Stone Brewing Enters Chicago Market April 1st

There were three breweries on our wish list of those that deserve distribution in Illinois. We say "were" because, starting April 1, Stone Brewing makes its official (legal) debut in the Chicago market. This is not an early April Fool's joke. See for yourself.

To mark the debut, Stone is planning a week of events at bars throughout the city April 1-6, which should dovetail nicely into the Craft Brewers Conference scheduled from April 7-10. In addition to Stone's lineup of beers, owner/CEO Greg Koch, President and brewmaster Steve Wagner and head brewer Mitch Steele will be serving up rare selections from the Stone cellars. We're hoping to be able to interview Koch in the weeks leading up to Craft Brewers conference. Until then, go ahead and count down the days until the Arrogant Bastards go legit.
