Now Hiring - Retail Sales Field Sales Support - Rancho Cucamonga / Redlands / Upland in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

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 specialty and craft brands as well. It is now among the largest independent distributors of craft-only beverages in the country. SDC became a standalone distributor, independent of Stone Brewing in 2022. The distributor is known for its investment in growing brands within a diverse portfolio including craft beer, hard kombucha, hard seltzers, hard coffee and more. SDC operates warehouses in San Marcos, CA and Downey, CA and services nearly all of Southern California. We’ve enjoyed an incredible 23 years of following our passion, and we are in search of people who are also passionate about pursuing their craft to join Stone Distributing.
