The 2025 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival will feature more than 300 highly curated beers; fresh bites from more than 20 award-winning restaurants; “Behind the Beer” brewer panel sessions moderated by the Brewing Network; and live music performances.

As with other years, Firestone Walker will collaborate with another festival brewer on a unique, one of a kind beer. For the 2025 festival it’ll be Wandering Don IPA brewed in collaboration with Odell Brewing Company from Ft. Collins, Colorado. This IPA will be brewed with an artful blend of old and new school hops to create a singular take on the West Coast IPA style. Firestone Walker will also host a weekend celebration with a Brewery Block Party on Friday before the fest featuring live music, special brews and barbecue, followed by a “Brews & Brekky” Brunch at the brewery on Sunday.

Since its inaugural event in 2012, the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival has become renowned as one of the world’s most esteemed beer festivals. Proceeds from the fest continue to benefit Paso Robles Pioneer Day, a beloved local nonprofit, as well as other local nonprofits such as the Central Coast Honor Flight, Estrella Warbird Museum and youth sports leagues. 

“Paso Robles Pioneer Day Committee is very appreciative of the ongoing partnership with Firestone Walker,” said Sarah Kramer, Chairperson of the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival committee. “Our partnership makes sense as the pioneers of Paso Robles and Firestone Walker both have roots as farmers and ranchers. This partnership has allowed us to continue the now 95-year-old tradition of providing a day of community, friendship and commemoration of the heritage of the Paso Robles area.”

Added Nick Firestone, “This is the 12th edition of the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival, and it just keeps getting better. It continues to be an impactful community event, and we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends to stage a celebration of beer culture like no other.”
