Brew News: Stone Brewing Store Officially Opens Tomorrow in Pasadena

Stone Brewing's Company Store officially opens tomorrow in Pasadena. But this isn't a bar. The 16 year-old company's first L.A. establishment will operate more like a wine tasting room, offering small samples, growler fills, bottle sales, and keg rentals of their award-winning beers, as well as a selection of brand merch. There will also be special pours of limited edition brews in the Pasadena storefront, like the wildly popular Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout that sold out last week.
Stone will join the likes of Pasadena's sizeable beer scene, including Haven Gastropub, Lucky Baldwin's, and Craftsman Brewing, which was established in 1995.
Stone's chief executive and co-founder Greg Koch used to live in LA himself, and acknowledged in a recent L.A Times piece that even though our city's craft beer scene is younger than San Diego's, there's a lot going on here, and he's happy to have Stone in the mix.
The Escondido-based brewery's storefront quietly soft opened a few weeks ago, but the hours have been eratic as they are finding their footing. The official celebration of the grand opening tomorrow. From there on out, hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
