2018 Exclusive Release Beers expand offerings for Stone’s most dedicated fans
ESCONDIDO, CA (March 5, 2018) – Stone Brewing announces a 2018 lineup of packaged Exclusive Release Beers available only at Stone Brewing locations. These beers are intended only for Stone’s most dedicated fans making the pilgrimage to its tap rooms and company stores in Southern California and Richmond, VA.
Experimental beers and pilot batches are constantly rotating through Stone’s growler fill list and that won’t change. Instead, the team is adding to its in-store only offerings with packaged beers not found at retailers. Each beer exemplifies Stone’s commitment to innovation, bringing fresh styles to the mix and showcasing new bold flavors.
“We love our dedicated fans who visit us, growlers in hand, to fill up on the latest pilot beers and freshest new releases,” said Dominic Engels, Stone Brewing CEO. “With so much creativity now happening at each of our three breweries, we identified the opportunity to give something more to our fans, who we really believe deserve something special. These in-store releases will include some pilot batch fan favorites, one-off celebratory beers and first-look availability of our larger releases.”
