11/13 – Our Fall Craft Beer Four-Course Luncheon Experience Featuring Our Brewing Partner & Friends at Virginia’s Award-Winning Lost Rhino Brewery With Founder Matt Hagerman and Sales Manager Meghan Morgan

Please join us at L’Auberge Chez François on Thursday, November 13th 11:30am as we host our valued partners “Lost Rhino Brewing Company” for another exciting and lively Craft Beer Luncheon Experience featuring local Lost Rhino’s award-winning beers.

We are also very proud that Matt Hagerman, Founder of Lost Rhino brews our own and (Chef ‘s favorite) “Papa’s Pilsner” (in honor of Papa who also loved beer) and is featured on draft in Jacques Brasserie, crafted with Centennial Hops grown in Chef’s Jacques Garden.

Lost Rhinoʼs founder, Matt Hagerman, wanted to start his own adventure, and that adventure was Lost Rhino Brewing Company. The adventure began back in 2011, when Loudoun County Virginia was starving for local craft brews.

Matt, a former brewer at Old Dominion for some years wanted to bring the spirit of craft beer back into the county, and began brewing some of their first beers: New River Pale Ale, Rhino Chasers Pilsner, and Face Plant IPA. Nowadays, Lost Rhino has grown greatly since their founding, and they have never lost sight of our love for the craft. In the brew house, they take pride in bringing classic styles and local flavor in all of their beers.

Chef Jacques will pair a custom multi-course delectable luncheon menu with a selection of Lost Rhino’s seasonal brews, Many of these beer selections are seasonal and are one-offs, limited runs that are barrel aged and rare, so you will not want to miss this event!

Our special guests, Matt and Meghan will be on hand to guide you thru the tastings and pairings of these delectable craft and local beer. We are happy to accommodate guests’ dietary concerns so all may join the festivities. Please email chezlauberge@aol.com with special requests. Patrons will have an opportunity to purchase these beers at a very special price today!
