CSI Testimonial

"Sustainble development has always been a core value of Stone Brewing Co's business perspective; from the all-natural ingredients in its acclaimed beers to the emphasis on local, organically produced food on the menu to the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. ln line with this philosophy, installing a photovoltaic solar system on the rooftop seemed like the obvious next step. Stone Brewing is very proud to announce the new 276.9 kW system supplies the brewery with the significant portion of about 40% of its total electrical power. This saves a considerable sum of money each month! And the hefty rebate checks received are just the icing on the cake."
