A MESSAGE FROM THE COFOUNDERS

Stone Brewing Co. has come a long way since we opened in 1996. We have grown from a small microbrewery with just two founders into the tenth-largest craft brewery in the United States, employing nearly 900 amazing men and women. Stone beers are now distributed in 40 states and seven countries.

From the beginning, our goal has been to brew outstanding, unique beers while maintaining an unwavering commitment to sustainability, business ethics, and the art of brewing.

We don’t just make beer; we make craft beer. That means we’re independently owned, comparatively small, and use traditional brewing methods and ingredients. We focus exclusively on making distinctive, high-quality beers that taste nothing like mass-produced lagers.

The purpose of this booklet is to acquaint you with our concept and serve as a Request For Proposal for a new Stone Brewing Co. location East of the Mississippi. If you believe your community has the right combination of elements to be the new Eastern home of the Stone Brewing Co., we invite you to provide a proposal.

We thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you!

The guy who loves to crank it up. The guy who sometimes has to say “Turn that *@#! down!”

Stone Brewing Co. is the tenth-largest craft brewery in the United States, headquartered in Escondido, California (San Diego region). Founded in 1996 by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Stone today employs nearly 900 talented men and women. In 2013 produced 213,000 barrels of beer and exceeded $135,000,000 in revenue.

In addition to its core operations, brewing, packaging, and distribution, Stone owns: � Stone World Bistro & Gardens – Escondido: farm-to-table restaurant since 2006, winner of awards such as:

– 2007 People’s Choice Orchid Award at the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s annual “Orchids & Onions” awards – 2009 American Society of Landscape Architects Presidents Award – San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price’s Sustainability Award in 2009 � Stone World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station: farm-to-table restaurant since May 2013

– Winner of the 2013 People’s Choice Orchid Award at the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s annual “Orchids & Onions” awards – At 23,500 square feet under roof, it is the largest restaurant in San Diego county � Stone Brewing Co. restaurant at the San Diego International Airport � Stone Farms: a 19-acre organic farm supplying its Bistros � Stone Company Stores: local/community retail stores � Stone Distributing Co.: The largest independent craft beer wholesaler in Southern California, representing

35 craft & specialty brands in the marketplace.

Stone has experienced tremendous growth in our 17 years and the following is confirmation of that: � Annual sales have grown a year-on-year average of 46 percent since the company was founded, making us

the fastest-growing brewery in the United States. � In 2013, we were recognized by the San Diego Business Journal as one of the region’s 100 Fastest-Growing Private

Companies for the tenth year in a row (the only San Diego company to ever achieve that distinction) � We were named one of Inc. Magazine’s 5,000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the seventh year in a row. � In 2011, Ernst & Young named our CEO, Greg Koch, Ernst & Young San Diego County Entrepreneur of the Year. � In 2012, the San Diego Business Journal honored Greg as the 2012 “Most Admired CEO”. � The San Diego Business Journal named our Chief Financial Officer Craig Spitz as the 2013 Chief Financial

Officer of the Year for a medium privately held company.

We are also proud to have grown without compromising our commitment to business ethics. In an industry known for its vigorous — and at times unseemly — competition, we have embraced collaboration, integrity, and quality as the hallmarks of our business. We view fellow craft breweries as compatriots rather than competitors and, indeed, often provide assistance with their business by serving their beer at our restaurants, distributing their beer, assisting in the design of their brewery, or providing key beer ingredients (e.g., malts, hops) when they are in need.

The craft beer industry in the San Diego region has developed into a vibrant community-based industry with more than 78 active breweries. According to a recent National University report, the San Diego Craft brewing industry generated a $300,000,000 direct economic impact, creating 2,796 jobs and contributing enormous tax revenue in a difficult economy. Former San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders stated that “Breweries generate one of the highest job multipliers of any of the different industry clusters: 5.7 indirect jobs for each job they create.”

Stone has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the San Diego region. In 2012, the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Escondido hosted more than 600,000 visitors, and more than 60,000 took our informative and entertaining brewery tour. Our bold, flavorful, and often hop-centric beers have made us known throughout the world. Paramount to our brand is that our beer is always available fresh; each bottle is clearly marked with an expiration date.

In 2014 Stone Brewing Co. intends to identify the site for and begin work on our new Eastern US facility. The ideal location will be East of the Mississippi and allow for us to easily be served by our suppliers and for us to easily serve our customers and fans throughout the Eastern half of the US.

