Lumberbeard Brewing

impressive place here near the top of the hill on the east end of downtown, a place i have been looking forward to opening since they put the name on the building some months ago. i just cannot believe how much beer is happening in spokane right now, and how quickly it seems to still be proliferating, wow! the place is nice, clean and modern feeling, very much a chill but trendy taproom, the name and logo seem gimmicky, but the place and the beer are better than that for sure, comfortable feel in here, a minimalist and clean aesthetic, almost scandinavian or something, well lit but mellow, and with enough touches to feel cared for but not overdone. pleasant and almost upscale to me, but the dude behind the bar was relaxed and smart and cool to me, and they had a strong list of beers on, everything seemed focused on and refined, even the liquid i tasted. i liked their kolsch, but was really impressed with a nitro dispensed local indaba coffee dry stout, really super good! it seems like the beer is way ahead of the curve, the service is well schooled and chill, and the space is big but inviting, i would definitely recommend a visit. this will become a regular haunt for me when i am in town i suspect, the best of the newest breweries so far, at least in my opinion!

An open and airy, modern and spare tap room with a light color scheme inside and fairly tall ceiling. They have many different styles and they do them well. The doppelbock was the favorite of the 4 tasted. This is clearly a top brewery in town.
