"Fiáin Honey Ale is a transatlantic celebration of shared values and beliefs commemorating a bond between two breweries marking 25 years at the forefront of our respective countries’ brewing scenes. First brewed in 1998, O’Hara’s Irish Red Ale was used as the main base beer for this creation. Once this famed red ale arrived at Firestone Walker’s Barrelworks wild beer facility, the beer was refermented in a French oak foeder with Brettanomyces. The beer, with its smooth malt body, notes of caramel and balanced bitterness, was transformed into something wild by this refermentation process. We imparted even more soul and character by finishing this beer with the addition of fresh thyme and a bottle conditioning with local, coastal Californian wildflower honey, produced just a stone’s throw from Barrelworks. Raise a glass to new traditions, collaboration, and all things fiáin, Sláinte!"
