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.
Featured 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."
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.
Brut IPA LB-061 Maggie VIII - The Brut We came up with a spruce-infused Brut IPA for our Maggie VIII winter ale... this one is closer to a New Year's champagne toast than our previous big winter ales. As long as there is spruce, Maggie is happy.
Belgian Farmhouse LB-060 Hi Strung Martin Farmhouse Ale Music was in the air dueling as Martins traded licks (thanks to the Carolina contingent and to our irrepressible Fleabag Socialist).
Baltic Porter LB-059 Proletariat Baltic Porter Brewed Labor Day weekend with a hearty "Sparge Responsibly" toast to workers the world over. The Baltic Porter is a great example of transforming a style developed in one region to meet the needs of a new region.
IPA LB-058 Founders 2018 Imperial IPA Ah, looking back on those halcyon days of Juneuary. Brewed on a sweltering, late July Saturday (okay, Seattle sweltering not real world sweltering) this is our 2018 rendition of the Founders IPA - a big imperial IPA.
English ESB LB-057 Juneuary London ESB They wanted malty. They wanted pale. They wanted what we made. The cabbal spoke and we delivered on an overcast reminder that Seattle weather can be a fickle companion.
Belgian Saison Katie & Nathan - LB-055a / LB055b / LB-056 Two brew dates and three beers to commemorate the marriage of our good friends and brewing comrades - Queen of Tarts (Katie) and Shift Happens (Nathan). The labels reflect the verbiage of the proposal (or so the legend goes).
IPA LB-054 Rude Mechanicals Late Hop IPA Back to work! Our first 2018 batch is a Luddite take on a late hop IPA.
Winter Ale LB-053 Maggie's Winter Tail VII Closing out the year with our seventh version of our tribute to Maggie Wort.
Red LB-052 Red Lightning IPA Another special request. This time in recognition of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. One batch with twelve labels tracing Martin's journey (warts and all) as well as contemporaneous goings on in the first half of the 16th century.
Pale LB-051 Concertina Pale A house concert special request honoring the music of Jenn Adams @ Frog Rest B&B.
Stout LB-050 Diamond Jubilee Milk Stout A celebration merely deferred not denied. Our 50th official brew.
