Lost Abbey / Port Brewing 5th Anniversary Party
Celebrate our 5th Birthday with food, live music and new beer releases!
Come party with Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey and celebrate our 5th Anniversary on Saturday May 14, 2011.
Like last year we'll be breaking the party into two sessions and limiting the number of guests so everyone can relax and enjoy themselves.Items on tap for our daylong festivities include specialty kegs from the barrel archives, bottled beer releases, special barrelhouse tours, amazing street food from our in-house chefs, and live music from our two special guests -- Kiera and the Lesbians and The Professors.
Brews, Food, Tours and Entertainment
Brews: Following our anniversary tradition, not only will we be loading all our taps with the latest and greatest of our beers, but we'll be releasing Anniversary -- the fifth release of our hoppy, strong pale ale from the Port Brewing side of the house.DOBO Tomme Arthur will also be delving into the storied Lost Abbey barrel and bottle archives to give guests an opportunity to sample rare brews from the past half-decade. (Look for special bottles, and secret taps all day long!)
Food:For those of you who enjoy five star food, this year chef Jason Danderand will be heading the outdoor kitchen and barbequing, steaming, smoking, broiling and baking his way through a stunning assortment of street foods with a unique "San Diego" culinary spin.Special Tours:Lead Brewer and Keeper of the Barrels, Ryan Fields, and our new QAD, Gwen Conlley (née Flying Dog), will be hosting tours of our famous barrelhouse, giving guests an opportunity to see where our beers await the angels on high (and possibly learn a few of the secrets behind one of American craft brewing's most famous barrel programs).Music:We'll have two bands playing this year. The first session will feature the vintage-tinged garage, folk, rock and roll sounds of Kiera and the Lesbians. The second session will play host to our favorite lounge lizards, The Professors, who will be performing their own special brand of sophisticated Surf Music.

Here's the first in several series of photos from our Carnevale Masquerade last Saturday. (If you missed it, you missed a good one.

Anyway...)We'll have more to post later as we sort through them looking for the best (as well as photos of all our masquerade winners). If you've got photos from Carnevale, feel free to send them to us or post them on Facebook and tag us in the photo. We'll make sure to add them to our gallery![nggallery id=14]

The "Other" T.E.A. Party Election Results
There was quite a voted turnout for the "Other TEA Party" last night. Fortunately there were no hanging chads, voting machine malfunctions or bad ballots, so the count was quick and easy.
Of a total of 210 votes cast, TEA 1, a light, lemony sour beer walked away the victor. Many remember a version of this beer premiered as the "Arnold Palmer" TEA at Stone Brewing's 14th Anniverary celebration this past August.As the winner, TEA 1 will be bottled as Veritas 008 and released at our Barrel Party Night on November 13, 2010. (Unfortunately, the Barrel Party is sold out, but if you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you'll be receiving a bottle of Veritas 008 that evening.)TEA 6 also had a strong showing, and an impromptu blend of TEA 2 and TEA 6 was very popular, so it's quite possible that 6, or a blended version thereof, may make an appearance again some time in the future.Here's a tally of the final results:
| Candidate | Votes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TEA 1 | 74 (36%) | Mellow Yellow (French Oak barrel-aged Amigo) with fresh lemon zest and Black Tea |
| TEA 2 | 28 (13%) | Avant Garde Farmhouse Ale with Caramel Apple Rooibos Tea |
| TEA 3 | 22 (10%) | Mongo Double IPA with Mango Ceylon Black Tea |
| TEA 4 | 30 (14%) | Red Barn Saison with Orange Ginger Mint Tea |
| TEA 5 | 4 (2%) | Red Barn Saison with Ginger Lemon Grass Green Tea |
| TEA 6 | 52 (25%) | Old Viscosity with Green Rooibos Plantain Coconut Tea |
Thanks again to everyone who turned out for the vote, and to our friends at the Republic of Tea for providing the teas we used.
T.E.A. Party Update -- What we'll be tasting
Tonight is the "Other" T.E.A. party and our brewers have released the final list of the Traditional Experimental Ales (T.E.A.s) candidates. And what a wide-ranging slate it is. From Plantain and Coconut stouts to Caramel Apple Ales, everyone of these presents a palate pleasing, puckering, and possibly perplexing, party platform that you partisans can get behind. (Or not.)Here's the list of T.E.A. Party candidates we'll be presenting for your consideration tonight:
- TEA 1 -- Mellow Yellow (French Oak barrel-aged Amigo) with fresh lemon zest and Black Tea

- TEA 3 -- Mongo Double IPA with Mango Ceylon Black Tea
- TEA 4 -- Red Barn Saison with Orange Ginger Mint Tea
- TEA 5 -- Red Barn Saison with Ginger Lemon Grass Green Tea

