PASO ROBLES, CA – From the wilds of Firestone Walker Brewing Company comes Wookey Jack, a new release that Brewmaster Matt Brynildson calls “gnarly on the outside, yet refined on the inside.”

Starting today, Wookey Jack is available in 22-ounce bottles in select markets across the U.S. The suggested retail price is $5.99. Wookey Jack is also now available in draft.

Classified as a “Black Rye IPA” by the Firestone Walker brewing team, Wookey Jack is a riff on the familiar Black IPA style. MaltedRyeand a dash of Cara Rye impart a spicy grain quality to the palate. Wookey Jack is double dry hopped with Citra andAmarillohops, which bring a citrusy dimension to the aroma profile. The brewing team claims to have incorporated a bit of “Wookey Dust” as well. Wookey Jack is unfined and unfiltered to retain its woolly natural texture and character.

According to Brynildson, the vision behind Wookey Jack was to push the Black IPA style in a fresh direction. “We wanted it to be intensely flavored and hoppy, but also balanced and complex,” he said. “The rye malt makes it interesting, bringing everything together with a rustic edge.”

He added, “Wookey Jack is black in color, but if you close your eyes and taste it, you’ll say it’s a true IPA. The roasted character is about as light as you can get in a beer this dark.”

The origins of the name Wookey Jack are uncertain. Some say that it’s related to Brynildson’s favorite band, Phish. Co-proprietor and British expatriate David Walker suggests a connection to Wookey Hole, an English village noted for its dark caves and resident witch.

“Wherever the name came from, it fits,” Brynildson said. “This is a beer that tastes like its name.”

Parabola and Solace Return This Spring

The spring season brings other beer releases from Firestone Walker Brewing Company—notably the limited-release Parabola, which returns in mid May in 22-ounce bottles; and Solace, a spring-summer seasonal beer available across the brewery’s distribution markets starting now.

Parabola is a barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout that starts out “as thick as a cookie,” requiring the brewers to manually stir the two-ton mash. The Parabola recipe is unchanged from previous years. However, the 2012 release will still reveal its own distinct nuances compared to earlier releases. Brynildson notes that Parabola is typically composed of five to six batches aged in a variety of spirits barrels. No two batches or barrels are exactly alike, resulting in subtle differences as the final blend is assembled from year to year. Retail production of the 2012 vintage is limited to 3,500 cases of 22-ounce bottles, as well as very limited draft.

Solace remains a “fusion wheat beer,” merging the qualities of a Belgian pale ale with a Bavarian hefeweizen to create a craftily unfiltered ale for those lazy warm summer days ahead. This time around, however, the ABV has been lowered to 4.8 percent, down from the 6 percent of earlier releases. “It’s a small change, but something that we feel refines Solace and enhances its drinkability,” Brynildson said.

Paso Robles, CA—Is it truly a farewell to Wookey Jack, Double Jack and Opal as Firestone Walker Brewing Company steels itself to stop brewing these beloved beers?

The answer is complicated, but yes, Firestone Walker’s Proprietor’s Reserve line is winding down, and the three beers referenced above will accordingly dwindle from distribution by the end of the year.

“It’s a bittersweet occasion,” said David Walker. “Each of these beers was forward-thinking and representative of some of our best brewing efforts, but they are now stepping aside to make room for the next generation.”

Added Adam Firestone, “This was a hard decision made for the sake of innovation. These beers were born of that ideal, and now they are yielding to it.”

Wookey Jack (Black Rye IPA), Double Jack (Imperial IPA) and Opal (Dry-Hopped Saison) have collectively represented the Proprietor’s Reserve tier for several years. This tier was dedicated to smaller-batch standout beers, and as such was aligned between Firestone Walker’s widespread Lion & Bear offerings and the limited Vintage Reserve tier of barrel-aged beers.

“The suspension of the Proprietor’s Reserve tier will create a void that the brewers here are extremely excited to fill,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It opens up a brand new canvas. That’s all I can say for now on that.”

He added, “Wookey isn’t dead yet, and neither are the others. They may make curtain calls as special limited releases, or get reimagined into something more fantastical, or both. Our Propagator pilot brewhouse in Venice should be on line soon, and it will not only provide a platform for new R&D beers, but also for bringing back small batches of these Proprietor’s Reserve beers periodically for on-premise enjoyment.”
