The San Diego brewery is throwing in the towel on its Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Berlin, selling it to Brewdog.
Founder Greg Koch said opening a Berlin, Germany, facility was “too big, too bold, too soon.” He sold the Berlin facility inside a historic gasworks to Brewdog. Terms weren’t disclosed. “These things happen,” he said, adding: “This one hurts a lot.”
Stone will continue to be distributed around Europe, he said.
