Sapporo-Stone Brewing has appointed Zach Keeling to the role of Chief Executive Officer of the 12th largest brewery in the U.S.* Keeling has served as Interim CEO for Sapporo-Stone since January 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his previous roles with the company as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Strategy, Keeling played a key role in developing Sapporo-Stone\u2019s integrated long-term strategic plans. His leadership style, financial acumen and commercial lens have and will continue to drive the business forward. Keeling has a degree in Accounting from Miami University (OH) and an M.B.A from Harvard University.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSapporo-Stone is on an impressive trajectory, and I\u2019m honored to lead this talented team toward becoming a top 10 brewery by volume in the U.S.,\u201d expressed Keeling. \u201cI\u2019m committed to driving our growth while prioritizing people and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sapporo-Stone Brewing employs 850 people. It operates breweries in Escondido, CA and Richmond, VA plus two\u00a0Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens<\/a>\u00a0and five Stone Brewing Tap Rooms. Sapporo-Stone\u2019s craft-meets-import portfolio has demonstrated growth over the last year. Sapporo is the number one selling Asian beer brand in the U.S., with sales up +14.6%, outpacing the growth of the Import category, +9.2%.** Most of this growth is attributed to its flagship Sapporo Premium. Stone\u2019s best sellers include the\u00a0Stone Delicious IPA<\/a>\u00a0family of beers,\u00a0Stone IPA<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager<\/a>. These Stone core brands are also growing, up 12.5%***\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keeling\u2019s appointment to CEO comes just after Sapporo-Stone unveiled completion of the first phase of its $60 Million expansion. The expansion will allow for the brewing of all Sapporo beers at its Escondido, CA and Richmond, VA breweries, doubling capacity to about 700,000 barrels a year. The brewing of Sapporo beers at both breweries is now underway and by late summer, all production of Sapporo beers will have moved from Canada and Asia to the U.S. \u00a0<\/p>\n
