Lost Winds Brewing Company

Visited late Wed afternoon on 10th Jan 2018. Nice vibe to the place, the brightest of the local brewpubs we have seen so far. Liked the lay out and the upper level provided extra space, although it wasn't required during our stay as it was not very busy. 14 taps on, we had 13 of them, all in good order. Taco stall outside, we had a selection of those for a snack, complimented the beers nicely.

Lost Winds has been open about 9 months and I took the opportunity on my drive up to LA today to check it out. They are not far off I-5 and the stop made for a nice break from the traffic. Located in an Industrial/Business Park, they are a small facility but make maximum use of their space, having a loft area with additional seating and a shuffleboard table. There were 13 beers on tap with half being Pale/IPA. Though each we’re different I would enjoy a bit more variety. The service was prompt, even when s line formed. I found the beers all good with no flaws and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.

Visited around dinner time on a Friday. Just around the corner from Aritfex. Parking is on either side of the building. Brand new tasting room and brewery, with a very nice industrial design. The room is fairly narrow, though the space is used well with the brewery along one wall, the bar with seats on the other side, tables in one end of the room. My favorite part was the loft up above that had several more tables and seats at the rail overlooking the main room. Beer selection was 10 house beers, 6 of which were Belgian styles. Pick 6 flight is $12, we were able to get all 10 on 2 sample trays. Pints, individual tasters and growlers also available. Seemed like they were still dialing in the beer quality. Service was friendly and knowledgeable.

70 = ★★½ (Locals should check it out, visitors with extended time)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.
