  • Stonecloud Brewery Tour

    Join us as we go behind the scenes of Stillwater’s newest craft brewery to learn the ins and outs of starting a successful and tasteful business. Stonecloud's name draws inspiration from the huge skies where endless mountains melt into clouds on the horizon. This might seem odd considering the fact that we are smack in the middle of the flatlands in Oklahoma City, but our founder Joel Irby (an Oklahoma native) spent 10 years perfecting his brewing craft at breweries in Boulder, Colorado. The urge eventually hit to open up his own spot, and with Oklahoma City’s recent growth and proximity to family it was the perfect place to make this dream a reality. The Oklahoma City location has been opened since 2017 and Stonecloud recently opened in Stillwater in June 2022.
