If you have ever taken a seat on a bag of grain topped keg in the tasting room of a truly working brewery, Lost Abbey is probably the prototype as well as the benchmark. There are brewers and other staff wandering around pushing pallets and driving forklifts and several hundred wooden barrels that are aging Tomme's fine beers.
You will also very often find Tomme around and he is more than willing to stand a moment and describe and serve you one of his beers. Sometimes he might even drag out something special, like the Sangre de Cristo that is a red grape-infused sour ale, served like sangria with fruit, that made its debut at Stone's 13th Anniversary party.
Of course you know that everything that Port/Lost Abbey does is extraordinary. When you visit the brewery look for the more rare beers, such as the Cuvee and the Duck Duck Gooze.
