Stone 14th Anniversary Celebration recap

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

The Stone Brewing 14th Anniversary Celebration culminated last Saturday with their annual brewfest which was bigger than ever, taking place on the campus of California State University in San Marcos. As usual, Stone had a great selection of beers from breweries all over the world. There was plenty of food including Mike’s Famous Beer Cheese and Arrogant Bastard Onion Rings, both of which are excellent. And this year Stone added a Rare Beer section which included some very hard to find beers from all over the world including the Brewdog Tokyo, the Struisse

From the combined efforts of the Stone Brewing Company, the many breweries who donated beer to the events, the volunteers who worked the events, the Dye-Hards who had their hair dyed green and the attendees of the Brewer’s Reception and the Anniversary Brewfest who simply bought a ticket and drank some great beers, a total donation of over $180,000 will be distributed to some great charities in the Escondido and San Marcos areas.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of helping to change people’s lives for the better.

I’ll be posting some Beers With segments with Greg Koch, Dr Bill and others from the 14th Anniversary soon.

I can’t believe the vacation is over already but wow, it was such an amazing time. I needed that time with my family since I live so far away from them and it was good to recharge the batteries.

And upon return to sunny LA, I hit the ground running and charged right back into the editing bay. My first goal was to get the “Beers With Greg Koch” segment edited and posted on the website. Well… mission accomplished!

My buddy Craig McNelly, who owns Berkeley Avenue Productions, and I finished the segment on Sunday and got it posted to the website last night. I broke it down into three segments to make it easier to watch, especially for those who have A-D-D, as I do. It’s a great segment and Greg really gives us some great insight into Stone and the craft beer industry, talks about Beer Wars and responds to criticisms and introduces us to “nurturies”. Good times!
