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.
