GM! Here's our latest "sticker week" vid starring @LING_HAUS hand holding a sticker pack and my very own iPad case and phone wallet that rock stickers with Pskydin, Va, Torq and Quanndamm. Pick up your own @ https://t.co/icFs6Cj8U3. @StoneGreg

I’m so glad that I grew up in a time when we didn’t know alcohol was so bad for us (even when consumed moderately and responsibly).

There’s enough Biston Beast for everyone!

Life experiences like that are the kind of wealth I care about creating: Building platforms. Lifting others. Sharing. DIYing. Leaving behind more than I take. That’s just who I am. Never gonna be for everyone — and that’s perfectly OK. But if this means something to you, we

I’ve never chased easy wins. I’ve chased meaningful ones. Each project I’ve built has been a platform for others to find their voice — from breweries to rehearsal rooms to this new digital frontier. I don’t need any more recognition, nor press…I’ve gotten plenty (and mostly

Metal Warrior isn’t about hype — it’s about building a world where heavy music, art, and Web3 collide in ways that empower creators. The $METAL coin matters — because when it succeeds, the community succeeds.

I favor digging in the dirt & bare feet in the grass over fancy clothes, living by the sun over flashy watches, and riding a bicycle over getting chauffeured. It’s who I am. I’ve learned I’m happier stepping aside and letting others chase those things — if that’s what drives

And now, with Metal Warrior, bringing metal music and Web3 together — a place where creativity and community drive the success of everyone involved. Money’s just a tool to make things like that happen.

I retired from Stone in September 2022. Before and since then, I’ve focused on creating infrastructure for others to succeed. Giving musicians a space to create. Helping bring craft beer to the people. Sharing my own inspirations and paying forward over the years to help others

As for Stone Brewing — the story’s well known: ✅ One of the 10 largest craft breweries in the U.S. ✅ Co-creator of the West Coast Style IPA ✅ Helped revive beer garden culture ✅ Built two destination restaurants in San Diego County ✅ Brewed unapologetically bold beers

The studios have been going strong for decades, and easily tens of thousands of musicians have rehearsed there — just about every name you can think of has written songs there that you sing along to every day. That’s legacy that can never be erased.

Funny twist: I first met Steve in 1990 — his band rehearsed at my studios. I also met my Metal Warrior musical partner, Keri Kelli, for the first time in the early ’90s. Both rehearsed there back in the day.

I ended up managing Life, Sex & Death through one of the biggest label bidding wars of the era. Eventually they signed with Warner Bros — and I pivoted toward my other true calling: craft beer. That’s when I co-founded Stone Brewing with Steve Wagner in 1996.

After college I built a little recording studio and started songwriting. When that didn’t pay the bills, I leaned into band management. I saw an opportunity: LA needed better rehearsal spaces. So I founded Downtown Rehearsal, which operated for 36 years! Oh that early 90’s

I’ve always chased the door that led to travel — and I’ve walked through a lot of them. 🌍 58 countries and counting. Music has been my heartbeat since high school. I studied at the Guitar Institute of Technology, then graduated in Business from USC.

The last new car I bought was in 2012 because I wanted to be an early EV adopter. I’m personally never buying a new car — or an internal combustion car — again. (OK, unless it’s a Nash Metropolitan… always thought those were so f’n cool.) I’d rather make my money work for me

I don’t aspire to private jets. You won’t see that on my socials (well… except those two times Metallica invited me on theirs. I wasn’t passing that one up 🤘). I don’t buy sports cars — for me they’re a waste of money (if that’s what you’re into, go for it).

For clarity: I am NOT a billionaire. Sure, there was a time I was worth more than a billion on paper. I could’ve cashed out — but that wasn’t my goal. My goal was to do meaningful work. Some call that foolish. Let ’em. I don’t care. I’m doing just fine.

🧵 About Me — Greg Koch Some people have been calling me a billionaire. That’s not true — nor do I particularly wish it was. I care about building things that matter. Success can be measured in many ways that aren’t just money (though I get it can be a relevant yardstick to
