Welcome To The Lost Abbey...

In the beginning there was Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They were told not to eat the fruit from the apple tree.They were tempted by the serpent and made a "choice" to eat from the tree. Their actions were not preordained but rather the actions of beings with free will. At every fork in the road, there are signs marking the struggle of Good vs. Evil. The Lost Abbey was imagined as part of a crusade in this ongoing story of Good vs. Evil beer. Everywhere we turn these days, there is a battle being waged between those who make good beer and those who make evil beer.

Track Repeat Weekend at The Lost Abbey

Posted By on May 22, 2013

TracksOnRepeat

With Summer right around the corner, we thought we’d relax this weekend and set some “Tracks” on repeat! Starting Saturday (11:30am) at The Lost Abbey Tasting Room, we’ll be putting tracks 4 through 9 and 11 through 13 into our Vintage case for purchase. The bottles will be available on a first come first serve basis and must be consumed on-site.

Track 4 – Sympathy for the Devil - black blended beer comprised of two barrels from the one of the base components from 2011?s Veritas 009, and two barrels of Hot Rocks aged in French Oak red wine barrels with their own unique Brettanomyces.

Track 5 – Shout at the Devil - a blend of two fruit beers — Red Poppy and Framboise de Amorosa bumped with additional fruits and sent to rest in French Oak prior to bottling.

Track 6 – Highway to Hell - blend of brandy barrel-aged Serpent’s Stout and bourbon barrel-aged Angel’s Share (v. 2009), this one is dark and leathery with plenty of wood notes accented by hints of vanilla.

Track 7 – Devil Inside - A remixed track, Track 7 is Veritas 006 blended with raspberries, cherries and a touch of mandarin orange zest.

Track 8 – Number of the Beast - A base of Judgment Day aged in freshly emptied bourbon barrels then spiked with liberal additions of cinnamon stick and dried chili pepper.

Track 9 – Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door - A remixed track, Track 9 is Cuvee de Tomme bumped first with currants and then bumped again with extra Brettanomyces.

Track 11 – Devil Went Down to Georgia - Angel’s Share sent to fresh Heaven Hill whiskey barrels for 9 months, spiked with fresh peaches and Black Tea and a touch of Brettanomyces

Track 12 – Heaven and Hell - A non-fruited sour made from a blend of Avant Garde, and unreleased sour brown and Gift of the Magi aged in oak barrels.

Track 13 – Message in a Bottle - A new barleywine brewed specifically for this Track, the base was sent to freshly emptied cognac barrels and aged with sour cherries and orange zest.

Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale Makes Its Return!

Posted By on April 25, 2013

PORT BREWING AND THE LOST ABBEY CELEBRATES ITS 7TH ANNIVERSARY

A celebration to commemorate 7 years will take place May 4th at The Lost Abbey/Port Brewing Tasting Room in Southern California.

The crusade The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing embarked on to fight the good fight and make amazing beer, turns seven on May 4th, 2013. To celebrate the milestone and the joys of the journey, we’ll be hosting a two-session Anniversary Party at The Lost Abbey/ Port Brewing Tasting Room in San Marcos, CA (155 Mata Way).


The guest of honor at the party will be the massively hoppy 7th iteration of Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale. Brewed with Columbus, Amarillo and Simcoe and dry-hopped with Columbus, Amarillo and Citra (a new addition this year) hops, Anniversary Ale has pleasant tones of citrus and pine, a screaming hops presence and just enough malt character to add a hint of sweetness. Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale comes in at 10% ABV and will be available at the brewery on-draft and through distribution on-draft and 22oz bottles later this month.

Additionally, the Anniversary Party will feature special taps of Framboise de Amorosa (Raspberry Sour & American-Style Sour silver medal award-winner at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival), Deliverance (a blend of Bourbon barrel-aged Serpents Stout and Brandy barrel-aged Angel’s Share), Red Poppy (Flanders Red Ale with sour cherries) and Angel’s Share (Bourbon barrel-aged English-style Barleywine).

“Our Anniversary Party is one of the highlights for us each year” said Director of Brewing Operations Tomme Arthur. “It gives us a chance to celebrate our successes with our most passionate fans”.

Posted By on April 25, 2013

Thursday’s are our favorite! We get to start thinking about the weekend and what we’re going to do, what we’re going to eat and most importantly, what we’re going to drink!

We’re going to start posting some of our favorite food/beer combos to help make those decisions easier… this week we paired a feta/fruit salad, Roquefort Cheese and Pepperoni Hot Pocket… Cheers!
