Lil Opal Batch #2 (2016)

Barrel Aged Saison | 5.9% | ⭐ 4.1

Lil Opal is the beer that launched our wild beer program when the barrels were stashed in out-of-the-way places and could be counted on two hands. The beer married oak and wild microflora, creating a beer that eventually gave birth to Barrelworks. Today the barrels number in the thousands, all of various origin and size, nurturing several different beers and wild microflora from our program. Lil Opal is a brett'd saison released in the spring to celebrate the vernal season. Aged over one year in French and American oak, Lil Opal's maturation time expresses the beer's oak signature, refines the spicy, fruity and earthy yeast notes, and refreshes the palate with a soft light acidity.

Sour Opal Batch #3 (2017)

Gueuze-style Sour | 5.9% | ⭐ 4.19

We’ve patiently waited for two years to offer you this exquisite ale! Sour Opal retraces its roots to the lambic cellars of the town of Brussels and the Senne River valley, in Belgium. This American “Gueuze” represents a spectrum of flavors from a traditional barrel aged sour ale, complete with aromas of aged cheese and a distinct earthy mustiness that can only be found in a well cellared barrel aged sour. The complexity and balanced flavors of Sour Opal can be attributed first to the crisp assertive tannic acidity of the Viognier barrels. Oak-derived flavors and aromas mingle with guava, passion fruit, pineapple and tart cherry notes. This beer rounds out with a crisp clean and quenching acidity as well as a mild grape fruitiness that is intensified by a higher carbonation level.

Feral One Batch #4 (2017)

Blended Wild Ale | 6.1% | ⭐ 4.09

We humbly offer you Feral One on the occasion of our Fourth anniversary. Feral One is an annual blend of our best efforts, from hand-selected well-aged barrels, chosen by the Masterblender and Barrelmeister. An earthy funky nose gives way to complex ester notes of dried apricots, strawberry, guava and slight orange zest. Toasted mature oak, lavender, vanilla and cinnamon lurk in the background. A mouth-watering acidity and soft tannins are punctuated by a firm carbonation. Savor now, or age longer for a special occasion.

Feral One, Batch Four is a blend of: 52.6% blend of Lil' Opal 2012, 2014 & 2015, 23.5% Wheaty Blonde, 16% Bretta Weisse, 3.9% Lil' Mikkel, 3.9% SLOambic.

Bretta Rose Batch #4 (2017)

Wild Ale with Raspberries | 5.3% | ⭐ 4.24

Thirty miles north of Barrelworks lies the fertile Santa Maria Valley. Its warm days and cool marine layer-fed evenings allow for a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to grow in its rich soil. One such offering is fresh locally grown raspberries, which we carefully select for Bretta Rosé. Bretta Weisse, fermented and matured in French oak barrels, serves as the foundation for this an abundance of fresh raspberries, allow a secondary wild fermentation and further maturation, and voilà! The result is a crisp effervescent concoction bursting with raspberry perfume and flavor, bracing acidity, underlying funk, and a clean refreshing finish. Santé!

Agrestic Batch #3 (2016)

American Wild Ale | 6.7% | ⭐ 4.11

Fittingly, Agrestic Ale begins its journey as DBA; the foundational beer first offered when Firestone Walker opened its doors in 1996. Oak barrels along with our proprietary collection of microflora act like a chrysalis process, transforming DBA into Agrestic Ale over the course of several months. The result is a synergistic blend of beer matured in French and American oak with signature flavors and aromas: wood-derived toast, lemon pith, and rosewood swirl on the nose and palate, followed by an amazing harmony of vanilla, coconut and Earl Grey tea. Dark cherries, caramel malt and spice round out its complexity and drinkability. The finish is crisp with a mouthwatering acidity and chewy tannins. A sante!

Barrel Ratio: 82% French oak & 18% American oak.
