Sole Syndicate Brewing

100 State St #122, Ludlow, MA

Sole Syndicate Brewing (formerly known as Iron Duke Brewing) is a small vintage brewhouse nestled in the Historic Ludlow Mills. Hand built piece by piece by family and friends, they offer a wide selection of hand crafted ales, lagers, and fine foods from all ends of the beer and culinary spectrum.
The word "sole" embodies more than just craftsmanship and authenticity; it's a testament to our rich history and unwavering dedication to our craft. On the other hand, "syndicate" speaks volumes about collaboration and the unity of our diverse family members. In our journey, we have encountered countless hurdles such as the unforgettable eviction ordeal, considerations for relocation, our ambitious expansion plans, and the pivotal decision to rebrand. Each of these challenges has shaped us, allowing us to grow stronger, triumph over adversity, and craft truly remarkable offerings that embody our values and spirit.


What to drink


4 A.M.

New England IPA


Ever wonder what goes on in the 4 a.m. hour? When it's not yesterday and tomorrow hasn't begun? At Iron Duke, this is the time we spend dreaming up our best ideas. This rarely experienced hour of 4 a.m. has yielded a heavily hopped creation. We brew this one to honor all of the people who work late and rise early.

6.9% ABV, 78 IBU

Stud Finder

Imperial/Double IPA


While we used more tools during construction/deconstruction than we can count, some tools standout among the crowd. Stud-Finder is the second IPA offering in our Construction Series of IPA's. This Double IPA packs a bigger, bolder Hop and Malt punch than its Dead Nuts counterpart. We're very excited to have experimented with Topaz, an Australian hop variety, to stand up alongside with our American variety favorites.

7.7% ABV, 87 IBU

Dead Nuts

Rye IPA


Amidst the whirlwind of construction dust and debris, shouts of "It's Dead Nuts!" Would echo throughout the brewery. A phrase that denotes perfection in symmetry, balance, and harmony. It's what we've done with our American IPA. Rye malts counter-balance American Hops to give our flagship IPA a smooth yet robust finish.

5.6% ABV, 70 IBU


Eviction Notice

Black IPA


Making routine trips to the post office exciting again. This semi-dry Black IPA is a beautiful balance of citrusy-resinous American hops and chocolate malt. 20lbs of roasted pecans adds a little extra roasted goodness.

8.5% ABV, 86 IBU

Baby-Maker

Irish Porter


This dark ruby colored ale that's slightly malty sweet with a delightful roasted finish. No parent likes to admit they have a favorite, but Baby-Maker holds a special place in our hearts

5.4% ABV, 24 IBU

The Common

Kentucky Common


A prohibition-era style beer brewed with Malted Rye and Flaked Maize famously designed to quench the thirst of the working class.

4.6% ABV, 21 IBU


Generosity

Lager - American Amber


Generosity is our way of saying thank you to the countless friends and family that have been so generous with their time. An American Lager with Bourbon soaked Vanilla Beans straight from Madagascar.

5.8% ABV, 10 IBU

Sinker

Stout


Our breakfast stout is a hearty treat for any beer drinker. It's brewed using traditional ingredients of a breakfast stout but with a little extra chocolaty goodness that makes it a beer to savour.

5% ABV, 29 IBU

Putts Bridge

Brown Ale


A prohibition-era style beer brewed with Malted Rye and Flaked Maize famously designed to quench the thirst of the working class.

6.7% ABV, 33 IBU


156 Barrel Aged (Nitro)

Bourbon BBL Imperial Porter


A combination of Licorice and Belgian Candi Sugar imparted by generous amounts of Northwest Hops give this Porter the backbone of a moose...and then just for fun, we put it on Nitro.

12% ABV

208

Lager - Imperial


This Imperial Lager is a celebration of our continued hard work and resilience as a local brewery four years running. We hope you enjoy this limited production lager as much as we do!

9.7% ABV, 89 IBU

Ginger Kerfuffle

Brown Ale


First fermented as a lager and sour conditioned in our dairy tank coolship with heaps of freshly diced pineapple. Over 50 pounds of ginger was then blended into this concoction to create a kerfuffle of flavor.

5.2% ABV, 10 IBU
