We brought you the news that Stone had put out a RFP for a new midwest or east-coast brewery. Now comes news that several markets are courting Stone brewing to build the brewery in their town.
From WATE:
Business leaders in Blount County are making a pitch to another well-known craft brewing company from California.
Three years ago it seemed the county was on the verge of luring Sierra Nevada Brewing, but the company picked Asheville, N.C. instead.
Now the county is launching a campaign centered around social media to draw the attention of Stone Brewing Company.
They even wrote and produced two songs designed to tell the company why it should pick Blount County, and those songs already have hundreds of downloads.
The edgy rock and roll songs are a unique way to try to bring in new business to Blount County, but those behind the music say it is exactly the approach they need to get Stone Brewing Company’s attention.
Greensboro Partnership Economic Development announced through a new Facebook page that Stone Brewing is looking at the city for its first East Coast site.
Cyndi Dancy, the vice president of business development services for Greensboro Partnership Economic Development, said Friday that the city wants to show its personality to Stone Brewing — the 10th largest craft brewer in the United States, according to the company’s website.
From MyHorry:
Myrtle Beach business leaders hope they can land a major craft brewery and more than 300 jobs by tapping into their creative resources.
California-based Stone Brewing Co. is looking to build a brewery east of the Mississippi River and local officials are trying to persuade the beer maker to come to the beach.
The Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC) on Wednesday launched a Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/StoneBrewedMB to build support for the brewery and EDC officials plan to meet with the company on March 27.
