Driver I

About Stone Distributing Co.

Stone Distributing (SDC) was founded in the spirit of craft camaraderie. When no distributor in the late 90s would accept Stone’s hop-forward beers, the brewery self-distributed and brought along other craft brands as well to form an impressive portfolio for Southern California. More than two decades later, SDC is now among the largest independent distributors of specialty beverages in the country. In 2022, SDC became a standalone distributor, independent of Stone Brewing Co.

We are known for our investment in growing brands within a diverse portfolio including craft beer, hard kombucha, hard tea, non-alcoholic beverages and more. SDC operates warehouses in San Marcos, CA and Downey, CA and services nearly all Southern California. We’ve enjoyed an incredible 25+ years of following our passion, and we are in search of people who are also passionate about pursuing their craft to join Stone Distributing.
