Societe Brewing Company

Coronado Brewing and Societe Brewing, two of San Diego’s most beloved breweries, have teamed up to create The Mariner, a West Coast Double IPA brewed with El Dorado, Simcoe, and Citra hops.

Societe Brewing Company is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this June, a testament to the small independently-owned brewery’s dedication to the craft.

The California beer industry is still in a period of recovery, as total beer volume in the state declined in 2021 for the fourth consecutive year (-1.6%), Chris Shepard, senior editor of Craft Brew News at Beer Marketers’ Insights (BMI), said in his keynote speech last week, kicking off the California Craft Brewers Association’s (CCBA’s) members conference in San Diego.

Societe Brewing is expanding its distribution footprint into Northern California, beginning April 11. The San Diego, California-based brewery now distributes in all key California markets through “100% independent distributors,” Societe founder and CEO Doug Constantiner announced Monday during the California Craft Brewers Association (CCBA) Members Conference.

Available starting in March, San Diego-based Societe Brewing has launched the newest addition to its core lineup, Bulbous Flowers, a 7% ABV Hazy IPA.

Societe Brewing more than doubled its sales in 2021, increasing +120% vs. 2020.

Thought you could pound five craft IPAs daily in quarantine, but the deliciously weighty bev got you, literally, down? Societe Brewing Company comes in with a new beer as surprising as its now classic Session IPA, The Coachman, that earned big accolades straight out the gate.

Stone Distributing welcomes two new partners to its portfolio – arguably the best portfolio of independent craft beverages in the country. Societe Brewing has begun distribution with Stone, bringing with it a diverse set of hoppy ales including its best seller The Pupil, Belgian-inspired brews, lagers, dark beers and wine-barrel aged sours. And Los Angeles – based Jiant joins the portfolio as well with its unique line of shelf-stable organic, gluten-free hard kombucha.

San Diego-based Societe Brewing is moving wholesaler networks in California. Effective January 4, Societe’s offerings will be distributed by Stone Distributing throughout Southern California, Brewbound has learned.

When California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order and shut down on-premise bars and restaurants to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March, 92% of San Diego-based Societe Brewing’s business was draft beer. The shutdown stopped the 1,000 tap handles pouring Societe’s beer at 700 San Diego restaurants and bars from flowing. Societe, like so many other small craft breweries, was left scrambling to figure out how to continue on.

Societe Brewing co-founder and CEO Douglas Constantiner discusses the San Diego craft brewery’s transformational year on the first episode of the Brewbound Podcast’s second season.

After seven years of self-distribution, Kearny Mesa-based Societe Brewing Company has partnered with Scout Distribution—a fast-growing San Diego-based distributor of craft beer, wine, hard kombucha and hard cider—to deliver its award-winning portfolio of beers throughout San Diego County.

Collaboration beers bring like-minded brewers together, but few so exactingly embody this truism as Stone Brewing’s new draft-only offering: Societe / Stone The Skedaddler IPA.

While some breweries release new beers at such a rapid pace their patrons can barely keep up, Societe Brewing Company marches to the beat of its own drummer—a much slower beat. Long-time offerings are what primarily draw fans to (and back to) the San Diego brewery, with new beers debuting one-to-four times per year, making last weekend’s debut of a whopping five new beers even more special.
