History

Lost Rhino Brewing Company was founded by Matt Hagerman and Favio Garcia, two former brewers from Old Dominion Brewing Company in Loudoun County.[3] The company name comes from a surfing term, "rhino chaser" which is defined as "someone out to find the best waves, the biggest waves—an adventurer."[4]

In May 2011, Lost Rhino opened and made a name for itself by using locally harvested ingredients from nearby orchards, meadows and fossils, which supports local Virginia farms.[5] [6]

In 2013, using malt and hops grown in state, local water and yeast cultured at the brewery, Garcia and Jasper Akerboom brewed "Native Son", the first "all Virginia beer" in modern history.[7]