Beyond a pure focus on creating innovative, fresh craft beer of the highest quality, Stone Brewing Co. follows two additional operating tenets: to create a superior, engaging experience for our customers and to be an integral, beneficial member of the community.

Our operations facility will feature a full-production brewery, packaging, distribution and administrative support operations, which will produce beer to be distributed East of the Mississippi, as well as for export. Our Stone World Bistro & Gardens, retail and potential other operations will follow.

The entire operation will be staffed with local employees, and we strive to source all materials locally. We seek to establish local business relationships with all necessary partners to initiate and conduct business in the selected location, and with relevant nearby universities to engage in talent and industry development, student internships and potential lab/research initiatives, as we do in San Diego.

Capital expenditures are projected to well exceed $20,000,000 for the initial phase of the business plan. Production is projected to exceed 120,000 barrels in the first phase and eventually scale to nearly 500,000. Payroll will grow in number to the low to mid-hundreds with a balanced mix of exempt and non exempt employees as the operations expand. Revenue projected from the facility will exceed $100M in year four and grow over time into hundreds of millions annually. Of course, this excludes the broader economic impact of business partners (including university students, agriculture, heavy equipment, controls/automation, software, IT, logistics and other materials) and patronage of our Stone World Bistro & Gardens locations and stores.

Once developed, the Stone World Bistro & Gardens outside area will be beautifully landscaped, and where visitors will be able to enjoy craft beer, dine, and enjoy our gardens. Similar to our Escondido and Liberty Station locations in California, we anticipate the next Stone World Bistro & Gardens becoming a wildly successful destination that the local community and people from throughout the region will visit.

Our selection of a location will be based upon a number of factors, including completeness of responses, advantageous operational expenses (e.g., labor, utilities, logistics, etc.), development challenges, availability/timing, unique attributes (e.g., redeveloped or historic properties, sustainable sites), creativity as well as a significant weighting on incentive/development packages available. If there are any questions that we can answer to help inform your response, please do not hesitate to ask via the contact information provided on page 36. In the meantime, we eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,

Pat TiernanChief Operating Officer

BREWERY OPERATIONS

A major contender in the United States craft beer market, Stone

Brewing Co. currently employs more than 875 people. Our company

occupies more than 238,000 sf of brewing, packaging, warehousing,

distribution, and office space. Due to ever-increasing demand, our

production capacity has been in a state of constant expansion since

our inception in 1996. Part of our success can be attributed to our

insistence on purchasing the most up-to-date and efficient brewing

equipment available.

Of the more than 250 craft breweries operating in California, we

are one of only two to employ start-of-the-art brewhouse systems

manufactured by ROLEC GmbH of Munich, Germany. A major

investment of several million dollars, these systems have provided

a significant increase in production and efficiency. Using both of

our ROLEC systems, we have the capability of brewing up to 1,000

barrels of beer in a single day.

In addition, we have separate facilities that produce and package our

specialty beers, which include barrel aged, limited release, and sour

beers.

BEERS

We pride ourselves on brewing the beers that we like to drink. Yes, Stone has won prestigious awards and received countless accolades; however, we choose to brew our beers the way we do because we love them. They are unique, big-character beers featuring bold flavors that defy traditional style guidelines and expectations. Our brewing decisions do not take into account cost or focus-group preferences. We reject lowest-common-denominator flavor profiles and mediocrity. We treat beer as an art form rather than as a commodity. In short, our beers reflect our passion for brewing.

STONE PACKAGING AND DISTRIBUTION CENTER

To keep up with our monumental growth, in 2013 we completed construction of a 60,000 sf state-of-the-art bottling and kegging facility next to our current brewery. In addition, this facility houses our quality assurance lab, offices, and some equipment storage. The Stone Packaging Hall is anticipated to achieve LEED Silver certification. One of the key sustainability features of this facility is our grid-tied 360.9 kW DC (318 kW AC) photovoltaic system, which offsets a significant portion of the building’s energy needs.

Reflecting our commitments to collaboration, growing the craft beer category, and mutual economic benefit, Stone also distributes beer from more than thirty U.S. and import craft breweries, providing crucial access to the market for these valuable small- and medium-size businesses. For example, Stone is now the second-largest U.S. wholesaler for Belgium’s famed Duvel brand, and is the largest wholesaler for respected breweries such as AleSmith, Lost Abbey, Russian River, The Bruery, Avery Brewing, Bear Republic, and others.

