New Stone Brewing ownership shifts production, triggering Escondido layoffs

Stone Brewing’s Escondido operations are being wound down after Sapporo USA sold the brand to Firestone Walker and Duvel Moortgat USA, with production moving to Firestone Walker’s Paso Robles facility and Duvel’s Kansas City facility, prompting about 220 layoffs (58 starting Oct. 19) and the wind-down of the Escondido site’s operations, in what’s part of a broader Southern California business shake-up that also includes Bumble Bee Foods’ Santa Fe Springs plant closure.

Stone Brewing Finds New Home Under Firestone Walker and Duvel Moortgat

Stone Brewing, San Diego’s largest craft brewer, is being acquired by Firestone Walker Brewing Company and Duvel Moortgat USA, bringing Stone’s beers and several taprooms under their umbrella while preserving the brand; the Escondido facility and bistro are not included, production will move to Firestone Walker’s Paso Robles facility and Duvel USA’s Missouri brewery, with distribution split regionally and Liberty Station continuing as a hospitality venue. The deal, expected to close this summer, comes as craft-beer volumes decline in the U.S. and Stone’s annual production has fallen to about 250,000 barrels, with about 300 local jobs in play during the transition.
