Stone Brewing Sues MillerCoors for Deceptive Use of the STONE® Brand

ESCONDIDO, CA (February 12, 2018) – Today Stone Brewing filed suit to defend its iconic STONE® brand against one of the world’s largest beer conglomerates, MillerCoors.  Stone, known for being the antithesis to “Big Beer,” has long waved a flag of bold character, individualism and independence. The suit alleges that MillerCoors is trying to rebrand its Colorado Rockies-themed “Keystone” beer as “STONE.”  The craft beer pioneer feels that it has no choice but to combat MillerCoors’ aggressive marketing moves, which abandon Keystone’s own heritage by falsely associating with the one true STONE®.

It’s tough to describe the feeling we get when we come across a new beer. It happens to us quite a bit; we’re fortunate enough to get to try a lot of new beers. And yet, every new beer that comes across our desks is so full of promise and hope; it’s like we’re holding 12 ounces of Christmas every single time. Of course, not every beer lives up to that sense of hope.

Stone Brewing wants Germany, the land of Oktoberfest, to like American craft beers

When Stone Brewing released in 1997 its well-known Arrogant Bastard Ale, it was a hoppy revolt against an American beer market defined by bland corporate lagers. Now, thanks to craft brewers like Stone, it’s easy to find once obscure beers, from India pale ales to smoked porters, in dive bars and supermarket shelves alike.

Gotta be honest here, folks. Stone Brewing Berlin World Bistro and Gardens looks like the duck’s nuts, and we’re ready to cross the pond to pound some beers in Berlin. It’s so enormous. We could probably spend a week just exploring its beer selection. The brewery itself is producing beer for 18 different countries (so far), but the bar and restaurant have a total of 75 beers on tap, which is the largest beer selection in all of Germany.
