Stone Set To Open New Store in South Park

Stone Brewing Co. is proud to announce plans to open a Stone Company Store in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego.

Stone believes that South Park—with it’s central location, pedestrian/bike friendly streets, and strong sense of local community—is the perfect location.

The Stone Company Store | South Park will bring Stone Brewing Co. merchandise and growler fills to the city of San Diego for the first time. It will allow fans of Stone’s fresh, locally-brewed beer to fill reusable glass jugs known as “growlers” with a variety of Stone beers. Growlers, which are endlessly reusable, are the most environmentally sustainable way to drink Stone beers at home.

Stone Co-Founder & CEO Greg Koch said, “South Park is such a wonderful community with a fantastic and growing craft beer scene. We are excited to contribute to the continued strengthening and development of this unique, tight-knit neighborhood.”

Stone Brewing Co. has signed a lease on a building to house The Stone Company Store | South Park and hopes to open by late 2010.
