History
The Stone & Wood Brewing Co. was established in 2008 by Jamie Cook, Brad Rogers and Ross Jurisich, all of whom previously worked at Carlton & United Breweries. They constructed their first 25-hectolitre brewery in Byron Bay.
In 2012 Cook, Rogers and Jurisich bought back the 20 per cent share of its business held by Lion (a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirin), following that company's takeover of Little World Beverages.
In 2014 the company opened a second 50-hectolitre brewery in Murwillumbah. The company won the 'Regional Award' at the 2014 Telstra NSW Business Awards.
In 2021 Stone & Wood parent Fermentum reached an agreement for a 100% sale to Kirin subsidiary Lion (Australia) handing custodianship of the Fermentum family of brands to Lion, subject to regulatory approvals. The Fermentum brands include Stone & Wood Brewing, Two Birds Brewing and Fixation Brewing Company.
