San Diego, CA - July 27, 2016 -
Coronado
Brewing Company is celebrating 20 years of crafting award-winning
beers, and now the company is taking a major step forward in planning
for the future. The company recently announced the appointment of two
chief operating officers to facilitate growth while laying the long-term
foundation of independent ownership. "As we continue to grow, and
strive to remain independent, we believe it is important to put key
people in place who can take the company forward for the foreseeable
future," said Ron Chapman, CEO, Coronado Brewing Company. "As my brother
and I think about the next five to ten years, we want to be able to
hand over the reins knowing we have the right team in place to keep our
vision alive."
As
the family-owned company enters its second decade of operations, it
promotes two internal employees to the shared COO role; Brandon Richards
and Kasey Chapman will focus on brewery and retail operations,
respectively. Kasey currently oversees the company's retail facilities,
including the original brewpub in Coronado, brewery and tasting room in
San Diego, and the newly opened fast-casual location in Imperial Beach.
Kasey has been with the company for 15 years and will be vital in
maintaining a consistent vision as the company's retail operations
evolve. "Kasey has been with us from very early on; as we plan for the
future, having someone in the family with their head in the business was
very important for us," said Chapman.
Brandon
Richards joined the Coronado family in 2012; he has been instrumental
in developing a cohesive sales strategy, as well as implementing the
recent brand refresh. "Brandon has been an important addition to the
Coronado Brewing family; his background in a family business combined
with his previous tenure in the industry has been tremendously valuable
to us," said Chapman. Brandon will now assume strategic oversight of
brewery operations while continuing to lead Sales and Marketing.
"Working with the Chapman family has been fantastic," said Richards.
"I'm so proud to be part of the Coronado family. Rick and Ron have
created an amazing environment for their employees; we challenge each
other every day to do better and I'm excited for what the future holds,"
said Richards.
The
changes in roles will be effectively immediately. The remaining
executive team at Coronado Brewing Company include Ron Chapman, CEO;
Rick Chapman, President; and J.D. Douglas, CFO. Stay Coastal. Cheers.
About Coronado Brewing Company
In
1996, when craft beer was still a foreign term and San Diego County was
home to only a handful of breweries, the Chapman brothers Ron and Rick
opened a brewpub in their hometown of Coronado. Today CBC stays true to
their San Diego roots, brewing abundantly hoppy West Coast-style ales,
which are available today in 18 US states and twelve countries. In
addition to the long-established pub in Coronado, the company opened a
tasting room inside their newly built San Diego production facility in
early 2013, and a tasting room and restaurant in Imperial Beach,
California in 2014. Coronado Brewing Company was honored in 2014 with
one of the brewing industry's most prestigious awards-World Beer Cup
Champion Brewery and Brewmaster for a Mid-size Brewing Company.
