You’ve probably had and enjoyed a beer produced by Colin Stronge. Failing that, you no doubt know some that has…

And in Spring of 2024 the renowned brewer, alongside his wife and esteemed brand manager Vik Kastenbauer Stronge, launched Lost Cause Brewing Co onto the UK beer scene.

We were thrilled that Colin used our Brewers Lectures at the excellent Wiper and True in Bristol to showcase these debut beers for the first time.

During his talk, our Brewer of the Year from The 2022 Brewers Choice Awards, talked us through his career to-date. A journey that has taken in stints at breweries such as Buxton Brewing Co, Black Isle, Marble Beers, Northern Monk and Salt Beer Factory.

But more importantly, he outlines his goals for Lost Cause Brewing Co and why sometimes you need a little bit of discomfort to give you that push in life.
