Stone Brewing Receives Multiple Awards from RateBeer

“California is the most hotly contested region in the world,” said Joseph Tucker, Executive Director at RateBeer. With nearly a million ratings tabulated in 2016 alone, RateBeer has honored the best in beer since 2002, and this year, the competition was larger and won by slimmer margins than ever before.”

Additionally, the newly opened Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Berlin received an award for “Best Place for Beer in Germany” and “Best New Brewer in Berlin, Germany.” Quite an accomplishment from a California brewer in a country that is world famous for their beer culture. Open less than one year, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Berlin didn’t waste time setting itself apart. The destination restaurant boasts the largest draft beer lineup in Germany, featuring beers brewed by Stone on site, and an incredible curated selection of German, European and American craft and specialty beers.

“We’re thrilled to have received recognition not only for being the highest rated California brewery, but also as a Top 100 Brewer in the World,” said Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Executive Chairman & co-founder. “We are enormously proud and humbled that the voices of our fans enjoying our beers in pubs, restaurants and homes across the US, Mexico, Australasia, and now across 19 countries in Western and Eastern Europe have elevated us with this accolade,” he noted.

Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Escondido also received honors being named “Best Place for Beer in the United States."
