Lost Coast Brewery is an independent brewery located in Eureka, California. It produces year-round and seasonal beers and has received various awards from both local and national brewing organizations.
Between 1990 and 2011, the brewery expanded production to 60,000 barrels per year. A larger production facility built in 2014 permits 200,000 to 600,000 barrels annually. [1]
Lost Coast Brewery was founded by Wendy Pound and Barbara Groom in 1989. It is one of only two female-owned breweries [2] in Humboldt County, along with Six Rivers Brewery in McKinleyville. [3]
Pound and Groom developed the idea in 1986 and spent three years on research and development including visits to English and Welsh pubs, home experimentation and refining their techniques. [4] In 1989, they bought the Fraternal Order of the Knights of Pythias Pythian Castle and opened the brewery and pub there in 1990. [4] The brewery outgrew the original location and moved to a larger building in Eureka in 1994, [5] where by 2011, they produced 60,000 barrels of beer, [6] making it the 46th largest brewery in the U.S. despite distribution in only 19 states at the time. [7] [8]
In 2012, the U.S. Brewers Association named Lost Coast Brewery one of the top 50 (by volume) craft and overall breweries, [9] and listed it as number 38 on their nationwide ranking. [10] Following a decade of nearly 20 percent per annum growth, Lost Coast employed 80 people and announced a $15 million new free-standing facility in Eureka, [2] on a 9.3 acres (3.8 ha) site. [6] [11] The plan allowed them to open a facility producing between 200,000 and 600,000 barrels annually. [6] [12]
In 2013, Lost Coast Brewery distributed beer to 21 states of U.S and 11 nations. [13]
Lost Coast brews both year-round and seasonal beers. [6]
