I've loved Stone brewing for 12 years and am currently stuck in Oklahoma where it's not available. I drive to Missouri once a month to grab 2 or 3 cases of Stone. Greatest experience with beer I've ever had in the industry. Many customers at my store wish they could buy them here.
Great segment. Why in the hell hadn't I heard of you guys a long time ago is beyond me. I'm up here in the Pacific Northwest and we have a lot of breweries popping up, but of course we lost our two biggest in Rainier Brewing and Olympia Beer.
Good luck to Stone in Berlin. I have had a tough time getting Germans to warm up to the American Style of Craft Beer. Most recently, I had a man at local brew pub try a APA made in Germany and called it a 'Woman's Beer'...
I just tasted the stone IPA oh the best beer I have had. Easily my new favorite. Only problem is that they don't sell it everywhere. An if they do it's just the 24 oz bottles not 12 packs.
if you agree with freeze dried, prepackaged products which are based on marketing over anything else then stick with the fizzy yellow stuff. capitalism works because buyers are well informed and are capable of choosing the best products. when monolithic corporations with incredible resources decide to create the cheapest product possible and spend a little extra on marketing capitalism goes out the window. it's not about the best product anymore. support capitalism. support quality products.
"Europe is much more entrenched in its beer culture" *opens brewery in Berlin and invties media to take photos of Greg smashing all the beloved local beers so he can tell them that the Americans have finally arrived to show the Germans how to do beer* Pity they didn't put the expert in charge of this. Always sad I missed Stone Berlin but the fact that it easily converted to BrewDog shows that Stone's approach was the problem, not the provision itself. Sad to see that there were staff in Stone who actually understood how bad their PR approach was. They might have got away with that shit in many countries but why on earth were they trying that shit in Belgium and Germany where these countries were open to craft but also didn't see traditional as the enemy, stupid strategy imo.
Steele reads my mind and speaks my language. You da MAN!

I love this company, and Mitch is my hero. He may have come from Budweiser but he knows beer.
Stone Brewing is coming to Richmond VA ... woohoo!
Stone really does make some incredible beer no joke!

I love that smoked porter. Good episode
Well, that settles it!, the next time I go to Escondido, to visit uncle I will make a pilgrimage to Stone!
they had planned on that at one point but the deal for the brewery out there fell though last i heard.
soooo want to go to there!!
I"m a huge Stone fan, also Ballast Point!!!
yep and ten fidy
awesome tv show
San Diego - drink it in, it always goes down smooth. It's a fact, it's the greatest city in the history of mankind.
You guys looked STONEd at the end. (by 12:30) hahaha
I'm worthy.

They will probably brew their styles. I'd hire a local brew master to teach me about and to brew the local favorite
depends on what it is. Fruity Pale Ales are nothing a "normal" would like.
A solid Porter or Stout is a different game
Stone Sold Out!
When I tried my first six pk of that beer, it got me so drunk! Good BEER!

Stone needs to move to Belgium and show them how to brew
"Something takes a part of me...."
I will make this pilgrimage as soon as they finish the hotel so I can get shit faced and avoid a DUI
You mean Greg Koch, one of the founders of Stone?
wow, that guy talking about an overly comoditized beer being the number one seller is fucking obnoxious.
Arrogant Bastard is a tasty brew though

I don't like the owner. Makes some tasty beer tho

Kinda boring hosts. This comes across as real low budget.
Punks unite and boycott
Stone and Ballast point sucks.
Pizza Port Swamis is way better.
