Description
Our story began back in 2009, Old Dominion Brewing Company had been brewing and serving craft beers in Loudoun County Virginia since ‘89 and was a beloved fixture in the county. However, in 2009 the company had been bought by AB InBev and later relocated their operation to Delaware, which of course left a large void in the local craft beer community. During this transition, Matt Hagerman, Lost Rhino’s founder, had managed to purchase some of Old Dominion’s brewing equipment, including its 25 barrel brewhouse and started getting together a business plan. By starting his own adventure in brewing, he would also help bring the spirit of craft beer back into Loudoun County. Since Matt had been a brewer at Old Dominion, and knew exactly what he needed to make this goal a reality. So he found his own space, set up the brewhouse, fermentors, brite tanks and not too long after in 2011, began brewing some of our first and most beloved brands: New River Pale Ale, Rhino Chasers Pilsner, and Face Plant India Pale Ale right here in Loudoun.

Nowadays, Lost Rhino has grown quite a bit since it’s founding, but we have never lost sight of our love for the craft. In the brew house, we take pride in bringing classic styles and local flavor in all of our beers. Everything we craft is personal; we thrive on choosing the scenic route, the tough challenge, the road less traveled.

It’s time to Get Lost!

Draft pour at Pupatella. Poured a clear golden orange color with a small, wispy head by the time it made it to my table. Crisp, vibrant floral and fruity notes. This has a wonderful fresh smell that is also a throwback to more resin-forward IPAs that I realize I miss quite a bit. Bitter, but not overpowering bitterness. This was quite nice.

Came over the Atlantic to be with me as a Christmas present from my sister. There might have been some turbulence on the flight as it came out of the can actively. Blonder than the photo I took, it has some nice orange fruit notes within what is an above average pils.
