From CraftBeer:
It's safe to say the crew at Firestone Walker Brewing Co. knows how to celebrate an anniversary. Fifteen years is quite an accomplishment and the beer they created to celebrate this milestone is a worthy tribute. Firestone Walker XV Anniversary Ale is actually a blend of eight different beers. The brewery recruited the help of local Paso Robles winemakers, who participated in several blending sessions, to come up with the final combination.
Here's a breakdown of the final beer, which will available for the first time at the Firestone Walker 15th Anniversary party on Saturday, November 5.
