Known for Blonde Ale · Pale Lager

805 is the beer brand of Firestone Walker Brewing Company, named after the telephone area code of California's Central Coast. Its blonde ale has been brewed under its own brand at the Firestone Walker main brewery in Paso Robles since 2012 and is sold across the western United States. The family now also includes 805 Cerveza, a lager brewed with lime, and the non-alcoholic 8ZERO5 released in 2024. The brand runs its own website and presents itself through surfing, skating and music rather than through the parent brewery.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
