Description
The Lumberbeard Brewing story isn’t a complicated one. It is much like the way we like our beers: simple, straightforward, yet full of creative adventure.

Bret, our president and head brewer, fell in love with beer and the craft of brewing at the appropriate age of 21. After graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in economics, he pursued a sensible job in the finance world. It didn’t take long for him to realize that being at a desk was not for him and he wanted to become a professional brewer. That passion led him and his family to California where he went back to school to earn a Professional Brewing Certificate at University of San Diego. He swore he would never go back to school, but beer will make you do some crazy things. From there, Bret worked as a professional brewer for several years before taking the leap to open his own brewery in Spokane.

Lumberbeard Brewing was founded in 2018 and we are so excited to have you along for this crazy journey. We are committed to making excellent beers and desire to create a community where everyone feels welcome, cared for, and can find a beer they love!

16oz shared with Phill @ Ryan's. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: loads of vanilla, chocolate, some American oak. Taste: along the same lines, vanilla is quite overpowering and hides the influence of American oak. You can still find the complexity added by barrel aging, but it is well hidden by the integration with overpowering vanilla. Overall: quite good still.

Can slightly hazy deep copper/amber. Lots of toasted and Carmel malts. Golden raisins and some digs. A little Carmel sweetness but the ABV cuts through it. Big but balanced in that way. A big beer. Tasty
