Stone 8th Anniversary
Dave

The Stone 8th Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival has come and gone, but the "giving" is just beginning. We were truly moved by the tremendous turnout and enthusiasm and we're excited to report that the money we raised for the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos, the Palomar Family YMCA, and the Surfrider Foundation was more than $39,000!



* 8 Years & Brewing Strong *

If you've been to our past Anniversaries, you know what a great time it is. If you haven't, check them out on our Stone Photo Album page to see what you've been missing.

The Stone 8th Anniversary Celebration was held at the future site of our new brewery!
Since our beginning in 1996, Stone has seen phenomenal growth every year. Our current brewery is running out of room and capacity! In late June 2004, we announced the location of our new 50,000 square foot brewery, (which should be up-and-running late Summer 2005).

"Make Your 'Do Blue" Week
This year our "hair thing" is back, and it's bad, it's a benefit, it's bodacious and it will be something to behold...it's Stone Brewing's "Make Your 'Do Blue" Week! Here's how it works: Participants collect pledges/donations to dye their hair blue for a week (much as you would collect pledges for a walk-a-thon). "Go Blue” August 14th-21st!

Keg Checkouts & Growler Fills:
Sorry, no Growler Fills or Keg Checkouts the day of the Anniversary Open House (it's just too busy!). If you need a growler or a keg for that weekend, be sure to come to the Gift Shop & Tasting Bar on Friday the 20th.
