You’re probably familiar with our Head Brewer, Mitch Steele. When you think of Mitch, you may think, “Being the Head brewer at Stone Brewing Co. must be a pretty sweet deal. I bet that guy just dances around in the beer version of Candyland all day, rolling in hop bales and brewing up whatever he feels like.”

Here at Stone, I get the privilege of working on some really fun, random projects. Greg will turn to me and say something like, "What if we put a 17 foot tall gargoyle into the inside wall of the Bistro?"

Before we even tell you what these books are about, you should…
