LTD Brewing Company
Our History
For the founders of LTD Brewing, the love of brewing great beer started in 2003 at the University of Minnesota -where Blake and Jem first met. We needed a relatively inexpensive/legal way to obtain beer, so we thought... why not brew our own? At first we didn't care how it turned out (as long as it had some alcohol), but after a couple of batches, we started to get creative.
Honing the craft
We started asking, how can we make this beer better? Extract kits turned into an all-grain system and we continued to test new ideas. We started pushing the limits with new and innovative ingredients, methods, and inventing our own styles of beer. Some were hits, others were misses - some big misses (avocado, serrano & jalapeno pepper, cinnamon IPA). Soon the passion became an obsession. We started researching the science behind brewing which allowed us to push the limits even further. We were consistently brewing successes, and more importantly, we were able to replicate our success. We were loving the experience that every new brew gave us, fueling the fire more with every batch. After an inspiring local brewery tour, the obsession changed into something much bigger: what if we could share our experience with others? A dream was born.
