Stone 14th Anniversary Celebration

The Stone 14th Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival is a tribute to another marvelous year of brewing with all the proceeds going to charity.

In the past, the Stone Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival has been a one-day, two-session event, with upwards of 40 breweries pouring well over 100 of their finest nectars for throngs of enthused fans. The event has been so stupendously successful, both as a bringer of good cheer and as a charity fundraiser (last year we raised over $150,000), that we’ve decided to double down on the radness and add a couple of new events, all still taking place at the eminently hospitable CSU San Marcos.

Friday Night VIP/Brewers Reception – Friday, August 20th | 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

For the first time ever, we’re inviting the public to join the party with our special guest brewers the evening before Saturday’s big festival! You’ll get the opportunity to rub elbows with dozens of the best craft brewers in the world while sampling over 20 hand-picked beers. In addition, complimentary food will be created exclusively for the reception by festival vendors and our own Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. You’ll even get to try a special variety of Mike’s Beer Cheese made with Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale!

Stone 14th Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival

Saturday, August 21st
SESSION A 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
SESSION B 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Our annual Anniversary Celebration has become the biggest craft beer festival in Southern California, and this year it’s even bigger! We’ve invited dozens of craft brewers from all around the globe to join us, and they’re bringing more than a hundred of their most exceptional beers with them (check out last year’s awesome beer list!). The gorgeous setting at CSU San Marcos, a plethora of amazing brews, our beloved Arrogant Bastard Ale onion rings, Mike’s Beer Cheese, and delicious homebrewed sodas all add up to one seriously good time.

Saturday Rare Beer Section* – Saturday, August 21st | 11:00 am – 6:00 pm

This new and special section will be located outside of the general festival area, and will be open during both sessions AND intermission! You’ll have the entire day to come and go as you please between the Rare Beer Section and the main festival and enjoy your beers at a leisurely pace. In addition to the dozens of one-offs and extremely hard-to-find (if not impossible) brews provided by our guest brewers, you’ll also be treated to a selection of rare brews hunted down by “Dr.” Bill Sysak from all corners of the globe. To make it even more memorable, every half hour until 5 pm, one of our guest brewers will make an appearance to chat, sign autographs, and perhaps even bring an extra-special brew to share!

*All attendees on Saturday will receive 10 tasters total. No additional tasters will be sold, so pace yourself accordingly! No outside beer will be allowed into the festival.
