If you’ve ever been to the brewery, you know that it’s a humble building in the middle of a nondescript industrial park where all the buildings look the same. We used to tell people “look for the grain silo out front”, but even that three story tank was hard to find because it was the […]
This is the first of our “behind the scenes” video series where we show how we make some of our beers. In this segment Tomme talks about how we make Hot Rocks Lager, a “stein bier” style lager made by super-heating chunks of granite and adding it to the wort. Enjoy!
Well, Halloween is over and it’s time to turn our attention to Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, over at Craftbeer.com, famed beer professor, author and aficionado, Randy Mosher, has a great article on beer pairings for every stage of the day long food celebration. Among Mosher’s many outstanding suggestions — Judgment Day (for the wine drinkers in the […]
As you may know, earlier this year we switched our 375ml bottles to the groovy “mini me” bottles you see in the photo here. They’ve been such a big hit that we now regularly get requests to offer other Lost Abbey beers in the half-sized containers. Problem is, we don’t have enough glass to put […]
Despite a couple of minor setbacks (an emergency root canal for our head brewer, and a hop truck break down that had it arrive 10 hours late) our Labor Day weekend brewing of High Tide fresh/wet-hopped IPA turned out to be a big success. The beer should be out by the end of the month […]
The gang from the beer show Brewdies dropped by a couple of weeks ago to talk with Tomme about beer and what makes Lost Abbey unique among craft breweries. Along the way they wandered into a discussion (and a taste or two) of Yellow Bus. The results made for an excellent episode (and the revelation […]

Serious Eats’ Maggie Hoffman is back this week with a review of “‘mostly” sour American fruit beers. We’re pleased to see three of our beers — Amorosa, Cuvee de Tomme and Red Poppy — among those earning a very respectable 4 plus out of 5 stars.

Ever since we found out that Santa is a big fan of The Lost Abbey (and that he has a vacation condo here in San Diego), we’ve been able to persuade him to turn out in the red suit to take photos with the folks attending our Christmas in July fundraiser and celebration. Of course, […]
We celebrated Christmas in July this past Saturday (July 24) with the release of barrel-aged Santa’s Little Helper and a fundraiser to benefit the Marine Corp’s Toys for Tots foundation. The weather was perfect, the bands were great, the food was outstanding and everyone who attended was fantastic! We raised an estimated $7,500 in toys […]
