Laravel route middleware outputting my log - php

Question

I'm trying to run some middleware on my routes via my package's service provider before the routes run in my Laravel project but I'm not seeing my var_dump despite running php artisan route:list showing that the BeforeMiddleware is applied. Am I using the wrong middleware?
My service provider:
<?php
namespace Company\FudgeInboundManagementBridge;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Company\FudgeInboundManagementBridge\Http\Middleware\BeforeMiddleware;
class FudgeInboundManagementBridgeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->registerFiles();
}
/**
* Register files
*/
protected function registerFiles(): void
{
Route::middleware(BeforeMiddleware::class)->group(function () {
$this->loadRoutesFrom(__DIR__.'/routes/fudge-routes.php');
});
$this->publishes([
__DIR__ . '/config/FudgeInboundManagementBridge.php' => config_path('FudgeInboundManagementBridge.php'),
], 'config');
}
}
My middleware:
<?php
namespace Company\FudgeInboundManagementBridge\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class BeforeMiddleware
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
var_dump('hello from before middleware - bridge');
die;
// return $next($request);
}
}
Seems like it's not triggering?
