Episode 87: Bret Gordon of Lumberbeard Brewing

March 15, 2024

There have been plenty of episodes where you’ve heard us sing the praises of the fantastic breweries in Spokane, Wash. It’s time we grabbed the story behind one of the best.

Bret Gordon, founder, and head brewer at Lumberbeard Brewing, hung out with the team to tell the story of his fantastic brewery and his origins in the beer industry. Lumberbeard has been making waves since opening in 2020 and their momentum hasn’t bucked one bit; holy cow it was easy to see why as we tasted through his various fresh cans and his truly world-class barleywine, Anniversary Ale: Year 4.

Bret also gave us the scoop on his brewery’s name, the work behind his fantastic can designs, their iconic logo (totally a self-portrait … we don’t care what he says), and much more. Crack a can of Lumberbeard and tune in for the scoop behind one of the best new breweries in Washington.
