Firestone Walker is one of California’s best-known craft breweries and its flagship location on the outskirts of Paso Robles is an essential pilgrimage whether you care about the flavor notes in your IPA or not. With three different factory tours, a brewhouse, a barrel room, an entire visitors center, and a full restaurant/bar, Firestone Walker is really more of a town than a brewery. You could easily spend the entire afternoon here, and you should.
