Per Craft Business Daily:

Stone just had to lay off about 5% of its workforce. They are among the segment's largest employers with more than 1,100 employees.

The company's leadership has attributed the cuts to, among other things, a "recent decline in domestic growth for the category and for Stone." The company says the layoffs will help them stay competitive and profitable.

"Due to an unforeseen slowdown in our consistent growth and changes in the craft beer landscape, we have had to make the difficult decision to restructure our staff," wrote Dominic. "Unfortunately, this comes despite a year that includes the incredible accomplishments of opening two new breweries, which are ultimately expanding the availability of Stone beers and boosting the reputation of American craft beer in Europe.

Who would have guessed that opening two breweries in one year might create a capital crunch?

Yeah I do from time to time. IRS/w00t I buy least 1 a yr. They occasionally have interesting one off beers as well.

For me, Stone jumped the shark when they announced the crowdfunding for the Berlin project.

I can count on one hand how Stone beers I've purchased since then.

Bummer people have lost jobs though.

They did crowdfunding for that? What the hell. Except for now, i wouldn't see Stone so strapped for cash that they would rely on ******* kickstarter or gofundme to help build a new brewery.

It was also around that time where every new brewery was going on kickstarter and getting full funding from local derps who financed the brewery because it would be local. Kind of hard to look at all that free money and not try to grab some. It was a dick move for sure but I felt that way about every brewery that financed itself that give-us-$100-we'll-give-you-a-pint-glass kickstarter way.

why are people so angry about Stone now?

 

[boogercrack]

why are people so angry about Stone now?

Because kids these days don't respect their elders.

 

[matedog]

why are people so angry about Stone now?

Because they took a bunch of peoples' money and then laid off 5% of their company.

 

[furley]

Because kids these days don't respect their elders.

"kids these days are lazy! they don't know the first thing about hard work! they expect awards for everything! totally someone else's fault... not our generation who raised these kids... you know how it is, amiright? my generation got it right."

Oh man I have a lot to say about that. I’ll post it once it’s written.

Does anyone even think Stone is relevant anywhere anymore? And did they when they started this project? Construction overruns... yeah okay.

I love the "I take full responsibility for the failure. But the German construction industry ****** me over. Also, Berliners only like cheap, ****** beer." What a *******.

And of course ******* Brewdog is taking over the facility. Like Mikkeller, they seem to have endless capital for their mediocre products. It's baffling.

Mikkeller >>>>>>>> Brewdog

Sure, but Mikkeller is a bigger presence in my life, so it's mediocrity is more annoying.
