About This Beer
The jazz age seems like it was a pretty happening time. Everyone dressed extravagantly and sat around sipping gin cocktails while Duke Ellington played in the background. So it makes sense that the craft legends at Firestone Walker would want to harken back to the sophistication of the roaring twenties with Daisy’s Favorite — a nod to the iconic Great Gatsby character.
To make it, the crew took their Helldorado Blonde Barleywine (one of the top 30 American Barleywines in the world according to BeerAdvocate) and aged it for 14 months in freshly emptied American oak Gin Barrels.
Tasting Notes
A rich malty sweetness swirls through every sip while gorgeous botanical nuances dance on your palate like a flapper doing the Charleston. Subtle hints of woodspice, toasted sugar, and vanilla peek through on the finish, helping mask the boozy 12.7% ABV.
