Lost Hiker Brewing started as a family business, built from the ground up on the love of delicious craft beer. What started as a humble home brewing hobby turned into delicious recipes made with the best ingredients and a commitment to deliver great-tasting local craft beer.
Since 2017, Lost Hiker has been the center of a community of creative, fun-loving people who value spending time with friends and family. That community stepped up when it came time for Lost Hiker, the little local brewery, to change hands and continue its story.
Today, we carry on the same dream that started Lost Hiker: making great beer with great friends right here in the Sacramento Mountains of Lincoln County, New Mexico.
Thank you for joining us in this endeavor. We are all excited to bring folks together to this beautiful place for fun, tasty beer. We are happy you are here.
Stay awhile, have a beer. As the original Lost Hiker, Dan Carey, liked to say, “Brew what you love, love what you brew.”
-Steve, Lauren, Mickey, Emily, Luther, Amanda, Kyle, KayCee, Tim, Marin, and our whole crew.

We are back!
The Lost Hiker Midtown Taproom is open!
And we are making it simple. We are OPEN from 12 - 8 pm everyday. Keep an eye out for coming specials and events. We have Trivia every Thursday starting at 6:30pm.

LHB Music Bingo is coming to the Taproom once a month starting in 2026. We had a great time, so we are bringing it back. Homegrown music bingo is one Tuesday night each month. Starting at 6pm, we jam out to 4 or 5 rounds of bingo with oddball prizes. Great time to grab a pizza or burger and bring it to the taproom for some fun. Tuesday night, January 20th at 6pm. We have the right brews to go with the jam!

We all have this special bit of knowledge about something in the universe that we love to think about and to tell people about.
Well, Oso Productions wants to highlight and celebrate that with an entertaining and educational evening called WELL, ACTUALLY...
The first night of presentations will be on February 2nd @ the Lost Hiker Taproom. We will have three presenters give us the details of what they can't stop thinking about.
Come join us... And if you have something you want to present, sign up for the next WELL, ACTUALLY!
Donations will be accepted for this event and they will go to the presenters and to the Scott Fitzgibbons Fine Arts Grant.
Great times with great people.

And the Hootenanny goes on! Come sing along, bring an instrument and play along, or just hang out and enjoy.
EVERY THREE WEEKS
A hootenany is an informal gathering with music (folk, rock, country, etc.) and sometimes dancing; oftentimes on a porch. Since it is probably too cold for the porch, we are moving inside. This is very informal. Learning to play? Oldtimer that wants to play with others? Just want to hangout with a cold beer and listen along? This is the place for you! From 4 to 6. Bring snacks if you like, we got the beer.

Hiking, reading and beer go together like basil, tomato and mozzarella on a pizza. MMMMM pizza.... sorry... focus. What we are saying is we like to read. So, we are starting The Hoppy Readers, the occasional Lost Hiker book club. A lot is going on and we like to have plenty of time to actually read the book. We are excited for Project Hail Mary to come out in March, so we are gonna see if the book is good first. Join us on Feb. 17 (Tuesday) to chat about this far-out adventure.
