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!

On tap at Chuck’s Greenwood, pours a dirty dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma is full of rich maple syrup, light vanilla, and subtle bourbon in back. Flavour is full of rich maple syrup and vanilla, which is quickly taken over by the bourbon barrels, finishing boozy, sweet and barrel-dominant. Not super complex but nicely barrel-aged with sufficient malt backbone. Very good.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head that rapidly diminished. Aroma of bourbon and roasty malt. Arguably full bodied. Not dry. Bourbon/heat stands in for bitterness. It has some dark fruit, dark caramel, bourbon and some wood astringency. Very good flavor.

16 oz can. Aroma is crackery, citrus rind. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with great retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness and very little sweetness. Really basic IPA with no flourishes, but it goes down easy.
