Mazer Cup 2019–2020 champion Lost Cause Meadery in Point Loma, San Diego ferments single-varietal Southern California honeys into carbonated session meads, barrel-aged reserves, and fruit co-ferments inside a Banks Street tasting room. The meadery shares The Gärten—an indoor-outdoor communal venue with live-music programming—alongside the sibling natural-wine label Oddish Wine, which the same founding team launched in 2022. Rotating taps pour a dry traditional orange-blossom mead next to a pineapple-guava co-ferment or a tart-cherry melomel, with the full range built on a BJCP Certified Mead Judge's production protocols. The women-owned tasting room programs live music into The Gärten's communal patio multiple nights per week, positioning the meadery as an evening destination on a Midway District San Diego craft-beverage strip that runs past Bar 1924. Large-format oak-barrel aging projects—some exceeding twelve months on bourbon or wine staves—represent the meadery's highest-complexity output.
