Hump Day Happy Hour Meals-on-Wheels

North County Progressive Food Truck Event

This coming Wednesday (3/21/12) we will hosting a very special edition of our regular Hungry Hump Day Happy Hour.  Instead of the average five trucks, we are anticipating anywhere from 12-20 food trucks gathered outside the brewery to support Meals-On-Wheels Greater San Diego, Inc, and their ongoing program to provide meals to area seniors.  Along with a plethora of trucks there will be live entertainment, a charity raffle, and the trucks will be competing for your vote to be selected best of the best.  A fun time, great food, and fabulous beer is guaranteed! 

Details are as follows:

  • What: A VERY special edition of our regular, every Wednesday, truck gathering.
  • Where: The Lost Abbey Parking Lot & Tasting Room
  • How Much: Free Entry 
  • When: 5pm – 8pm on Wednesday, March 21 2012 . 
  • Who: Click HERE for a list of participating food trucks.
  • Caveats: (read: Feel free to bring the food inside, but no alcohol is allowed outside.)  20% of funds raised by the food trucks and The Lost Abbey will go directly to  — Meals-on-Wheels Greater San Deigo, Inc. 
  • Twitter hashtag: #HHDHH

Vodcast #6 The Lost Abbey Propaganda

At the end of February we had our Commercial Conclave winner flown into San Diego to shoot his idea for a Port Brewing/Lost Abbey commercial. Unfortunately, a bright sunny day was essential for his idea to work, and when we arrived at the Carlsbad Beach on Friday February 24th it was dark and gloomy. However, we were insistent on shooting something; we weren’t going to fly Mario out here and not shoot anything.  So, we goofed around, drank some beer, did some brainstorming, and shot this.

We love Mario’s original idea, and still plan on shooting it at the end off this month.

Throwback Thursdays

A new Thursday routine: Starting February 16, 2012, we’ll be THROWING some rarities BACK on tap in the Tasting Room. Each week a keg from the archives will stage its triumphant return to the taps and run for as long as it lasts.

Some of the beers you can expect to see on Throwback Thursday include: Red Poppy 2011, Saint’s Devotion, Framboise de Amorosa 2010, Ad Lib 2011, Russ, Angel’s Share, Bourbon Santa’s 2010 & 2011, La Cruda Porter, and Older Viscosity 2011, and a few others you may be interested in…

Each week’s Throwback Thursday keg will be announced Monday afternoon and the keg will be tapped promptly at 3pm on Thursday.

Details are as follows:

  • What: Throwback Thursdays: We’re throwing a rarity keg back on tap.
  • Where: Lost Abbey Tasting Room
  • How Much: $3 per taster
  • When: Thursdays
  • Caveats: Extremely Limited release (read: the kegs won’t last long); only one 5 gallon keg tapped per week — absolutely no growler fills or large tasters.
