Coming Up
Independent brewery building in the late-1990s California craft-beer field required a clear house voice as much as production discipline. Greg Koch made his mark as co-founder of Stone Brewing in San Marcos, California (1996–2022), helping shape the brewery’s identity over more than two decades.
Signature
A brewery signature is carried by names that remain legible to drinkers and trade buyers over time. Greg's signature beers include Stone IPA, Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone Ruination IPA, and Stone Pale Ale.
