In 2012, The Lost Abbey received the Best of Show trophy at the San Diego International Beer Competition for Carnevale Ale. In celebration, we had each brewer spend a day with the trophy. From surfing and yoga to finding a new drinking buddy, The Best of Show trophy had quite a year with The Lost Abbey crew. With the festival returning again next weekend (June 21-23) we thought now was the perfect time to showcase its adventures.

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”.

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!

Celebrate our 7th birthday with beer, food and a few of our closest friends!

To celebrate our 7^th year of existence, we’re going back to our roots… Long gone are the anniversary parties that were focused on pony rides and balloon animals. We’re not going to bore you with lame card tricks and annoying roaming magicians looking for tips. (though last year’s magician has yet to re-appear from his disappearing act)

This year’s 7^th Anniversary party is all about GOOD BEER. We’re filling every one of our taps with beers both new and properly aged. We’re also bringing back our “Vintage Case” and filling that to the brim with some tasty “tracks”… umm… we mean beers… Tasty beers.

We also thought we’d compliment this awesome selection of beer with four of our favorite food trucks! Devilicious, Red Oven Artisanal Pizza, Hoangies and Oscar’s Meat Pies.  Each truck will have a dish paired with a select Lost Abbey or Port beers put together by our “Goddess of Paring”, Gwen.

So there you have it! Beer, Food, Friends…and we’ll even throw in some face painting… It’s our party and we’ll paint our face if we want to!

This will be a ticketed event; tickets will go on sale on 4/20 at 10am at www.lostabbey.com. They’re $20 per person and $25 day of… Though we’ve never actually had any tickets available on the day of, just an FYI.

Hope to see you there!

To celebrate the fact that it’s staying light out later, even though we still feel like we’re losing an hour of sleep, our Hungry Hump Day Happy Hour will now begin at 4pm every Wednesday at the Port Brewing and Lost Abbey Tasting Room! With amazing food trucks stopping by every week, it’s the perfect chance to pair good food with good beer and celebrate getting over the hump.
