This morning brings a standout addition to the 2026 Brewmaster’s Collective from Firestone Walker Brewing Company in Paso Robles, California. The brewery is preparing to release Have A Cigar, a complex and barrel‑forward imperial stout crafted for fans of bold, layered, high‑gravity stouts.

Have A Cigar is built on a rich imperial stout base and aged in a blend of Bourbon barrels and Chocolate Rye barrels, creating deep notes of oak, spice, and dark chocolate. To elevate the profile even further, Firestone Walker finished the beer on Amburana staves, a Brazilian hardwood known for its warm, cinnamon‑like aromatics, and added Madagascar vanilla beans for a smooth, dessert‑leaning finish.

Inspired by Pink Floyd, this themed release “rocks in” at a hefty 12.1% ABV, making it one of the more decadent offerings in the 2026 membership lineup. The beer will be packaged in 12‑oz bottles, consistent with the premium packaging of the Brewmaster’s Collective series.

Fans of Firestone Walker’s barrel‑aged program,and members of the Brewmaster’s Collective exclusives, will want to keep an eye out for full 2026 club release details as Have A Cigar moves closer to its official debut.
