Founded in 1996, Stone Brewing is the largest craft brewery in Southern California and one of the largest in the country. From a small microbrewery owned and operated by two friends, it grew into the current brewery, employing more than 1,100 people. In addition to its headquarters and brewery in Escondido, California, Stone Brewing also has operations in Richmond, Virginia and in Berlin, Germany. Brewery's Escondido bistro, attached to the brewery, has an American menu of upscale pub grub made of locally purchased, mostly organic ingredients, 36 craft and specialty beers on tap, an indoor fire pit, and a large beer garden with a grassy area for the kids. The nice atmosphere, modern California design, and superb food made Stone Brewing bistro a popular place for a meal and a well-paired beer.
