Stone Brewing’s Greg Koch Taking 4-Month “Off-Grid” Sabbatical In Feb 2014

Interesting news for Stone Brewing’s Greg Koch as he plans a 4-month sabbatical beginning in Feb 2014.  Details from The Voice of San Diego:

Before he leaves on a four-month, off-the-grid trip in February, Koch says he’s taking steps to ensure Stone’s fate is set for years to come. He’s long damned the conglomerates that snap up or try to imitate fast-growing companies like his.

He’s currently going through legal machinations to lock that ethos into the company’s bylaws. Industrial companies won’t be allowed to buy it as a result, he says. 

“I can’t tell somebody how to make a decision in 2089. But what I can do is tell them here’s why we think these things are important to us — and now I’d like you to apply those principles in your world,” he says. “The only way Stone Brewing Company will be allowed to exist is if we maintain our standards.”
