“The handling of beer during the distribution process is critically important,” said Stone CEO Greg Koch in a news release. “It’s with this philosophy in mind that Maui Brewing and Stone Brewing came together to develop a company that guarantees an incredible selection of fresh craft beers and ciders to Maui.”
