Lost River salutes St. Luke’s University Health Network 150th anniversary

For the third year in a row, Lost River Brewing of Hellertown has released “1872,” a New England-style hazy IPA first released in 2022, to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of St. Luke’s University Health Network.

“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 River Tavern Brewing, in a Jan. 25 press release.

The IPA has Citra and Mosaic hops for the flavor and aroma of fresh-pressed orange juice. The hop notes are complemented by the addition of grapefruit puree, adding a pithy-yet-mild bitterness.

“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 Lost River Tavern, 782 Main St., Hellertown, and 444 Main St., Bethlehem.
