Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens NOW OPEN!

Escondido, CA - The Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens is now open at Stone’s spectacular new specialty brewing facility in Escondido.

Stone Brewing has put the same care, crafting and creativity into its new restaurant as it puts into its award-winning brews – with a few new twists and surprises added!

“We're very excited to bring such a unique environment to the beer and dining culture in San Diego County,” said Stone Brewing Chairman & CEO Greg Koch.  “With our acre of gardens, expansive indoor and outdoor dining, and unique menu --- to say nothing about one of the most incredible lineup of local and specialty beers anyone could hope for --- we have truly been able to create a culinary paradise.  Come for lunch, stay for dinner!"

Stone’s World Bistro menu is as bold and refreshing as its famous ales—and features the finest in fresh, locally- and naturally-grown ingredients. You’ll find appetizers such as Arrogant Bastard Ale Onion Rings, Stone Pale Ale & Garlic Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts and The Soft & Stinky Cheese Plate.  Some of the intriguingly and creatively prepared culinary entrees include Super-Septuple Garlic Bomb Chicken, BBQ Duck Tacos, Thai-Style Red Curry Pork Tenderloin, and Bruschetta BLT Sandwich along with a long list of palette-pleasing fare created in the unique style that pervades all Stone’s offerings. 

Not only are there plenty of fresh-from-the-brewery Stone ales on tap to go with the menu, but also an amazing selection of San Diego County beers from other breweries to complement the fare. A gourmet wine list featuring many San Diego County, regional and international selections is also available.

The indoor-outdoor setting features an “escape-from-reality” boulder garden (more than 250 boulders ranging from 1-ton to 35 tons) and a native and exotic plant reserve that could only have been created by the minds that have turned Stone into such a great success story.

Stone Brewing is famous for its year-round brews such as Stone Pale Ale, Stone Smoked Porter, Stone IPA, Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone Ruination IPA and Stone Levitation Ale.

Stone Special Releases include Stone Anniversary Ale, Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine, Stone Imperial Russian Stout, the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series, Double Bastard Ale, and OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale.

The Stone Brewing Co. was co-founded by President & Brewmaster Steve Wagner and CEO Greg Koch, who opened their first brewing facility in San Marcos, California in 1996.

Now celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and operating out of a beautiful new showplace brewery in Escondido, California, Stone Brewing has become one of the premier craft brewers in America – and one of the fastest growing AND most highly rated breweries in the world.

Media members – if you plan to visit the Stone world Bistro & Gardens, let us know in advance and we’ll arrange priority seating.

Special Note: Stone Brewing will be celebrating the opening of its World Bistro and Gardens with a special event on Christmas Eve, which will to Stone’s legion of devotees -- a “Holiday Present to Beer Enthusiasts.”
