Discover the extraordinary beers of Sudden Death Brewing Co., an innovative independent German craft brewery renowned for its intensely juicy Hazy IPAs, powerful Double IPAs and extravagant experimental releases. Founded by Eric Nagel and Oliver Schmökel, two lifelong ice hockey enthusiasts from Timmendorfer Strand on Germany's Baltic coast, Sudden Death was inspired by their travels to America and their passion for the Boston Bruins. After developing their recipes through homebrewing and contract brewing, the founders opened their own brewery in Lübeck in 2022. Located in the city's vibrant Werftquartier district, Sudden Death combines American craft beer influences with German brewing craftsmanship, producing adventurous beers characterised by bold flavours, imaginative recipes and distinctive artwork. Its philosophy celebrates creativity, individuality and exceptional drinkability, delivering what the brewery describes as rock and roll in a glass.

Best known for its expressive hop-forward beers and adventurous limited releases, Sudden Death produces some wonderfully distinctive examples of contemporary German craft brewing. Ghoul Gallery is a beautifully hazy IPA showcasing the juicy tropical fruit and citrus character associated with modern New England brewing. Alchemy of Faith, created in collaboration with Northern Monk, combines Citra, Mosaic, Columbus and Simcoe hops for layers of citrus, tropical fruit and resinous complexity. For something more indulgent, Murder Mime is an extravagant Smoothie Sour offering a thick, fruit-forward drinking experience, while Submerged explores the darker side of the brewery's creativity with a powerful, richly flavoured Imperial Stout. Beyond these experimental creations, Sudden Death also produces traditional Pilsners, refreshing Lagers and distinctive Black IPAs.
