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!

Dark brown, lots of vanilla and chocolate on the nose. Light body for style, it’s got a good malt character but this brewery does typically lack the richness of the best examples. Still, there is upside here because the sugars support the vanilla and barrel.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Foggy golden pour, sturdy white foamy head. Light hoppy aroma with some biscuity malts. Taste is bready, crackers with some solid bittering hops coming after. Kind of a fast finish, with some lingering bitterness.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Very clean and shiny golden pour, plenty of foam head and lacing. Aroma presents a lot of citrus fruit, with the slightest touch of cool pine. Flavor is well balanced for a double. Biscuit malts, some caramel, bright citrus hop profile, piney bitterness, lingering citrus juice and late rind notes. Well layered and put together imperial west coast. Love this one.
