Lucky Envelope Brewing Celebrates a Decade in the Craft Beer Industry
Washingtoner/10289116

SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Lucky Envelope Brewing is celebrating 10 years in the beer industry! The brewery will kick- off their anniversary celebrations on Saturday, May 3^rd with red envelope giveaways and four exciting new beer releases.

"We're so excited to be celebrating our 10^th Anniversary next month! The craft beer community has been so supportive of us from the early days, through a pandemic, and now as we prepare for another decade of sharing our culturally inspired beers!" says Co-Founder Raymond Kwan.

This year's celebratory lineup includes a 10° Pilsner, a Calamansi Lime Sour, an Anniversary West Coast IPA, and a Fonio Grisette brewed with an ancient West African grain. Barry Chan, Head Brewer and Co-Founder, shares, "Fonio is an ingredient I'd been hearing about more and more in recent years, especially from respected brewers like Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River, who've both incorporated it into their beers." His curiosity turned to inspiration after tasting Russian River's Fonio Belgian Blonde at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival. "I was immediately intrigued," he says. "I knew I wanted to experiment with it in our brewhouse. Fonio isn't just promising for brewing - it's also highly nutritious and grows well in arid climates without irrigation, making it a compelling climate-resilient crop. And as a bonus, it's way more delicious than I expected!"
