Lost Worlds and Bright Penny Form a Collab and the Result is Refreshing
Since opening in 2020, Lost Worlds has had a handful of beer collaborations – Catawba Brewing, Rock Hill Brewing, Mad Mole and King Canary to name a few.

Some brewery collaborations originate from long-time friendships and others by happenstance. Our most recent collab is the result of attending Untapped Beer Festival. After tasting each other’s brews and talking about craft beer all day, our breweries decided to craft a collaboration.
