Stone Finishes Year Up 2%

Dear Client: We caught up with Stone Brewing chief Dominic Engels on the brewer's state of the union for 2018. He told CBD they'll end the year up about 2.5% in U.S. shipments. They'll brew just over 400,000 barrels (for the U.S. and Europe) this year. A lot of that hard won growth comes on the back of their IPAs. Stone's full IPA portfolio is up 17.5% YTD.
