Lost Abbey Meets Iron Maiden In August Box Set Release
It’s August. That means the 8th release in The Lost Abbey’s Ultimate Box Set Series will be released. Each beer is a blend, or a one time creation, with a metal overtone. Track #8 is a bourbon barrel version of Judgement Day. (The base beer for Lost Abbey’s Cuvee de Tomme.) The rocking didn’t stop there.
The conversations turned to Oatmeal Raisin cookies and the essence of a freshly baked treat. So we added some cinnamon sticks to the barrels and threw in some dried chiles as well.
The result is sure to be big.Judgement Day is a quadrupel brewed with raisins. Bourbon, cinnamon, and chilies? Sold. You’ll only get this one at Lost Abbey (to drink on site) on August 18, 2012. What’s in the name? Track #8 is named for Iron Maiden’s “Number of the Beast.”
Style: Quadrupel (w/ Raisins, Cinnamon, Chilies, Barrel Aged)
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles. One time release
13.7% ABV

Lost Abbey Gives Birth To The Devil with Track 7
It’s July which means time for another Lost Abbey Ultimate Box Set Release. Track 7 is inspired by INXS’s 1988 hit “The Devil Inside.” So what beer matches this little bundle of evil? A remix of the brewery’s Veritas 006, a wild ale. The crew took that beer, and added raspberries, cherries and Mandarin orange zest. This baby arrives July 21, 2012. Sold only at the brewery, for consumption on site only.
It is a remix of our classic Veritas 006 aka sangria. We have raspberry and cherry providing the bulk of the fruit texture over a sour yellow base beer. To this we also added some orange peel and freshly zested mandarin orange zest as well. The beer finishes with a nice tannic finish and is truly a refreshing riff on a Lost Abbey classic.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raspberries, Cherries, Orange Zest, Oak Aged)
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles. Brewery only
8.12% ABV

Lost Abbey’s Edition Of Mo Betta Bretta
Mo’ Betta Bretta has officially hit the streets starting in both California (Lost Abbey) and Colorado (New Belgium) where the collaboration was brewed. This isn’t the first release of this collaboration beer either. It was brewed by the pair once before, circa 2004. Notice the allusion to some pretty famous beer frogs of the past…
On the Imagination River live some very curious Bullfrogs. Rumor has it they LOVE funky and wild beer. But it wasn’t alway this way. Like most her drinking frogs they started out drinking mass produced beer. And for the most part, each was content drinking this her. But then a new frog took up residence next door. He embraced funk and his inner wild child.
One day while lounging on the lily pads, he broke out a special bottle of Mo Betta Bretta a delicious blonde ale with a decidedly 100% wild fermentation carried out by Brettanomyces. Everything changed that day. Now when you get close to the reeds and listen you can hear them croaking in unison… Mo Betta Bretta. And for that, we’re thankful these frogs have great taste in beer.
Style: American Wild Ale
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles, corked & caged
Released: 6/16/12, at Lost Abbey
6.3% ABV
