DC Tasting Crashers - Part One [VIDEO]
Don't you hate it when you people show up uninvited to a party? They eat all the food, irritate your friends, and they don't even bring any good booze. Well, that very thing happened to Chris and Matt of Washington DC after they made the mistake of posting that they were hosting a Lost Abbey tasting party a couple of weeks ago. Check out the video:DC Tasting Crashers - Part 1 from The Lost Abbey on Vimeo.The forums that got this rolling:ONETWOTHREE
Mo' Betta Bretta
A long time ago (well, 2004) in a Pizza Port not so far away (Solana Beach, CA), Tomme Arthur and New Belgium’s Peter Bouckaert brewed an all Brettanomyces beer they called Mo’ Betta Bretta.In April of this year Peter flew from Colorado and the two joined forces once again — this time at The Lost Abbey — to do a refresh of that beer. Below is a video of what happened that day. The beer was released at the brewery on June 9th and should be hitting shelves near you the week of the June 18th.
