Celebrating Sustainable Brewing with Firestone Walker’s Sunglider Golden Lager
Get ready to toast to sustainability with the latest release from Firestone Walker Brewing Company. Known for their dedication to crafting exceptional brews, Firestone Walker is bringing a fresh wave of excitement with their new Sunglider Golden Lager. Unveiled in March 2025 as part of the Brewing For Tomorrow initiative, this lager embodies the brewery’s commitment to environmentally conscious production timed perfectly for Earth Day celebrations.
This Helles-style lager is crafted using locally-grown Atlas barley, showcasing Firestone Walker’s embrace of local agriculture. “Brewing for Tomorrow is about being good stewards of our natural resources,” explains CEO Nick Firestone. With a focus on sustainable brewing practices—ranging from solar energy to water reuse—the brewery is setting a high standard in the craft beer community.
Leading the Charge in Sustainability
Firestone Walker’s Brewing For Tomorrow platform demonstrates a steadfast commitment to sustainability, evident through significant upgrades aimed at reducing its environmental impact. The newly installed CO₂ recovery system alone offsets over 4.4 million pounds of carbon emissions annually, while on-site solar energy now contributes more than 60% of the brewery’s energy demands.
Their water reuse project prevents over 500,000 gallons of water from going to waste each year, and more than 20 million pounds of spent grain are returned to the earth as cattle feed. This approach not only supports the local Paso Robles community but also showcases Firestone Walker as a leader in eco-friendly brewing efforts.
Experience the Local Flavor: Firestone Walker Sunglider Golden Lager
Brewmaster Matt Brynildson describes the Sunglider Golden Lager as a beer crafted for those who appreciate local flavor paired with sustainability. Its story begins in the barley fields of Paso Robles and culminates in an enticing sip of golden delight, perfect for warm days and sunset gatherings.
With an ABV of 5%, this Helles Lager offers a straw-colored appearance and an inviting aroma of biscuit and toffee. Its mouthfeel is light and refreshing, with tasting notes of biscuit and honey leading to a dry finish. This lager is one of those perfect, easy-drinking brews that simply must be experienced.
