The Lost Abbey Cable Car 2020 is one of the most sought-after releases from the acclaimed San Marcos, California brewery known for crafting complex, barrel-aged Belgian-inspired ales. First brewed as a collaboration with The Toronado in San Francisco, Cable Car has become a legend in the craft beer world, celebrated for its rarity, balance, and expressive fermentation character. The 2020 vintage continues this legacy, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience one of The Lost Abbeys most iconic blends.

Brewed with a proprietary mash bill of malted barley, wheat, and specialty grains, Cable Car undergoes mixed fermentation with Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus before resting in oak. The result is a beautifully nuanced ale with layered acidity and a refined complexity. On the nose, it presents aromas of stone fruit, lemon zest, oak, and a touch of farmhouse funk. The palate follows with flavors of apricot, white grape, green apple, and subtle oak tannins, rounded by a lively effervescence and crisp, dry finish.

Cable Car has earned critical acclaim over the years, often regarded as one of the finest examples of American wild ale. The Lost Abbey itself is a multiple award-winning brewery, recognized at the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup for its mastery of barrel-aged and sour styles. The 2020 release of Cable Car embodies the brewerys dedication to craftsmanship and tradition, while maintaining the mystique that makes each release a true collectors treasure.
