Tomme Arthur opened The Lost Abbey in May 2006, earning a devoted following among beer fans, stretching well beyond its hometown of San Marcos in San Diego County. Southern California is fortunate that they do not have to make a lengthy pilgrimage for a chance to taste its highly sought-after beers. Tacoma was fortunate until The Lost Abbey pulled out of the state in 2022. Maintaining independence remains one of the hardest things for breweries. The landscape has changed so very much over the past 19 years. Thankfully, Stoup Distro has brought The Lost Abbey back to Tacoma, at least for this week. Stop by Peaks & Pints for a Friday flight of Lost Abbey called Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: The Lost Abbey.

Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: The Lost Abbey

The Lost Abbey Noble Tendencies

5% ABV

A clean, crisp Czech-style pilsner with a refreshing start leads to bright biscuit notes and smooth and balanced finishing thanks to the noble hops.

The Lost Abbey Farmhouse Rustic Lager

5.8% ABV

Farmhouse Rustic Lager is a lighter version of Lost Abbey’s long-time brew, Avant Garde. It still begins with an initial malt sweetness and a subtle hop presence, plus notes of herbs, honey, and grain. It has a grassy and bitter finish.

The Lost Abbey The Right Side of Happiness

6.7% ABV

The Right Side of Happiness IPA is brewed with Vista and Krush hops for an intriguing mix of tropical and herbaceous aromas, plus pronounced kiwi and papaya. Medium in the body begins with a burst of pineapple, followed by flavors of peach and pear. The finish is bright and bold, with lingering honeydew melon, grapefruit, and tangerine notes.

The Lost Abbey Every Everything

6.7% ABV

Brewed with Cascade, Jackson Ocho, and Eclipse hops, this West Coast IPA hits the nose with green tea, pine, citrus, and peach. The same notes are followed on the tongue with a cracker finish.

The Lost Abbey Lost and Found

8% ABV

Modeled after the great Trappist and Monastic beers that inspired the founding of The Lost Abbey, Lost and Found Belgian-style dubbel arrives with a richly deep garnet created from a blend of domestic and imported malts. It hits the nose with banana, gum-like esters, light cocoa, and raisin, followed by layers of malt, yeast, and a teasingly dry chocolate malt finish. Malts, raisins, and a fantastic, harmonious yeast strain produce a beer of extraordinary complexity and depth.
