Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale Makes Its Return!

PORT BREWING AND THE LOST ABBEY CELEBRATES ITS 7TH ANNIVERSARY

A celebration to commemorate 7 years will take place May 4th at The Lost Abbey/Port Brewing Tasting Room in Southern California.

The crusade The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing embarked on to fight the good fight and make amazing beer, turns seven on May 4th, 2013. To celebrate the milestone and the joys of the journey, we’ll be hosting a two-session Anniversary Party at The Lost Abbey/ Port Brewing Tasting Room in San Marcos, CA (155 Mata Way).


The guest of honor at the party will be the massively hoppy 7th iteration of Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale. Brewed with Columbus, Amarillo and Simcoe and dry-hopped with Columbus, Amarillo and Citra (a new addition this year) hops, Anniversary Ale has pleasant tones of citrus and pine, a screaming hops presence and just enough malt character to add a hint of sweetness. Port Brewing’s Anniversary Ale comes in at 10% ABV and will be available at the brewery on-draft and through distribution on-draft and 22oz bottles later this month.

Additionally, the Anniversary Party will feature special taps of Framboise de Amorosa (Raspberry Sour & American-Style Sour silver medal award-winner at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival), Deliverance (a blend of Bourbon barrel-aged Serpents Stout and Brandy barrel-aged Angel’s Share), Red Poppy (Flanders Red Ale with sour cherries) and Angel’s Share (Bourbon barrel-aged English-style Barleywine).

“Our Anniversary Party is one of the highlights for us each year” said Director of Brewing Operations Tomme Arthur. “It gives us a chance to celebrate our successes with our most passionate fans”.

Vodcast #28 Corrupted Footage

Last week, we harvested hops from a local farmer out of Fallbrook.  We had several volunteers come to the brewery and help pick hops off the vines; we had lunch, drank, beer and worked hard together.  Ryan, our Multimedia Supervisor, captured the entire event; his goal was to make a short video about the beer and the event, but something went wrong.  Come Day 1 of editing Ryan attempted to load the footage he shot on to his computer and discovered it had been corrupted.  Many more attempts were made, on a number of computers, but still the footage couldn’t be recovered.  Ryan apologizes for the mishap and has decided to explain the event and the beer for you in this video.
