As March progresses, American brewers are rolling out new seasonal beers that are perfect for springtime enjoyment. Among the latest releases, two breweries are offering unique brews with distinct flavors and a strong sense of community.
Firestone Walker Supports LA Wildfire Relief with ‘We Love LA’ California Pilsner
Firestone Walker, based in Paso Robles, California, has unveiled a new beer that goes beyond just a refreshing beverage. The “We Love LA” California Pilsner is a 5% ABV brew designed not only to offer a crisp, clean taste but also to support the ongoing wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. Fermented with German lager yeast and dry-hopped with Citra, Strata, and Lorien hops, the beer features a touch of malt sweetness and a refreshing finish.
The release is a collaboration with Common Space Brewery and will be available starting March 21 at Firestone Walker locations, including Venice Propagator, Buellton, and Paso Robles. This beer is part of a broader initiative involving over 180 breweries working together to fundraise for wildfire relief efforts. All proceeds from the beer will be donated to the United Way of Greater Los Angeles to assist those affected by the devastating fires.
Hannah Barnett, Brand Director for Firestone Walker, expressed her pride in the brewing community’s response to the disaster, stating, “This is what breweries do—we bring people together. Seeing so many breweries unite for a cause bigger than beer reminds us why this industry is so special.”
