Fireman’s Brew sells like hotcakes

By Noah Davis • Mar 23rd, 2009 • Category: Beer News

If we were fighting a California wildfire, we would be a) terrified b) essentially useless c) in need of a new pair of pants, and d) not thinking about beer. But then again, we’re not Rob Nowaczyk.

Nowaczyk, an active duty Los Angeles County Firefighter, is also the founder and creator of Fireman’s Brew, a line of premium beers he conceived while battling a brushfire high above the Glendale Mountains. The beer comes in three different varieties.

  • Fireman’s Brew Blonde: This smooth, golden beer is made with real Saaz hops to create a truly fine Pilsner style lager — with a crisp and refreshing taste. (5.0% Alc./Vol.)
  • Fireman’s Brew Redhead: A smooth, rich, amber ale combining five different styles of malt and several different Yakima Valley hops to deliver a flavorful red ale with a rich caramel flavor. (5.5% Alc./Vol.)
  • Fireman’s Brew Brewnette: This smooth, traditionally-styled, rich dark southern German dobblebock is made with Perle and Hallertau hops and a combination of eight varieties of malt — to create a strong yet easy to drink beer. (10.8% Alc./Vol.)It should not be used as a fire extinguisher, however.
