Stone Brewing Co. Announces
Future Expansions
Stone Brewing Co. is pleased to announce that the company has purchased two additional lots on Citracado Pkwy, the Escondido, CA street that the brewery calls home. Design plans—both for expansion and new additions—are currently getting underway.
Stone Brewing Co. is set to invest an estimated $20+ million into these projects, which will no doubt further cement their facility as a can't-be-missed destination for tourists and locals alike.
A new production building directly adjacent to the south will bring an additional 55,000 sq. ft. production facility adjacent to the current brewery, essentially doubling the existing space for brewing, fermentation and packaging.
For the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, a much-needed kitchen expansion is in the works, along with the establishment of a larger separate kitchen across the street for the new, creatively named catering division: Stone Catering. New company offices will share the site as well.

Also on the drawing board across the street: a combined Event Space & Barrel-Aging facility to allow for fermentation and bottling of sour and experimental beers, as well as long-term barrel aging for beers, such as those in the newly announced Stone Quingenti Millilitre series.

As if all that wasn't enough to occupy their time, get ready for an estimated 50-room Stone Hotel set to open sometime in 2013. "There's no better way to wrap up a day filled with good eats and craft beer than with a plush bed and a comfy pillow," asserts Stone Brewing Co. CEO and Co-Founder Greg Koch. President and Brewmaster Steve Wagner adds, "Plus, I'm pretty sure that we'll have arguably the best darn mini-bars in the country."
