USA & Canada: Stone Brewing to expand product presence to Canada

Stone Brewing has partnered with Horizon Beers to market craft beers in Alberta and British Columbia, as part of its plans to expand in Canada, The Drinks Business Review reported on September, 23.

Stone Brewing sales vice-president Todd Karnig said: "We chose Horizon Beers because they believe in providing craft beer fans with quality beers at the peak of freshness - something that is extremely important to Stone."

Horizon will distribute six year-round Stone beers in addition to special releases such as Stone IPA, Stone Go To IPA, Stone Ruination IPA, Stone Cali-Belgique IPA, Stone Smoked Porter, and Arrogant Bastard Ale.

Stone beers are available across 40 US states and Puerto Rico.

Earlier in July, Stone Brewing announced plans to open a new production brewery and expansive destination restaurant in Berlin, Germany.

The company plans to invest around $25mln in the development of the proposed brewery, which will produce Stone Brewing's year-round and special-release signature ales that will be packaged and distributed throughout Europe.
