Not since the marketing blitz that preceded the lame Jay Leno Show have I been bombarded with as many messages touting the launch of Stone beer in Chicago. The San Diego-based brewery has been putting on special events, beer dinners and tastings for the past few days, part of this week’s Craft Brewer’s Conference. I spoke with Stone’s C.E.O. and Co-Founder, Greg Koch, about the launch of his brand here, and he previewed beer dinners going on tonight and tomorrow.
