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!

"A rousing good time" - Guy at the bar

"This was fun" - Lady nearby

"You don't suck" - Guy from upstairs

"Yes, you do, don't listen to him" - Other guy from upstairs

These comments and more were heard this week at Lost Winds during our Tuesday night show. Much merriment was had, and the best part about this particular show is how into the trivia people get. Let me tell you, I never expected Moana to get such a large cheer at an all-adults brewery.

On to the winners for the night: Little Lebowski's Urban Achievers looked destined for a middle of the pack finish after a brain fart on a double down in round 5, but a "screw it and check it" double down in round 6 pushed them forward to victory! Wooly Caterpillar did what they do and finished in a solid second place.

Most importantly, this is a fun place to come hang out. Join us next Tuesday for great brews, awesome tacos, and some great trivia!

This place is awesome. Seriously, if you haven't made the trip to Lost Winds, what are you doing with your life? The beer is incredible (try the Christmas beer)(And the DIPA)(and the rest of them). More importantly, there's a great trivia show going down every Tuesday night here. This week, Team Torero came roaring out of nowhere to take home first prize. The battle for last place was fierce, and the pictures show our losers (winners?) getting their last place beer prize. Congrats to La Iguana!

Looking forward to seeing even more of you out there next week!

I made a repeat appearance! This place just tugs at your heart strings. If you haven't made it out to Lost Winds for Tuesday night trivia, you need to. The beer is exquisite. The food trucks are delish. But mostly, the trivia is lit (at least that's what the kids tell me).

The crowd was engaged in the show this evening. The excitement was palpable, and our winners were the moist ones, Moist Wizard Gizard! They led wire to wire on the strength of a couple early doubles. A few new teams made a good run, but failed double downs led to their demise.

Whomever is the next host here will have an absolute gem of a show! Come be the new quizmaster here!
