Stone Brewing is shutting down its iconic Escondido headquarters and laying off over 200 workers — a brutal end to a craft beer giant that rose from 1996. After being sold back in April by Sapporo U.S.A. to Firestone Walker, the brewery’s future shifted as popular locations like San Diego’s World Bistro & Gardens were sold off and production moved to Paso Robles and Kansas City. The first wave of cuts hits 58 on October 19th, affecting warehouse, logistics, packaging, QA, and even brewers. With the craft beer boom cooling and pandemic scars still visible, especially in Southern California, this marks the end of an era for a beloved local brand — and a painful reckoning for its employees.
