Description
Luddite Brewing Co Ltd is a 6bbl microbrewery operating from the Calder Vale Hotel in Horbury Junction.
We try to brew interesting ales from the finest ingredients. We like traditional beer recipes, popular trends such as IPAs, and we also like to experiment with our take on continental beer styles, particularly those of the clever Belgians.

Ossett Official Pub Walking Tour Beer#6. I I've walked on to Luddite Brewery to taste their very fruity single hop beer using Mosaic. Sweetish with pineapple prevalent, this clear good-looking golden coloured brew is full of flavour with a session texture. Drank in the beer garden at the rear of the pub.

Ossett Official Pub Walking Tour Beer#5. I've kept walking and ended up at Luddite Brewery Tap for this smooth tasting, not quite black stout. Light chocolate gives it a subtly-beautiful flavour, all quite easy drinking.
