Globally renowned brewmasters Matt Brynildson and Firestone Walker recently announced their 2025 Brewmaster Collective Beer Club. It’s an exclusive member-only club for beer aficionados. Members will receive a collection of small-batch artisanal barrel-aged beers and four hyper-limited rare and limited-edition beers crafted at Firestone Walker’s R&D brewery in Venice, California.
“The Brewmaster’s Collective shares our most prized beers with our most passionate drinkers,” Brynildson said. “With the 2025 edition, the club is rounding into form with mind blowing collaborations and deep explorations into the art of barrel aging that will excite our most avid beer aficionados.”
Now entering its fifth year, the Brewmaster’s Collective has become a fixture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation at Firestone Walker, providing members with access to the brewery’s most artisanal small-batch creations.
