Staff was great, and beer was decent. Our favorites were the hazy IPAS

Lost Generation is such a gem in the NE area. I walk past this brewery on the MBT all the time but this was my first time visiting. The staff were absolutely amazing, both friendly and helpful in explaining the beer options. I truly enjoyed hearing the owner's story of starting the brewery. It was great to hear about this family run business. Lost Generation had a great selection of beers especially IPAs, which are my favorite. They do not have food but they have rotating food trucks every week. You can also get a brewery tour here. The space is nice and open, and family friendly. I look forward to stopping in more on my MBT walks.

Second visit to Lost Gen. Beer is quality. A nice selection of beer types. Can get small pour or full pour which is a big plus for me- I like to sample! They do not have food, but seem to be fine if you bring something in. It is mostly indoor seating with a variety of table sizes and a bar. Parking was a little tricky, but we found parking. DC is lucky to have Lost Gen!

Made a reservation here for my husband's birthday. The entire experience was great! The space is gorgeous. Parking is easy. Food truck option was yum and service was great. My fave brew was the Italian pilsner.

Great brewery on the Metro Branch Trail. Every one who works here is great including the incredibly active owners!

Always a good time. Kid and pup friendly. Some of the better beers among our local breweries.

What a FUN place! If you are a dog and beer person, this is THE place for you! Dogs galore, beer by the pint or flight galore! Plenty of seating for everyone, indoors and out. Food truck options. Service was top notch and fast. Our pup has so much fun and felt so welcome. I love a dog friendly brewery!

Lost Generation Brewery is unequivocally the best brewery in Washington, DC. Before even talking about the beer, what’s most striking is how whenever we walk in the doors it feels as if we’re instantly a part of a small community. And now, the beer: amazing, unique, creative, delicious. And there’s more! When I approached Lost Gen about providing the alcohol and bar service for my wedding, I couldn’t have imagined that the experience from planning to execution could have been more fun, creative, easygoing and, at the end of the day, delicious. Our brunch wedding was perfectly complemented by mimosas, bloody marys, and espresso martinis (on draft!), wine, and a selection of Lost Gen beers. I couldn't be happier with my dependable, welcoming, and of course delicious, local brewery both to grab a drink (or a few) with friends or to rely on for any future event.

Attended their 1-year anniversary party and it was great. Real DC people there with a mix of young, old, dogs and kids. The beer was good and live music was unexpected. A little loud for conversations but an energized atmosphere. Food truck was barbeque that was authentic with sides that spoke soul food. The oyster guys were overwhelmed and it took a while to get them, but they were delicious and at $13 a dozen, nicely priced.

Of all the breweries that have popped up in the area, Lost Generation is the best. Their beer is delicious and glad they recently added an outdoor seating area as well!
This brewery occupies a large warehouse just off the Metropolitan Branch Trail about halfway between the NoMa-Gallaudet and Rhode Island Avenue-Brentwood stations on the Red Line. The interior is large and spacious, with murals along the walls and what appeared to be a family-friendly space in a rear corner. There's plenty of seating options throughout, whether bar and counter setups, or tables and sofas. As for the beer, there were 10 offerings on tap when I came by. Helpfully, you can order small or full pours of anything, so as I always do, I like to customize my own flight. Here, each small pour comes with a super welcome label so you can remember and distinguish between what your ordered. The Beautiful Little Fool hazy IPA, Apocalyptic Dreams hazy double IPA, Stardust Melody hazy IPA, and POG sour were all welcome, hazy, and/our fruity pours on a hot summer day. Service was super friendly and proactive, and the environment quiet and low-key when I stopped by just after opening. Another solid addition to Washington's brewing scene!

Classic big open beer hall with everything you'd expect. Beers, bar food, food truck, dog friendly, some outdoor seating. Definitely a slam-dunk place to visit during warm summer months on a bike.

Great brewery. I think it's one of the best in DC. They have a pretty large selection of beers, including some sours and hoppy IPAs. I love that they have a patio now, and it is super dog friendly. Nice folks too!

I really enjoyed my visit there. Very attractive space. Great mix of industrial and vintage vibes. Friendly and helpful staff. I am not a big beer drinker. But their beers are very good. Made me change my mind about beer lol
