Pairings: Vol 1

Thursday’s are our favorite! We get to start thinking about the weekend and what we’re going to do, what we’re going to eat and most importantly, what we’re going to drink!

We’re going to start posting some of our favorite food/beer combos to help make those decisions easier… this week we paired a feta/fruit salad, Roquefort Cheese and Pepperoni Hot Pocket… Cheers!

SPY Belgian Waffle Ride

SPY_AD_R

April 7th was the 2nd Annual SPY Belgian Waffle Ride (SPY BWR) which began and ended at the SPY HQ off of Palomar Airport Road. 350 (insane) Riders suffered through 209 Kilometers (130 miles) of various terrain leading through Fallbrook and Bonsall to Escondido and Lake Hodges, venturing back to the promised land of Carlsbad.

Our one-and-only Lost Abbey “Team Rider” Karl Bordine, finished this year’s trek in 3rd Place as well as The Sprint Award for fastest times on the sprint segments.

A great day overall, especially when it ended with a well-deserved Lost Abbey beer after a long ride.

7th Anniversary Party

Celebrate our 7th birthday with beer, food and a few of our closest friends!

7thAnniversarySmallTo celebrate our 7th year of existence, we’re going back to our roots… Long gone are the anniversary parties that were focused on pony rides and balloon animals. We’re not going to bore you with lame card tricks and annoying roaming magicians looking for tips. (though last year’s magician has yet to re-appear from his disappearing act)

This year’s 7th Anniversary party is all about GOOD BEER. We’re filling every one of our taps with beers both new and properly aged. We’re also bringing back our “Vintage Case” and filling that to the brim with some tasty “tracks”… umm… we mean beers… Tasty beers.

We also thought we’d compliment this awesome selection of beer with four of our favorite food trucks! Devilicious, Red Oven Artisanal Pizza, Hoangies and Oscar’s Meat Pies.  Each truck will have a dish paired with a select Lost Abbey or Port beers put together by our “Goddess of Paring”, Gwen.

So there you have it! Beer, Food, Friends…and we’ll even throw in some face painting… It’s our party and we’ll paint our face if we want to!

This will be a ticketed event; tickets will go on sale on 4/20 at 10am at www.lostabbey.com. They’re $20 per person and $25 day of… Though we’ve never actually had any tickets available on the day of, just an FYI.
