Stone Brewing crowd-funds to support new facilities
Stone Groundbreaking Collaborations craft beers to support new U.S., German facilities
Stone Brewing Co., Escondido, Calif., is launching its first crowd-participation campaign, which it describes as “the campaign for cross-planetary brewing,” on Indiegogo. Through Aug. 16, the campaign invites fans to join Stone Brewing in “a craft beer revolution” by purchasing special collaboration beers, the purchase of which will be used to expedite the construction of the restaurant and garden components of Stone Brewing’s new facilities in Berlin and east of the Mississippi. Each of the new locations will include a production brewery, packaging and distribution operations, farm-to-table restaurant, gardens, and a retail store.
During the course of the campaign, the craft brewer will announce new collaborative beers under the name Stone Groundbreaking Collaborations. Produced in collaboration with other craft brewers, the beers will be sold in 1.5-liter commemorative bottles for $50 each through the Indiegogo site. Because the beers will all be brewed at the Berlin location once it is operational, campaign contributors will receive a certificate of redemption, which they can use to pick up the beers at designated Stone Brewing locations once they are ready for consumption.
