Cold storage

Fermentation is where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and co2, the most crucial step in creating beer. This stage is closely monitored, ensuring that each beer’s unique characteristics develop fully. Depending on the beer style, this step can take several days to weeks. All fw beers will use one of three yeast strains, our house ale, lager or hazy yeast. All Firestone Walker beers go through our centrifuge to eliminate any large particulate (hops, yeast or protein). Then all the beers are carbonated on the way to the bright tank. If the beer is clear, it will also be run through the Polish filter. At the end of filtration, the beer will be ready to go into package and is ready to drink. Related Beers
