THE TEAM BEHIND STOWE’S L O S T N AT I O N B R E W E RY
Co-brewmasters Allen Van Anda and Jamie Griffith of Lost Nation Brewery in Morrisville, Vermont, ain’t lying. Rather, they’re making what they call “honest beer,” which follows a more European beer style with a dash of Northern Vermont mixed in. For them, it’s about keeping things as authentic and flavorful as possible while staying true to what makes good beer good. With six regular brews, ranging from a Rustic Ale to a Vermont Pilsner, and three seasonal releases, including an Oktoberfest currently available, Lost Nation ensures a robust tasting menu for all. Plus, their cozy Tap Room restaurant serves up seasonal pub fare like local Vermont sausage, pork belly and shaved prime rib, while a fleet of guest brews keeps both newcomers and regulars appeased. But to understand the beer is to understand the brewmaster, so we sat down with the two guys behind the 7,000-barrel small batch beer and asked them some honest questions.
