Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Lost Dog Café & Lounge covers both sides of the bar with unusual thoroughness. Beer runs from a house-branded pale ale and regional craft IPAs to a deep bench of domestic and imported lagers, plus 1911 ciders and hard seltzers. The non-alcoholic list is just as deliberate, with a dedicated N/A section, Athletic non-alcoholic beers, Heineken 0.0, teas, juices, and lemonades.
- What should I order?
- Start with the LD Pale Ale, the house-branded pale ale, or the KCBC Great Catsby IPA for a local craft pour. For a non-alcoholic option, the Athletic Hazy IPA N/A delivers a comparable hop-forward profile without alcohol.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits drinkers who want a straightforward, well-stocked beer list alongside serious non-alcoholic alternatives. Groups with mixed preferences will find equal attention on both sides.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Beers range from $3.00 for a Genny Cream Ale to $12.00 for Lucky Hare Juicy McNeedlehands. Craft options sit mostly between $8.50 and $12.00, while non-alcoholic beers are $5.00–$7.00. Teas, lemonades, and juices are $3.00–$3.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated N/A Beverages section with multiple non-alcoholic beers and a house-branded pale ale on the regular beer list give this program a range that serves both drinking and non-drinking guests with equal specificity.
