About Lost Winds Brewing Company

San Clemente locals Tim Thralls, Andrew Mack and Tim Burke, founded Lost Winds Brewing Company on the idea that thoughtfully made craft beer can appeal to the masses – from casual beer drinkers that enjoy lighter ales to craft beer enthusiasts seeking hoppy IPAs, sours, stouts, saisons, and barrel-aged beers. We are excited to introduce you to our line-up with a focus on Belgian style beers.

 

Lost Winds Brewing Company is located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, in a small beach town known as "the Spanish Village by the Sea". San Clemente has long been an idyllic place to surf world class breaks and hit the beach with friends. Tim Thralls, our managing partner and award winning home brewer, together with Brandon Winneker, our classically trained head brewer and Seahawks Junky are now helping to make San Clemente a world-class craft beer destination as well. [MEET THE CREW]

 

YES, WE KNOW IT’S CALLED “LASUEN”.

 

The ocean and the history of our California beach community are central components of Lost Winds Brewing Company. Our brewery is named after a local surf break and beach, Lost Winds, which many don't realize is named after a loose pronunciation of the street that leads to the staircase to Lost Winds Beach, “Calle Lasuen". Lost Winds, LW, Lasuens... all the same beach. Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen himself was a Franciscan Priest and successor of Saint Junipero Serra. He founded nine of the iconic missions up and down the coast of California; and he is even responsible for introducing the classic Spanish adobe style ubiquitous around town and at all California missions.

 

Good surf, a classic beach community, a little bit of California history, and now great beer. We love where we live and can’t wait to see you at Lost Winds Brewing Company!

This week began our first trivia... of 2022! 

One thing that got us excited was seeing some old friend return after a long-term hiatus. Welcome back, guys. So fun to have you join us again, and we hope you all keep coming back.

This week marked the return of our infamous free beer round challenge, "What's In Your Wallet?!" We ask if anyone on your team has a random item in their wallet or purse. The team that has the most things wins! This week we asked if you were ballin' and had a $100 bill in your wallet - and quite a few did! I'm guessing your grandparents probably gifted it to you with a lovely card for Xmas. Other random items we asked for included... a bandaid, eyedrops, bottle opener, checkbook, and more. Seriously though, who carries a checkbook on them? WELL, ONE TEAM DID! Team "TripleVP" won this week's free beer round by having the most items.

Additionally, "TripleVP" and "Dry" doubled down late in the game to catapult themselves into the lead! Well done, guys!

See you all next week!

Your QMs, Jeff + Kelly

This week concluded our last trivia EVER... of 2021!

Gotcha scared there for a second, didn't I? Don't worry, we will be back next Tuesday.

Both "Shart Truce" and "Don't Mess With Texas" doubled down in the last two rounds to take 1st and 2nd place! Always fun to watch how you can gain an advantage by going for Double or Nothing.

And guys, how fitting was it that the "Kimballs" team won this week's Free Beer Round, "NYE Ball Drop?" Your second favorite QM, my wife Kelly, really enjoyed crushing balls all day to make this game happen. Want to see the balls drop for your own viewing pleasure? Click the link below.

Happy holidays, trivia teams!

This week we made it a bit Christmas-y and even had a Candy Cane Duel for our Free Beer Round. Congrats to Team Sleigh Brails Ring for winning the fight!

So this week we have a new food truck... "Mama's Kitchen," with some amazing Mexican dishes. Their special for our Tuesday Tacos & Trivia night is a three-taco plate for $8 - your choice of meat. Kelly and I tried their quesadillas, and they are amazing. Next week come hungry!

Overall, the trivia was great. Love that we have some new teams like Hokie Poki returning each week. They brought the competition and placed second for a $15 gift card! The 1st place winners were Team Dry for $25. 

Thanks for coming out everyone, and remember to bring your squad next week for more fun!
