/span>It seems like just yesterday that we made this big bet on what had long been a pet project,\u201d says Jeffers Richardson<\/a>, director of Barrelworks. \u201cIn the five years since opening Barrelworks, we\u2019ve really grown into our home and taken our wild ale machinations to an entirely new level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he five year\u00a0<\/span>milestone is being marked by a party that features the release of Feral One Batch #5. Feral One Batch #1 was Barrelworks\u2019 inaugural bottled beer release. They describe Batch\u00a0<\/span>#5 as “an unruly blend of six vintage base beers that were reclaimed from the barrel stacks and artfully combined to create a mouthwatering marvel.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Barrelworks was established in 2013 after Firestone Walker\u2019s wild ale program outgrew the main brewery in Paso Robles. It has since become known as a \u201ccathedral of barrels\u201d that produces an acclaimed variety of sour beers and hybrid ales under the watchful eyes of Richardson and Master Blender Jim Crooks<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The festivities take place from noon to 3 p.m. on <\/span>Saturday, March 3 at\u00a0<\/span>Firestone Walker Barrelworks (620 McMurray Rd., Buellton).\u00a0<\/span>Tickets include pre-purchased bottles of Feral One Batch #5; a \u201cpig plate\u201d to build your own tacos or sliders (pig roasted on site); live music by The Ragged Jubilee; tastings of rare wild ales and barrel-aged beers; plus light bites while supplies last and a one-time 25% savings card good for merchandise and beer purchases (with exception of Feral One) that day.<\/span><\/p>\n
