(Paso Robles, CA) – In the video above, Firestone Walker Brewmaster, Matt Brynildson, talks Velvet Merlin.

Earlier this summer, the brewery hoped for a Velvet Merlin launch on September 1st but Brynildson mentions that it has been pushed back to October 1st.

The brewery has formally adopted a “new seasonal program” in which Velvet Merlin is positioned as the fall/winter seasonal and Solace as the spring/summer seasonal. According to Marketing Manager, Jamie Smith, these will be the only two seasonals.