STONE WORLD BISTRO & GARDENS

Our Stone World Bistro & Gardens offers a unique dining experience and a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At our Stone World Bistro & Gardens, we provide our fans with the opportunity to explore and enjoy Stone beer in a relaxed, intimate setting framed by our award-winning architecture. The style has been described as “industrial-becoming-organic,” and it embodies our affinity for melding organic features of reclaimed wood, stone, plant life, and fresh air with industrial elements of metal, concrete, and glass. At our World Bistro & Gardens, we serve food that complements the harmonious nature of the physical surroundings; our restaurants specialize in using locally grown, organic ingredients to create eclectic, world-inspired cuisine. As ambassadors of the craft beer movement, we proudly feature extensive arrays of exceptional craft and specialty beers from all over the world on tap and in bottles. Outstanding wine selections and house-made sodas round out our lineup of world-class artisanal beverages.

Stone World Bistro & Gardens allows us to promote awareness and appreciation of the craft brewing industry and local businesses through the numerous recreational and educational opportunities we provide to our patrons at these locations. Each month we hold Beer University classes and beer pairing events that educate guests while they sample craft beers paired with such diverse foods as sushi, cheese, and chocolates. At these events, we customarily feature foods and goods produced within our region, such as gourmet chocolates from local chocolatiers and fresh-pressed olive oils from local orchards. Our very popular Fresh Dinner series has become an icon of the slow food movement, showcasing food harvested in the morning from local farms and served that evening for dinner. During the summer, we show popular movies outdoors in our gardens, promoting a convivial and relaxed atmosphere where hundreds of local residents congregate for entertainment and socializing.

“The arrival of a craft brewery was also often one of the first signs that a neighborhood was changing. From New England to the West Coast, new businesses bubbled up around breweries, drawing young people and creating a vibrant community where families could plant roots and small businesses could thrive.” – USA Today

COMPANY GROWTH

Since our founding in 1996, Stone Brewing Co. has been the fastest-growing brewery in America. From producing 2,100 barrels in our first full year of operation to 213,000 barrels in 2013, we have had to work diligently to keep up with the strong demand for our beers. In addition to the brewery, we also operate Stone Distributing Co., a beer wholesaler in Southern California, delivering beer in 46 refrigerated trucks to more than 5,500 pubs, restaurants, hotels, markets, and grocery stores.

MILESTONESHITTING THE SCENE STONE DISTRIBUTING EXPANSION CONTINUES NEW DIGS

In 1996, Steve and Greg opened Stone’s doors with a small but eager four-deep employee base and an unflagging determination to brew beers they personally believed in.

In 2000, to further our goal to deliver exceptional beer, we established Stone Distributing. Today, that business gets over two million cases annually to market at the peak of freshness.

Stone is currently sold in 40 states, six countries and one U.S. territory, and continues to expand, quenching the thirst of numerous markets with new, innovative, high-quality beers.

After pushing beyond the limits of our original brewhouse, we built a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Escondido, Calif., in 2005, greatly increasing our capacity and brewing abilities.

STONE FARMS BEYOND THE BREWHOUSE DECADE OF DECADENCE

In 2006, we set out to elevate the dining world through beer, opening Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. Seven years later, we opened a second, larger restaurant near San Diego’s bay front.

In 2011, we took over a North San Diego County farm, from which we now supply our brewery restaurants with local, sustainable, über-fresh meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

In 2012, we added a second brewhouse, doubling our production capacity, and built an immense Stone Packaging Hall directly south of our brewery, upping our bottling and QA capabilities.

Amongst titans of biochemistry, tourism, engineering, and construction, Stone has consistently ranked among San Diego’s 100 fastest-growing businesses and is the first to do so for 10 straight years.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

We are dedicated to supporting our community and promoting a culture of social responsibility. Since Stone’s founding in 1996, we have contributed more than $3 million to charity, and in 2013 alone, we made contributions exceeding $650,000 in value to more than 400 charitable organizations!

Over the years, we have raised more than $1,750,000 on behalf of local charitable organizations just through our annual Stone Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival. We do support national and regional charities, but the majority of our philanthropic efforts are focused on local groups so that our money goes back to the community where we live and work.

In addition to direct donations, we also host numerous fundraisers and charitable events at our two restaurants and provide meeting space for local environmental, social, and community groups. Members of our ownership and management teams also take social responsibility personally and sit on the boards of several local charitable and philanthropic organizations.

“As a philanthropic leader in the community, Stone Brewing Co. has raised the bar for other local businesses to get involved in making an impact on the lives of others.” –Shelly Anguiano Figueroa, CEO
