Lost Nation Grand Openning

I can't wait. They are putting out some fantastic beer.

 

Anyone else have problems with their "beer finder" app? I search and it says 19 found, but I can only see the first 6.

Also, are they bottling or just doing kegs? There's some places on that beer finder that are beverage markets rather than taprooms. I'd love to get a few bottles of their Gose.

 

I've only had the Gose and it was phenomenal. Best of the style I've ever had, can't wait to try their other beers.

 

I had the petit ardennes at Pro Pig last Friday and was quite impressed. Hopefully they'll be another gold mine on the rte 100 corridor.

 

I've had the pils, Lamoille saison, Petit Ardennes golden, and the gose. All of them very tasty, and pleasantly low-gravity for a change - nice.

 

Nice location- on the way between Waterbury and Hill Farmstead. That should be named Beer Geek Pass.

 

Petit Ardennes was very good.

 

As far as I can tell they are doing kegs(growlers starting at their grand opening) only right now.

 

Just kegs for now, hoping to bottle within a year.

I've only had the Gose and the Petite Ardens, but both were lovely. Can't wait for more sessionable, tasty beers from them. Gotta track down that saison, personally, sounds great!

 

Are there any details about the taproom regarding number of taps, new beers etc? I'll be up in "the corridor" the first week of July and look forward to checking the place out. I enjoyed their gose at the Three Penny Taproom over Memorial Day weekend.

 

Here's a local article about Lost Nation: http://www.7dvt.com/2013lost-nation-brewing-gets-pub

 

Here's a news archive of recent Lost Nation news http://www.vtbeer.org/category/news/lost-nation-brewing/

From the Stowe Reporter article:

 

Can't wait! Awesome, sessionable beers coming out if this brewery.

 

Thanks! I hadn't seen this article! Lots of info about what to expect from their lineup of beers.

 

Great crowd on Sat. for public opening of the taproom. 6 house beers on tap - Pils, Gose, Rustic Red, Petit Ardennes Belgian Golden, Saison Lamoille, and Pitch Black (not a stout.) All under 5% and very satisfying. Also local kombucha on draft. They have a high-tech growler-filling station that puts a blanket of C02 on the top of the pour for a quality fill. This is another great addition to The Beer Geek Route someone named on here - basically Waterbury to Greensboro. They will be serving food from the Mad Taco Master (not just tacos, I'm told.) Nice t-shirts for sale with a good-looking logo - very evocative of VT. Kegs are being shipped all over, so watch their site to see where they end up.

 

Great update, thanks! Really looking forward to stopping by. The Mad Taco addition is outstanding! Any requirements on growlers (size, shape, color, etc)?

 

Can't wait to check the taproom out! Have had Petit Ardennes and the Saison thus far and have enjoyed both.

 

Sorry - forgot to ask. Best to call them.

 

Pretty sure they will fill other growlers. Not sure about size/shape but it looks like most growlers would fit into the machine. Even if they don't, they are only charging $3 for the glass and $10 for the beer so a pretty reasonable price out the door. Plus, the growler looks pretty cool with the barn logo.
