StoneCoast Brewing Co.

We started out in 1992 with a passion for great microbrews and conceived Sunday River Brewing Co., a very successful brewpub nestled at the base of Sunday River ski area.  We then added Stone Coast Brewing Co. in Portland in 1995 and expanded our customer base into Southern Maine.  In 2003, we built our own state of the art brewery complete with a beautiful Krones 20-head filler bottling and labeling system.  In 2004 we added a five-head Cask Brewing Systems canning machine, becoming one of the first microbreweries in the country to can beer.  We have expanded our customer base into Massachusetts and New York thanks to our bottled product and are now in the process of expanding into the rest of New England.
