Visiting Standing Stone Brewing in Ashland, OR

I recently posted an article on MustHaveMenus about the Standing Stone Brewing Company in Ashland, Oregon, and how they are succeeding in these down economic times. Alex Amarotico, Standing Stone's owner, was kind enough to sit down with me for an hour and discuss marketing, sustainability, connecting with the community and more. He even treated me to a sampler tray of Standing Stone's eight hand-made ales. My favorite, the India Pale Ale, was so good I had to stop myself from ordering another pint. I had to go back to work, after all.

In the next week or so, I'll also be posting an article on Standing Stone's commitment to sustainable practices. They have even been named #28 in Oregon's 100 Best Green Companies by Oregon Business. And I am sure I'll post a few odds and ends that I learned from Alex and Standing Stone's business model. Stay tuned!
