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!

Tonight's trivia game was filled with excitement as 12 teams battled for victory. The free beer round added a fun twist with a paper airplane contest. Team "Demon Cobras" showcased their creativity with a design crafted by their underage daughter. However, their plane got stuck behind the beer taps, adding a humorous twist to the competition. They also secured a third-place finish overall.

 

In second place, Team "WINNING!!!" demonstrated their impressive knowledge and quick thinking, earning them a well-deserved $15 gift card to Lost Winds. But it was Team "7th Place" who emerged as the ultimate champions of the night. With a bold move of doubling down for 20 points at the end of the game, they jumped into the lead and claimed the first-place victory.

 

Congratulations to all the teams for their competitive spirit and fantastic performance. The night was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and memorable moments. We look forward to seeing everyone again next week for another exciting trivia night!

It was an exciting night of trivia at Lost Winds! Team "7th Place" took home the first-place victory and scored a $25 gift card to enjoy at the brewery. Their impressive knowledge and strategic gameplay secured their well-deserved win.

 

"The Rutson's" continued their winning streak, securing second place for the second week in a row. It was incredible to see their determination and skill, especially considering they joined the game late during the second round. They walked away with a $15 gift card as a reward for their impressive performance.

 

On the other end of the spectrum, team "Knuckleheadmcspazitrons" landed in last place. However, we appreciate their dedication to staying until the end of the game, and as a token of our gratitude, they were treated to a free beer shot for the entire team. It was an extra special moment as they are the family members of our new Tuesday night beertender, Kyara. We look forward to welcoming them back for more trivia fun in the future.

 

Sadly, this was the last night for our beloved beer enthusiast and beertender, Mitch McDuff. Mitch will be moving on to pursue other brewing opportunities and will even be starting his own company soon. We will certainly miss his infectious enthusiasm and his infamous weekly beer shot giveaway, where he would invite everyone to join him for a shot and say, "because I need friends!" Mitch has left a lasting impact on our trivia nights, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

 

To honor Mitch's contribution, this week's free beer round was dedicated to him. Teams were encouraged to write a poem for Mitch, showcasing their creativity and appreciation. Kyara, our judge for the night, carefully reviewed the entries, and team "We Can't Just Drink?" emerged as the winners. Their poem not only rhymed beautifully but also spelled out Mitch's name with the first letter of each stanza. It was a heartfelt tribute that truly captured the spirit of the night.

As the evening came to a close, we celebrated the winners, bid farewell to Mitch, and welcomed Kyara as our new Tuesday night beertender. The night was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared love for trivia and good company. We can't wait to see what the future holds and look forward to another exciting night of trivia next week!
