Inspired Beer for Sinners and Saints Alike
HUGE thanks to everyone at Rancho Bernardo Inn.
Last month we celebrated our 6th birthday! We had a huge party and invited all of our friends.
We had awesome music provided by The Flounders, Squarefish, and Silverline; we had great food provided by SlowCal BBQ, Red Oven Pizza, and Casanova Fish Tacos, and of course we had incredible beer! For those who missed out try to live vicariously through this video, and for those who did attend see if you made the cut.
Well, Halloween is over and it’s time to turn our attention to Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, over at Craftbeer.com, famed beer professor, author and aficionado, Randy Mosher, has a great article on beer pairings for every stage of the day long food celebration.
Among Mosher’s many outstanding suggestions — Judgment Day (for the wine drinkers in the family) and Old Viscosity (perfect with pie).
After you’re done reading the story you can print it and make it a holiday beverage shopping list. Even it you don’t get through the whole list on Turkey Day, you’ll be set for every holiday party and get-together from now until New Year’s Day.

Camp out, enjoy nature and great food & beer pairings at the Camp Confab at Suzie’s Farm in Imperial Beach. The local farm-to-table chefs of Cooks Confab have put together a fun little overnighter where you’ll get to pitch your tent, do a little camping and enjoy food fresh from the farm cooked by some of San Diego’s best chefs. Tomme will be there with some Lost Abbey brews to talk craft beer and help host the Harvest Dinner Celebration that night.

Last night I had the great pleasure of attending the Cook’s Confab Beer event at Stingaree Restaurant and Bar in Downtown San Diego. The Cook’s Confab is a collection of local chefs (who happen to be incredibly talented) and work for some of the best restaurants in San Diego. They hold quarterly themed events and make outrageous food. The event last night featured each chef teaming up with a local brewer(y) to pair courses and beers. The beers were amazing. The food was exceptional and the ambiance of a rooftop in downtown San Diego at night in August couldn’t be beat.
Lost Abbey was represented last night and we were flanked on either side by Brian Stinnott of 1500 Oceanaire and Andrew Spurgin of Water’s Fine Catering. Brian chose to pair a Duck Sausage with our Cuvee de Tomme while Andrew spent 4 days working on his Pork Belly to match the strength of the Cuvee. Both of these plates were home runs and it was a privilege to work with these guys.
Other participants last night included Stone, AleSmith, Ballast Point, Green Flash and Lightning Brewery. There were over 250 people in attendance and most seemed incredibly pleased by what they tasted. I was overwhelmed by the support of the cooking community and was pleased to meet some very influential owners and bar managers.
We at the Lost Abbey would very much like to make inroads on wine lists and finer dining establishments. Events like this go a long ways to showcase our beers to a wide range of consumers and potential markets. I spoke briefly with many of the chefs and asked them to consider an event with local beer to be added to the calendar once a year. It’s the sort of thing that we as brewers need to support and lend a helping hand to.
Last night was a permagrin night. There was so much to be thankful for. Considering the event took place about 4 blocks from where I got my start as a craft brewer, it was great to be back home. To me, last night was a seminal moment- a turn the page sort of place in time. We got the best chefs in San Diego to circle the wagons and fire up the grills. It was an all time night for our beers for sure.
Thanks to the Cook’s Confab and all the people at Stingaree who put on a great show last night. Too bad the Padres lost. Downtown would have been that much more electric.
Join the Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey crew for brunch before Stone Brewing’s 13th Anniversary Celebration on August 22nd, 2009.
Naturally Chef Vince will be cooking up a hearty breakfast that includes eggs, bread, at least half a dozen things made from pork — all of which you can wash down with our big tap list of award-winning beers. As always, the food is free and the beer (a very reasonable) regular price.
We’re opening at 8:30am to give you plenty of time to carbo-load before heading up the hill to the Stone party.
