Even the brewery cats are thirsty at The Lost Abbey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Lost Abbey\/Port Brewing\u2019s production facility uses a 30 barrel system that produces 12,000 barrels of beer per year. Thirty-six varieties of beer are typically created each year, many of which are never repeated. The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing have 18 bottled year-round beers.<\/p>\n

The San Marcos brewery is considered the extension of the Pizza Port family that focuses on producing artistic and non-traditional beers. Tomme Arthur, the Brew Master and Co-founder of The Lost Abbey\/Port Brewing, frequently works on creating new European-style and barrel-aged beers for the brand. Arthur gets his inspiration from the work of local muralist Sean Dominguez, who is commissioned by Arthur to paint a scene that will illustrate a future Lost Abbey brew. Then, Arthur will create a batch of beer from the painting. These paintings used can be seen throughout the brewery’s tasting room, or on the labels of the bottled beers.<\/p>\n

The Lost Abbey\u2019s Framboise de Amorosa sour ale was recently a winner at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival in Category 18: American Style Sour. This beer was inspired by a painting from Dominguez that depicted a lusty desirable woman, from which the decision to brew a beer full of raspberry flavor was conceived.<\/p>\n

Coming up next Friday is a cool event at the brewery called Boos n’ Brews. Straight from the website: Join us in the tasting room for an evening carving Jack o’ lanterns and sipping fine Port & Lost Abbey brews.
