Celebrated brewmasters Matt Brynildson and Firestone Walker have revealed their 2025 Brewmaster Collective Beer Club, an exclusive club tailored for avid beer lovers. Enrollees will receive a selection of small-batch, artisanal barrel-aged brews along with four distinctive rare and limited-edition creations from Firestone Walker’s R&D brewery situated in Venice, California.
“The Brewmaster’s Collective allows us to share our most cherished beers with our most enthusiastic drinkers,” stated Brynildson. “With the 2025 edition, the club is taking shape through groundbreaking collaborations and in-depth explorations of barrel aging, creating excitement among our most dedicated beer enthusiasts.”
Now in its fifth year, the Brewmaster’s Collective has established itself as a beacon of creativity, collaboration, and innovation at Firestone Walker, offering members access to the brewery’s premium small-batch offerings.
Noteworthy highlights for the 2025 beer club include partnerships with several of the industry’s top breweries, such as Horus, Lervig, Green Cheek, Pinthouse, Revolution, Omnipollo, and Frau Gruber.
Kicking off in January 2025, new members will receive a welcome kit that includes the member-selected Collective Choice Batch #4 Stout, along with branded merchandise and a membership card.
Then, in mid-February 2025, participants will be introduced to The Verse Collection, which features a bottle of Parabola, an Imperial Stout matured in Bourbon barrels; Ancho & Fig Parabola, an Imperial Stout infused with Ancho chili and fig; Damien Barleywine, an English Barleywine aged in Bourbon barrels; and a collaboration Stout with Green Cheek & Pinthouse that includes torched marshmallow, banana, and peanut butter. Additionally, members will receive a Saison with Pear and a four-pack of 16-ounce cans of Propagator.
In early May 2025, The Chorus Collection will feature Velvet Noir, a Stout enriched with vanilla, cocoa nibs, and almonds. This collection also includes Uber Omni Gruber, a Super Triple Collaboration with Omnipollo and Frau Gruber, along with a bottle of Lucifer Golden Strong, a Tripel Ale aged in Chardonnay barrels. Additionally, there will be a Paso Parabola Imperial Stout aged in French Oak red wine barrels, and Primal Elements, a fruited Sour Ale matured in oak barrels. Members will again receive a four-pack of Propagator 16-ounce cans.
Later in summer, in July 2025, The Bridge Collection will be unveiled, which features Lumber Thunder, a small-batch Imperial Brown Ale aged in Bourbon barrels, and Midnight Melange, a Bourbon barrel-aged wee heavy. Also included is Revolution of Ruby, a dry-hopped American Barleywine created in collaboration with Revolution, a bottle of Paraboloid, an Imperial Stout aged in select Bourbon barrels, and a bottle of Primal Elements, a delightful fruited sour ale matured in oak. Members will also receive another four-pack of 16-ounce cans of Propagator.
In late October 2025, The Hook 29th Anniversary Collection will be showcased in the fall. Members can expect to receive Grainshift, a blended barrel-aged ale crafted from a wheated Stout aged in soft red wheat Bourbon barrels, plus a Horus Collab, a Crystal Ale aged in Rye Whiskey barrels. There will also be a bottle of Lervig Collab, a Stout aged in Pikesville Rye Whiskey barrels, and Coolship Wild Ale, a spontaneously fermented Wild Ale.
