The Stone Brewing Co. is the brainchild of beer-lover/brewer Steve Wagner and beer-lover/business guy Greg Koch. Between the two of them, there have been visits to over 140 different breweries in the US & Europe, An empty wherehouse and some big dreams! more than 30 beer festivals and tastings, numerous classes in brewing, sensory evaluation and the microbrewing industry, several judgings in beer competitions, and memberships in the Institute for Brewing Studies and the Master Brewers Association of America. In fact, the San Diego Union Tribune says "Calling Koch and Wagner beer experts may be an understatement." We are talking serious beer enthusiasts here! Afraid that something might happen if he took his eyes off the tank for even a split second, Greg stared at the moving fermenter willing nothing to go wrong. Steve and Greg originally met each other in Los Angeles in 1989. Greg had just opened some music rehearsal studios, and Steve's band was amongst the first tenants. They met again a few years later at a weekend "Sensory Evaluation of Beer" class taught at at UC Davis. After the class, Steve and Greg not only disovered that they shared a love of beer, they also discovered that their tastes in beer and ideals in brewing matched as well. |
