Stone Brewing Co. is made up of four components: brewery operations, Stone packaging and distribution center, Stone World Bistro & Gardens, and Stone Company Store. Each element is a critical in bringing our Stone beer, philosophy, and experience to our fan base and new customers.
A major contender in the United States craft beer market, Stone Brewing Co. currently employs more than 875 people. Our company occupies more than 238,000 sf of brewing, packaging, warehousing, distribution, and office space. Due to ever-increasing demand, our production capacity has been in a state of constant expansion since our inception in 1996. Part of our success can be attributed to our insistence on purchasing the most up-to-date and efficient brewing equipment available. Of the more than 250 craft breweries operating in California, we are one of only two to employ start-of-the-art brewhouse systems manufactured by ROLEC GmbH of Munich, Germany. A major investment of several million dollars, these systems have provided a significant increase in production and efficiency. Using both of our ROLEC systems, we have the capability of brewing up to 1,000 barrels of beer in a single day. In addition, we have separate facilities that produce and package our specialty beers, which include barrel aged, limited release, and sour beers.

We pride ourselves on brewing the beers that we like to drink. Yes, Stone has won prestigious awards and received countless accolades; however, we choose to brew our beers the way we do because we love them. They are unique, big-character beers featuring bold flavors that defy traditional style guidelines and expectations. Our brewing decisions do not take into account cost or focus-group preferences. We reject lowest-common-denominator avor proles and mediocrity. We treat beer as an art form rather than as a commodity. In short, our beers reflect our passion for brewing.

To keep up with our monumental growth, in 2013 we completed construction of a 60,000 sf state-of-theart bottling and kegging facility next to our current brewery. In addition, this facility houses our quality assurance lab, offices, and some equipment storage. The Stone Packaging Hall is anticipated to achieve LEED Silver certification. One of the key sustainability features of this facility is our grid-tied 360.9 kW DC (318 kW AC) photovoltaic system, which offsets a significant portion of the buildings energy needs.
Reflecting our commitments to collaboration, growing the craft beer category, and mutual economic benefit, Stone also distributes beer from more than thirty U.S. and import craft breweries, providing crucial access to the market for these valuable small- and medium-size businesses. For example, Stone is now the secondlargest U.S. wholesaler for Belgiums famed Duvel brand, and is the largest wholesaler for respected breweries such as AleSmith, Lost Abbey, Russian River, The Bruery, Avery Brewing, Bear Republic, and others.

Our Stone World Bistro & Gardens offers a unique dining experience and a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At our Stone World Bistro & Gardens, we provide our fans with the opportunity to explore and enjoy Stone beer in a relaxed, intimate setting framed by our award-winning architecture. The style has been described as industrial-becomingorganic, and it embodies our affinity for melding organic features of reclaimed wood, stone, plant life, and fresh air with industrial elements of metal, concrete, and glass. At our World Bistro & Gardens, we serve food that complements the harmonious nature of the physical surroundings; our restaurants specialize in using locally grown, organic ingredients to create eclectic, world-inspired cuisine. As ambassadors of the craft beer movement, we proudly feature extensive arrays of exceptional craft and specialty beers from all over the world on tap and in bottles. Outstanding wine selections and house-made sodas round out our lineup of world-class artisanal beverages.
Stone World Bistro & Gardens allows us to promote awareness and appreciation of the craft brewing industry and local businesses through the numerous recreational and educational opportunities we provide to our patrons at these locations. Each month we hold Beer University classes and beer pairing events that educate guests while they sample craft beers paired with such diverse foods as sushi, cheese, and chocolates. At these events, we customarily feature foods and goods produced within our region, such as gourmet chocolates from local chocolatiers and fresh-pressed olive oils from local orchards. Our very popular Fresh Dinner series has become an icon of the slow food movement, showcasing food harvested in the morning from local farms and served that evening for dinner. During the summer, we show popular movies outdoors in our gardens, promoting a convivial and relaxed atmosphere where hundreds of local residents congregate for entertainment and socializing.
The arrival of a craft brewery was also often one of the first signs that a neighborhood was changing. From New England to the West Coast, new businesses bubbled up around breweries, drawing young people and creating a vibrant community where families could plant roots and small businesses could thrive.

HITTING THE SCENE STONE DISTRIBUTING EXPANSION CONTINUES NEW DIGS FARM-TO-TABLE EATERIES STONE FARMS BEYOND THE BREWHOUSE DECADE OF DECADENCE
25
In 1996, Steve and Greg opened Stones doors with a small but eager four-deep employee base and an unflagging determination to brew beers they personally believed in.
In 2000, to further our goal to deliver exceptional beer, we established Stone Distributing. Today, that business gets over two million cases annually to market at the peak of freshness.
Stone is currently sold in 40 states, six countries and one U.S. territory, and continues to expand, quenching the thirst of numerous markets with new, innovative, high-quality beers.
After pushing beyond the limits of our original brewhouse, we built a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Escondido, Calif., in 2005, greatly increasing our capacity and brewing abilities.
In 2006, we set out to elevate the dining world through beer, opening Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. Seven years later, we opened a second, larger restaurant near San Diegos bay front.
In 2011, we took over a North San Diego County farm, from which we now supply our brewery restaurants with local, sustainable, ber-fresh meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
In 2012, we added a second brewhouse, doubling our production capacity, and built an immense Stone Packaging Hall directly south of our brewery, upping our bottling and QA capabilities.
Amongst titans of biochemistry, tourism, engineering, and construction, Stone has consistently ranked among San Diegos 100 fastest-growing businesses and is the first to do so for 10 straight years.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
We are dedicated to supporting our community and promoting a culture of social responsibility. Since Stones founding in 1996, we have contributed more than $3 million to charity, and in 2013 alone, we made contributions exceeding $650,000 in value to more than 400 charitable organizations! Over the years, we have raised more than $1,750,000 on behalf of local charitable organizations just through our annual Stone Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival. We do support national and regional charities, but the majority of our philanthropic efforts are focused on local groups so that our money goes back to the community where we live and work. In addition to direct donations, we also host numerous fundraisers and charitable events at our two restaurants and provide meeting space for local environmental, social, and community groups. Members of our ownership and management teams also take social responsibility personally and sit on the boards of several local charitable and philanthropic organizations.
As a philanthropic leader in the community, Stone Brewing Co. has raised the bar for other local businesses to get involved in making an impact on the lives of others. Shelly Anguiano Figueroa, CEO
