About Sudden Death Brewing

Sudden Death Brewing is an independent craft beer brewery from Lübeck, born out of a passion for ice hockey and beer. What began with home brewing developed through recipe development and so-called gypsy brewing in other people's breweries into a business of its own: since 2022, beer has been brewed in the Werftquartier in Lübeck – with 20- and 40-hectolitre tanks, the largest brewery in the city. The range includes, among others, hazy IPAs, pilsners, smoothie sours and imperial stouts, filled into 0.44-l aluminium cans that offer protection from light and oxygen and are recyclable. Distribution is regional, nationwide in Germany and international via an own online shop as well as trading partners, bars and restaurants. The company also includes a brewpub with food service (pizza, also vegan and with gluten-free dough), brewery tours with tasting, an events programme with festivals, concerts and quizzes, and a merchandise range.
