In a blog post today, Greg Koch, co-founder of Stone Brewing announced that the company has sold their Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens Berlin facility to Brewdog.
Stating that “we struggled greatly,” Greg went on to say that the company “invested a significant portion of a decade and significant millions building Stone Berlin. And it didn’t work out. These things hurt and these things happen. This one happened. And this one hurts a lot.”
The brewery itself is a 100HL state of the art system with both a canning line and bottling line and also a 10 HL pilot system too. The main building of the brewery campus features an amazing 2,500m2 tap room with a 13m high glass wall to the brewery and there are also 5,000m2 of outdoor gardens for enjoying a beer outside.
The Berlin location will remain open until the end of April, at which time formal ownership will be handed off to BrewDog
