Two Central Coast Originals, One Shared Spirit.
For decades, Firestone Walker Brewing Company and Cal Poly have been tied together through alumni, collaboration, and community. Now, that connection comes full circle with Cal Poly Gold, a beer that celebrates Mustang pride while investing in the next generation of local brewing and business talent.
A Community Connection
Firestone Walker has been a proud employer of dozens of Cal Poly alumni for more than 20 years, forging a lasting bond between the university and the brewery. From the brewhouse to the lab to the packaging line, Cal Poly graduates play a role in nearly every stage of Firestone Walker’s operations.
“Our brewery is loaded across all departments with homegrown Cal Poly talent,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It means a lot to us to maintain such a strong connection to the university and to help cultivate the next generation of graduates.”
Raise a Glass
Cal Poly Gold is more than just a crisp, refreshing golden ale. It’s a testament to what happens when two Central Coast originals come together with a shared spirit of excellence, innovation, and community. Raise a glass with us to the past, present, and future of Mustang pride.
