Port / Lost Abbey 4th Anniversary Party

Brewery to celebrate its fourth birthday May 8th with food, music and two new beer releases

Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey will celebrate its fourth anniversary on Saturday May 8, 2010 with a big, two-session party at the brewery. Items on tap for the daylong festivities include specialty kegs from the barrel archives, bottled beer releases, food by our in-house chef, and live music from special guests, The Professors.

Brews, Food and Entertainment

As part of the day’s events, in what is now an anniversary tradition, brewmaster Tomme Arthur, will delve into the storied Lost Abbey barrel archives and give guests an opportunity to sample rare brews from past years. Port Brewing Chef-in-Residence, Vince Marsaglia, and his 20 foot mobile outdoor kitchen and barbeque will be on hand to steam, bake, broil, BBQ and fry their way through a stunning assortment of five-star foods.

Additionally, local music sensations, The Professors, will be on-hand to perform their brand of “sophisticated surf music” live.
