Ep. 68 - Deep Dive: Stone Brewing

As the ninth biggest craft brewery, Stone has certainly made a name for itself and become a titan of craft beer from its very humble San Diego roots. But with their recent sale to Japanese beermaker Sapporo, Stone becomes another large craft brewery to fall to the macro beer companies. Join your hosts this week as they explore the history of this brewery and discuss the events that led to their eventual sale. Also, Jason makes sports analogies and Stephen recounts his GABF ticket panic. Beer Tastings: Jason - Arrogant Bastard Ale, Arrogant Consortia, Escondido, CA.
