Six Years of The Propagator with Sam Tierney of Firestone Walker Brewing Company

April 19, 2022

In this episode of Hoptalk, Gary chats with Sam Tierney, manager of Firestone Walker’s R&D brewhouse in Venice, CA.


We talk all about The Propagator as it approaches its six-year anniversary, how the space and the brewing program have evolved over that time, Sam’s recent run of all-star beer collaborations, what it’s like to visit other breweries as a brewer, and much more!


We also dig into Gen-6, Firestone Walker’s six-year anniversary Double IPA, a collaboration with El Segundo Brewing Company featuring new hop varieties Vista and 1019 alongside trusty Citra and Mosaic.


Cheers to six years of Firestone Walker’s The Propagator. Pick up Gen-6 at any of Firestone Walker’s locations or their online store and celebrate with them on April 30th at The Propagator in Venice.
