CORONADO BREWING’S HIGHLY RATED STUPID STOUT IS BACK

 

Launching during San Diego Beer Week as part of Coronado’s limited-release Crown Series

 

CORONADO, CA  — November 12, 2015 — There’s no doubt, it’s the season of the stout. With their final Crown Series offering of 2015, Coronado Brewing Company is rounding out the year with a bang and launching Stupid Stout. This Imperial Stout is worth its weight in gold and has garnered a 97 overall score on RateBeer. Stupid Stout delivers defined, robust, chocolaty flavors with a hint of hop freshness. As the beer ages, these big flavors mellow, leaving a smooth and balanced sipper. This makes it the perfect beer to warm up with as the winter cold sets in.

About Coronado Brewing Company:
In 1996, when craft beer was still a foreign term and San Diego County was home to only a handful of breweries, the Chapman brothers Ron and Rick opened a brewpub in their hometown of Coronado.

They began distributing their beers throughout the local market, and today you can find Coronado beers in 19 states across the US and ten countries. In addition to their long established pub in Coronado, the company opened a tasting room inside their newly built San Diego production facility in early 2013.  The past year has been very rewarding for the brewery; they opened their new tasting room and restaurant in Imperial Beach, CA.  Winning Champion Mid Size Brewery and Brewmaster at World Beer Cup in Denver awarded them with one of the most prestigious distinctions in the industry.

Announcing Brand Refresh

CORONADO BREWING ANNOUNCES BRAND REFRESH, WELCOMES CANS TO LINEUP

 

Coastal-inspired brand evolution includes updated logo, tagline and packaging

 

CORONADO, Calif. – November 11, 2015 – Coronado Brewing Company has announced its new brand evolution, as the craft brewery is poised to enter its twentieth year. With a desire for a more focused and consistent brand foundation, the World Beer Cup champion turned to another San Diego-based company to lead the effort-branding agency MiresBall.

 

The MiresBall team created a cleaner look and feel, embracing the craft brewery’s passion for family, friends and creating exceptional, approachable beer. A new tagline, Stay Coastal, references Coronado Brewing’s rich history in Coronado, and the relaxed state of mind that resonates with both locals and fans worldwide. The Coronado mermaid, slightly updated, remains an iconic figure at the core of the brand. Other new elements include the logo, fonts, packaging hierarchy and color scheme.

                                                                                                                                                                    

“The goal was to be more aligned across the brand’s portfolio as we move globally,” said Heather Dueitt, marketing manager at Coronado Brewing Company. “The packaging design for the launch of our new cans offered a great opportunity to dive deeper into our coastal story,” continued Dueitt. “The team at MiresBall helped us focus on who we are as a SoCal-style, family-owned and -operated brewery. Founders Rick and Ron Chapman were also heavily involved throughout the branding process.”

 

“Coronado Brewing has built a soulful legacy around their delicious beer, great food, and coastal lifestyle – all captured in the spirit of the mermaid,” said Scott Mires, partner and creative director at MiresBall. “Our job was to refine and amplify that brand goodness, and to share their coastal calling with a new national and international craft audience.”

 

Over the next sixteen months, Coronado Brewing will phase in the new packaging, debuting cans in March and new seasonal bottles in May. The company will roll out the new look and feel through 2016, with the goal of completing the transition by the beginning of 2017.

  

About Coronado Brewing Company: In 1996, when craft beer was still a foreign term and San Diego County was home to only a handful of breweries, the Chapman brothers Ron and Rick opened a brewpub in their hometown of Coronado. Today CBC stays true to their San Diego roots, brewing abundantly hoppy West Coast-style ales, which are available today in nineteen US states and ten countries. In addition to the long-established pub in Coronado, the company opened a tasting room inside their newly built San Diego production facility in early 2013, and a tasting room and restaurant in Imperial Beach, California in 2014. Coronado Brewing Company was honored in 2014 with one of the brewing industry’s most prestigious awards-World Beer Cup Champion Brewery and Brewmaster for a Mid-size Brewing Company.

CORONADO BREWING ADDS TANKS AND CANS IN RECENT MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION PLAN

CORONADO BREWING ADDS TANKS AND CANS IN RECENT MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION PLAN

Significant Capacity Increase and Canning Line in the Works at CBC

 

CORONADO, CA  — September 8 — Coronado Brewing has been hard at work the last few months to increase the efficiency and capacity of their brewery. The current World Beer Cup Champion brewery will be expanding its capacity to 65,000 barrels thanks to the multi-million dollar renovation plan including the recent addition of four 240-barrel fermenters at the end of August. In addition to the fermenters, the brewery has been adding and upgrading some key components to the brewery to help increase efficiency.

 

The brewery has recently secured an adjacent building at their San Diego brewery location.   They plan to use the building for dry storage and office space starting in September. The future use of the building is still open to a variety of options, one being a new brew house.

 

Some of the more exciting news to announce is that Coronado will begin canning in early 2016. They hope to have the canning line in place by the end of the year.

 

“We have been growing at a very high rate the last few years, it was time for us to make some big changes to the brewery to help us maintain the pace” said Brandon Richards, vice president of sales and marketing. “We have been trying to find more space in the brewery to allow us to add a canning line and that was accomplished.”

 

It has been another great year for Coronado Brewing. Sales have been growing at 30% through August and California continues to lead the way for that growth. “We can attribute a lot of our success in 2015 to our growth in the chains” said Richards. The brewery has recently picked up key business in California, Michigan and North Carolina.
