Firestone Hopnosis IPA

For those looking for something different from the traditional Irish stout, check out Hopnosis, an innovative IPA brewed with coveted Cryo Hops® pellets in the traditional Irish green can. Firestone double dry-hops this beer with varieties from the U.S. and New Zealand, creating an explosion of tropical fruit flavors including mango, passionfruit, white grape, and lychee.



Parabolita

To create this first-ever canned Vintage beer, Firestone aged a selection of Parabola for one year in premium bourbon barrels, then blended it with a complement of Velvet Merlin milk stout to create a silky mouthfeel and a more approachable ABV of 9.2-percent. They also infused the beer with Madagascar vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, and sea salt to achieve a full Salted Caramel-style drinking experience.
