The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.: Liquid Lore, Epic Recipes, and Unabashed Arrogance
Aug 25th
The Craft of Stone Brewing Co. by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner with Randy Clemens
It is with great pride that I announce the publication of my next book, The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.: Liquid Lore, Epic Recipes, and Unabashed Arrogance, gracing bookstore shelves on September 27, 2011. Not long after completing the manuscript for my first book (The Sriracha Cookbook: 50 “Rooster Sauce” Recipes That Pack a Punch), I started thinking about what on earth I wanted to do next. My answer? I wanted to write about one of my favorite craft breweries: Stone Brewing Co.
I worked tirelessly one evening back in January 2010, drawing up a completely unsolicited pitch email to Stone’s (in)famous CEO, Greg Koch, finally sending it off at 2:55am, telling myself I’d follow up if I hadn’t heard back within two weeks. Naturally, you can imagine my surprise waking up to a personal reply in my inbox at 6:53am!
Greg and I emailed back in forth a few times, coincidentally bumped into each other at a food industry trade show in San Francisco, and finally set up a meeting down at the brewery proper. I’d honed my pitch and expanded it to encompass a wide spectrum of topics–the history of beer and how it’s made, the history of Stone, its beers, and how it has grown, a food pairing primer, recipes from the award-winning Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, as well as never before published homebrew formulas for some of Stone’s most prized beers.

So, this may just be the answer to my less-than-frequent blog posts. I read an awful lot of articles about food, whether stumbling on them organically, or finding them via my friends on Facebook, Twitter, and the like. Every Friday, I’ll post the most interesting items I find for your approval, and maybe a book recommend if I’m in the middle of one. Read on!

The Sriracha Cookbook by Randy Clemens
Well, it’s official! My first cookbook is on its way! Although it won’t be available until January 2011, The Sriracha Cookbook: 50 “Rooster Sauce” Recipes that Pack a Punch
It has been an amazing journey, and I couldn’t be happier with the project as a whole. I’m so excited to have seen this to fruition, and am so thankful for all my friends and family that have supported me along the way. You rock!
Anyway, in the weeks leading up to The Sriracha Cookbook ‘s release and the months thereafter, I will be putting together plenty of events and hopefully a few cool dinners with my chef buddies at some of my favorite restaurants. Please do keep your eyes locked on TheSrirachaCookbook.com for more details as they unfold.