Get there from here: How to get from Lost Abbey to Stone's 14th Anniversary Party
Want to go to Lost Abbey's Brunch and Stone Brewing's 14th Anniversary? Don't feel like worrying about driving or fighting for parking? Here's how get there from here -- and vice versa -- sans automobile.
So you're going to the Stone Brewing 14th Anniversary celebration at Cal State San Marcos on Saturday August 21st, and you'd like to drop by Lost Abbey to enjoy the brunch and perhaps a pensive word or two over a beer in the Abbey before you head off to attend your Session. Problem is, you really don't want to hassle with the hassles of driving and beer festivaling between the two locations.Good news. You don't have to.The Lost Abbey is actually very close to the party's location at Cal state San Marcos (a mere 4,800 ft as the crow flies), and there's a number of options including the train, bike trails and walking paths that are just about as quick as driving your car between places. Here's how to get there from here (or vice versa) without climbing in a car:
The Train
One of the best kept secrets around here is the Sprinter -- a light rail system that runs between Oceanside on the coast, and Escondido inland. You can hop on the train at San Marcos city center (Lost Abbey's station) and off it again 3 minutes later at Cal State San Marcos (for the festival). The Sprinter is also bike friendly, so if you'd rather pedal than hoof it, you can.Lost Abbey is a few minute(s) walk from the San Marcos City Center station, as is the Cal State San Marcos station from the festival. With a bike it's less than half that time.Trains run once an hour and the fare is $2 each way, or you can buy a $5 round trip pass that will take you from Oceanside to Escondido and back again (very convenient if you'd rather leave your car at the transit station or if you're going all train via the Coaster, MetroLink or Amtrak).Tip: Take the Inland Rail Trail (it's on the map) to/from Sprinter and Lost Abbey. The trail avoids the street lights and a steep hill, so you'll travel all that much quicker.MAP: Travel via the Sprinter

Walking / Biking
If you're into the whole human-powered thing, it's still pretty easy to go between Lost Abbey and the Party just using your feet or a bike. (The distance is actually shorter than driving because you can cut through the parking lots and use the sidewalks and bike paths to avoid car routes.) If you're driving and then hoofing/pedaling, make sure to park your car at Cal State San Marcos early and roll down the hill to Lost Abbey. You can have breakfast and burn a few carbs going back to the Stone event. When your Session is over your car will be waiting nearby.Tip: Cut through the Old Spaghetti Factory / LA Fitness parking lot between Twin Oaks & Rancheros (it's on the map). Cars have to drive around it, but you'll cut 1/2 a mile off your trip each way.MAP: Travel via foot or bike

Christmas in July Guest List Registration
In order to keep things comfortable in the brewery at our 2010 Christmas in July celebration and fundraiser we're limiting each session to a maximum of 300 people. As a result, we're asking folks who are planning on attending to RSVP by adding themselves to our guest list.Getting on the guest list is easy. Just complete the form below, choosing your session and how many people will be in your party. Once you've completed the form your name will be added to the guest list for the session you selected.(NOTE: Yes, it will still be possible to get into the event if you're not on the guest list, so long as there's fewer than 300 people registered for that session. However if we reach capacity, priority will be given to those on the list. As such, it's in your best interest to do so.)

Port Brewing / The Lost Abbey will be kicking off American Craft Beer Week next month with a "Toast heard `round the world" during the brewery's 3rd Anniversary Celebration on May 9, 2009.Inaugurated in 2006 with a U.S. Congressional resolution (House Resolution 753), American Craft Beer Week is a celebration highlighting the culture and contributions of craft beer to the nation.From May 11 through 17, 2009 craft breweries across the country will be holding special events and encouraging beer lovers to sign the Declaration of Beer Independence affirming their support of small, independent American craft breweries.Much the way the battle at Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts (immortalized by Ralph Waldo Emerson as "the shot heard `round the world") presaged the American war for Independence, Port Brewing's Toast heard `round the world will be the opening salvo in the week-long celebration of America's growing independent brewery movement.To be given by Port Brewing's three-time Great American Beer Festival brewer of the year, Tomme Arthur, those who can't attend the brewery's 3rd Anniversary Celebration in person are invited to participate by tuning into the brewery's live web broadcast and raising a glass along with Arthur and guests.The toast is scheduled for May 9, 2009 at 5pm Pacific Daylight Time and can be seen on the Lost Abbey brewcam.More information on the Port Brewing / Lost Abbey Anniversary party can be found here.For more information on American Craft Beer Week and special events being held at craft breweries around the country, please visit the American Craft Beer week website or at its Facebook page.
Bad News / Good News: releases delayed, birthday party date made
The Bad NewsAs many of you may be aware, our cork-stoppered bottles come to us from a supplier in France. Unfortunately, because of the vagaries of inter-continental ocean transport, our shipment is currently sailing the high seas somewhere between Le Havre and Los Angeles leaving us with a lot of beer sitting in barrels waiting for glass. As a result, our planned releases of Older Viscosity on April 4th and Bourbon Angel's Share later this month will not occur.The Good NewsOur third anniversary is right around the corner and our annual birthday bash will be held Saturday, May 9th. To make this party an extra special one, in addition to the usual food, music and frivolity, we'll also be doing an über release. In all, there will be four beers made available that day:
- Older Viscosity
- The Angel's Share (Bourbon)
- Port Brewing 3rd Anniversary IPA
- The Ten Commandments
Full details of the anniversary party, release sizes and availability direct from the brewery and via our distribution channels will be made available later this month.* Patron Sinners - This notice applies to the general public only.
