Stone Considering Opening A Brewery In Europe?

Steve and Greg from Stone Brewing Company discuss how they are considering putting together a RFP (Request For Proposal) with regards to opening a brewery in Europe.  It would allow them to get their beer to the other side of the world without dealing with complicated and expensive shipping efforts.  They promise to keep us updated as the process moves along so stay tuned!

From Greg Koch

"This is a very exciting project for Steve and me... and all of us at Stone Brewing. We're going to be learning quite a bit with this endeavor, first and foremost: Will we be welcome? We're approaching this with no assumptions other than we'd like to consider any and all options (other than having our beers contract brewed by another brewery, as that's simply not our style). Many of the countries of Europe have great brewing traditions. Some countries are also currently experiencing a bit of a resurgence of small, independent (and independent thinking) breweries. As anyone knows that has visited the Stone Brewing Co. and our attached restaurant - the Stone World Bistro & Gardens - where we have more Guest taps than we do of Stone, we enjoy sharing the camaraderie of great craft beers. We look forward to joining in the fight in Europe by doing our part to add to the growing trend towards unique, flavorful artisanal beers, as opposed to the mass-blandification efforts characterized by megabrand sameness!"

And in a follow up to the above Steve explains his great love of France.
