Luddite Brewing Collective

Scottish

LB-089 Le Projet de Rivin – Scottish Export Ale

After a much too long hiatus we are back to brew a Scottish Export Ale. All it took was a request to brew for a wedding! So, we are overjoyed to help (in our small way) Kevin and River celebrate the next step in their life adventure!

Hazy IPA

LB-088 Founders IPA 2024 - Hazy Days

Some people have a natural antipathy toward hazy IPAs... while we toyed with the idea of hiding the haze under a midnight malt, in the end, we opted to let the haze shine through and trust that the resulting brew will win over a convert or two.

Lager

LB-087 Vienna Lager - Der Wilde Hund

WHAT! A 70 degree (F.) day in Seattle in April?!?! Yep... making it a beautiful day to brew.

Luddite Brewing Collective Manifesto

A loose knit collective creating small batch culinary delights benefiting our community and ourselves.

Belgian Saison

LB-086 Sour Saison - Un Autre Salaud Sournois

The hiatus between LB-085 and LB-086 lasted too long. We hope that this modest saison helps rediscover the magic. Careful it could be another sneaky bastard?

Bière de Garde

LB-085 Bière de Garde - La Réine des Oiseaux

A malty French/Belgian/German saison? It might work.

Who We Are

A loose knit collective creating small batch culinary delights benefiting our community and ourselves. Lest you wonder… our definition of “culinary” encompasses beer.

German Kölsch

LB-084 Kölsch VI – La Réunion

As summer approached we finally brewed our second beer of 2023. Our list of unrealistic expectations has grown to include weather that is not too hot, not too cold, not too wet and not too dry... perhaps our expectations might be better placed in a refreshing Kölsch.

Brut IPA

LB-083 Founders IPA – 2023 – Another Brut

The 2022 Founders Brut was such a success that we decided to bring it back for another year!

Belgian Flanders Red

LB-082 Flanders Red (ish) - Cache of Inspiration

An attempt of replicate aspects of the classic Flanders Red using Lallemand's Philly Sour yeast.

German Gose

LB-081 - Gose VIII - Persephone's Dream

Our eighth Gose, an experiment with a new yeast, and a dip into Greek mythology...

Brut IPA

LB-080 - Founder's IPA - 2022 -The Brut

We chose a Brut IPA - " the champagne of bottled beer" - for this year's iteration. The crew remains as silly as ever even in these challenging times. Luddite emeritus Ned Wort the Churlish proclaims that this year's Founders is "The Best of the Best of all Luddite Brews."

Belgian Tripel

LB-079 New Beginnings - Belgian Tripel

A fresh start to a purpose-driven career...

English ESB

LB-078 Transcendence - English Robust Ale

We offer this drinkable, robust ale as a salute to black excellence, and the historic confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. It is one step towards a brighter future for all.

Scottish Wee Heavy

LB-077 Foresight - A Cassandran Wee Heavy

A sneaky beer that will have you prophesizing about the future of humanity before the second glass.

Baltic Porter

LB-076 Safe Harbour - Baltic Porter 2021

A dark and stormy year demands someplace safe to rest your head and drink your beer. Welcome to the Safe Harbor, where you might get a little too drunk... if you're not careful.

German Altbier

LB-075 Sanctuary - Dusseldorf Altbier (BIAB)

If one considers sanctuary to be sweet, one dimensional, and a bit underwhelming then they have come to the right place.

Belgian Witbier

LB-074 A Fool's Wit - Belgian Witbier (BIAB)

A light and drinkable beer with the soul of a saint and the wit of a fool.

IPA

LB-073 Founders IPA - 2021 (BIAB)

It is "a showcase for hops, yet remaining quite drinkable."

German Gose

LB-072 Gose VII - An Abundance of Caution (BIAB)

We had dreamed of brewing. We had plans to brew. Then it happened... the universe laughed at us.

German Kölsch

LB-071 Kölsch - for Ruth (BIAB)

We named this beer for RBG, who was worthy of our gratitude and admiration.

Belgian Farmhouse

LB-070 Keep the F* Back Farmhouse Ale (BIAB)

Experimental Farmhouse with BiaB. It was drinkably off target.

English Brown

LB-069 Northern England Brown Ale

Humble by style only, this beer is so drinkable.

Winter Ale

LB-068 Maggie IX

Another winter, another tail. We remix the old muse into something fresh and new.

Porter

LB-067 Empress Porter

A mere 67 brews into the Luddite adventure we were finally able to find a brew that merits the name "Empress".
