SD Beer Week

| November 6, 2012

Sweet naked baby DOBO!

We’re knee deep in the San Diego Beer Week hot tub, ready to drop the towel and take a seat right in front of the bubbly jets. If you’re look for somewhere to park your backside for the beer week extravaganza, look no further than right next to us — we’ve got an event and great beer pouring everyday.

Tuesday November 6th

  • Lost Abbey Beer Dinner @ Churchills Pub & Grille 7pm sold out
  • Lost Abbey Flight Night @ Sol Markets  – 4pm-9pm
    • Visit David Johnson, our Director of Distribution, and sip on some special Lost Abbey delights. (if you don’t know David, you should. If you’ve ever had our beer anywhere but in the tasting room, he’s the dude that made it happen. You owe him, big time.)

Local Radio Thinks We’re the Best

| November 10, 2011

Being here in San Diego, we’re chocked full of great craft breweries. So many in fact that it’s not unusual to see and members of the local brewing community on TV and the radio.

What is unusual, however, is to be driving to work listening to the radio when suddenly the people on air are talking about you (or at least your brewery) being the best in the county — which is exactly what happened to us this morning.

The following is an on air conversation between KPRi 102.1 FM radio personalities Madison and Pamela Howe, and San Diego local beer connoisseur, Robbert Jeffords regarding San Diego Beer Week. Guess who they all agreed as the best brewery in San Diego?
