The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s just some of what’s been happening while you were drinking your way through the weekend.
Stone Brewing Ships Fresh Beer Direct To Fans in Washington DC
One of positives that came out of the COVID 19 lockdowns was that breweries advanced their direct-to-consumer games. And now Escondido-headquartered Stone Brewing has announced that they are kicking off 2022 with expanded direct-to-consumer sales into the nation’s capital.
DC beer fans now have access to Stone’s year-round offerings and special releases, Greg’s Cellar Collection of vintage beers and the exclusive Stone One Batch Dispatch Program.
The Stone One Batch Dispatch Program is a series of super fresh beers only available online and at Stone locations. The series features unexpected styles, innovative recipes and only a finite number of four-packs with each release.
Online shipping of Stone’s beers also means access to Greg’s Cellar Collection. A collection of vintage beers that have been carefully stashed away allowing them to age gracefully and take on new perspectives, nuances and depth.
“Stone’s nationwide distribution has earned fans in all 50 states and we simply want those fans to have easy access to their favorite beers,” explained Maria Stipp, Stone Brewing CEO. “What’s more, we recognize that the small batch neighborhood brewery experience is in high demand. Stone’s One Batch Dispatch program allows for beer drinkers to experience our most complex and fresh beers that used to only be found at the brewery.”

Bronx Brewery Opens Experimental Pilot Brewery in Manhattan
The Bronx Brewery, one New York City’s first craft breweries, has announced the opening of new pilot brewery, taproom and kitchen in the heart of NYC’s famed East Village.
Situated at 64 Second Avenue (between. 3rd & 4th St) Bronx Brewery’s new downtown venue will feature a fully-functional small-batch brewery in the center of the seating area, with food by the first US location of award-winning Sweden-based burger outfit, Bastard Burgers.
“We believe beer has the power to bring people together, and that it can be a platform for showcasing the creativity and diversity of our community,” says Damian Brown, Bronx Brewery Co-Founder and President. “Our new East Village location is another step towards moving beyond the beer itself and inspiring a different and more inclusive approach in the industry.”
The new pilot brewery is one of only a small handful of examples of beer production in Manhattan proper, signaling yet another step forward in the revitalization of the island’s rich brewing history that began in the early 1600’s but has lain dormant until recently.
