7th ANNIVERSARY RELEASES 🎉🍻

Saturday, October 3 – 10AM CST

ALL 2026 (16.0%)

Each fall, we select our best barrels and blend All to celebrate our Anniversary. 2026 marks seven years for our humble little brewery.

Cheers to all of you who support us and allow us to live out our dreams.

All 2026 is an imperial stout aged 20 months in bourbon barrels before being conditioned on toasted coconut, toasted hazelnuts, cinnamon, and cacao.

DESTROYER a Raconteur Ale (16.3%)

Last released for our 3rd Anniversary, Destroyer is a barleywine project designed to be an extreme expression of raw ingredients. A challenge: push the simplest brewing inputs to their breaking point.

Destroyer is composed solely and in extreme amounts of Maris Otter pale barley, Citra hops, and our favorite yeast strain. It was boiled for a lengthy period (a total of over 40 hours), rested in stainless for several months, and then was laid into bourbon barrels for thirty-two months. Four years in the making, Destroyer 2026 pours a rich, deep mahogany with minimal carbonation.

Barleywine ale, a largely undefined, amorphous style, is a blank page of sorts, and one must not come lightly to the blank page. Destroyer, a Raconteur Ale, does not.

RELEASE DETAILS ✍️

– ALL 2026 and DESTROYER will be sold as a two-bottle set (one bottle of each). Sets will be available for purchase in-person here at Lua AND online via Toast on Saturday, October 3rd starting at 10AM when we open for brunch service. Limits will be two sets for those in-person and one set for those purchasing online. Priority will go to those physically here at the brewery.

– Proxies are allowed. Just be sure to have their name & order number ready for us when you’re picking up. Bottle sets must be picked up by Sunday, October 11 by end of day.

– Draft pours of ALL 2026 and DESTROYER: A Raconteur Ale will be available all day long until the kegs run dry.

Can’t wait to celebrate here, with all of you who have made the last seven years possible
