Stone Brewing Social Mixer: Farewell to the Escondido Bistro & Gardens! 🍻🌿

Join us for one last hurrah at the iconic Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido!

As many in the local beer community know, the Escondido campus is winding down its operations before permanently closing. Following the sale of the Stone brand, production is shifting out of the city and parent company Sapporo USA is closing the Escondido bistro and brewery facilities. While it’s the end of a historic 20-year chapter for North County craft beer, we want to give this legendary 1-acre beer garden the epic send-off it deserves!

Whether you’re a long-time regular or have always meant to check out the stunning gardens, come raise a glass with us for an evening of great drinks, delicious eats, and awesome conversation.

🎲 Games Welcome!
We’ll be hanging out in the outdoor beer garden area. If you have any fun card games or portable tabletop games (think Exploding Kittens, Uno, Codenames, or Cards Against Humanity), please bring them along!

🍺 Food & Drink Favorites
Come hungry (and thirsty)—the Escondido Bistro is still serving up its famous farm-to-table menu and bold brews:

Iconic Beers: Grab a pint of classic Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone IPA, or try one of their rotating, limited-release taproom specialties before they're gone.
Popular Bites: Don't miss the Stone Bavarian Soft Pretzel (served with beer cheese and stone-ground mustard), Duck Fat Fries, or their iconic Yellowfin Ahi Poke Tacos. They also have plenty of solid vegetarian and vegan options!

📱 Easy Ordering & Payment
No stress about splitting the bill! Ordering is super easy—just scan the QR code at our table with your phone to order and pay for your own food and drinks directly using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit card. Everything gets delivered right to our spot while everyone keeps their tabs completely separate.

🚗 Parking & Arrival Info

Parking: Free, spacious parking is available right in the main lot off Citracado Parkway.
Rideshare: If you plan on taking full advantage of the tap list, rideshare drop-off (Uber/Lyft) is super convenient right in front of the main entrance.
Finding the Group: Look for our meetup host out in the outdoor garden area (keep an eye on the comments section on the day of the event for exact table numbers/location updates once we stake out a spot).

Let's raise one last toast to the location that helped put San Diego craft beer on the map. See you there! 🙌✨
