Lost Tavern Brewing Brings Back Beloved 150th Anniversary Beer

For the third year in a row, Lost Tavern Brewing of Hellertown is releasing 1872, its New England-style hazy IPA, first released in 2022 to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of St. Luke’s.

“St. Luke's continues to be a close partner and provider to the Lehigh Valley community. Lost Tavern has been blessed to tag team a tribute beer to celebrate St. Luke's 150-year anniversary and hopes to celebrate this hard-earned accomplishment by re-brewing up until, and long after, their next celebrated milestone,” said Kenny Rampolla, CEO of Lost Tavern Brewing.

This refreshing, citrus-forward IPA features Citra and Mosaic hops that push the flavors and aromas of bright, fresh-pressed orange juice. The hop notes are complemented by a subtle addition of grapefruit puree, adding a pithy-yet-mild bitterness for a smooth drinking IPA.

“We can't express our appreciation enough for the opportunity to honor one of the many excellent healthcare providers involved with providing decades of quality healthcare to our community,” Rampolla said. “This is just the beginning, and we are ecstatic that this partnership will continue to flourish beyond 1872!” 

The St. Luke’s-themed IPA is available at both Lost Tavern taprooms: 782 Main St., Hellertown, and 444 Main St. Bethlehem.
