About Stone Brewing
Stone Brewing was founded in 1996 in San Diego County, California, beginning in a small warehouse in North County. The company, now headquartered in Escondido, California, grew from a local operation into a nationwide brand with production breweries on both coasts. The brewery operates a 55,000-square-foot facility in Escondido equipped with two 120-barrel Rolec brew systems, supplemented by a 65,000-square-foot packaging hall added in 2013 for canning and bottling. A second, 200,000-square-foot plant in Richmond, Virginia, opened in 2016 and runs a 250-barrel Krones brew system to serve the Eastern U.S. A 10-barrel system at the Liberty Station location supports experimental and small-batch beers. Stone’s beers — ranging from flagship IPAs such as Stone IPA and Arrogant Bastard Ale to lagers, hazy IPAs, and seasonal releases — are distributed across all 50 states and internationally. The company also runs several hospitality venues, including the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido and Liberty Station, plus tap rooms in Oceanside, Kettner, and Pasadena, serving retail, on-premise, and direct-to-consumer channels. From the start, the founders aimed to prove that drinkers would choose quality over mass-market alternatives, pioneering the West Coast IPA style that helped define modern craft beer. The company emphasizes freshness, sourcing local and organic ingredients where possible, and pairs its beers with eclectic, world-inspired food at its restaurant locations.
