About
First and foremost, Mike & Cathy opened Laurelwood as a reflection of what they wanted in a neighborhood restaurant. As the parents of young children, they wanted a family friendly environment that did not end and begin with being simply offered a high chair. As native Pacific Northwesterners, it was important to support our local farmers and purveyors & to support sustainability and the organic movement. As neighbors, it was important to create a place where friends and families could meet to have a relaxed dinner and a couple of drinks that supported their community. These are the factors that are most important to us and really help set us apart from other brewpubs and dining establishments.

Admin Note: In 2019, Laurelwood Brewing Co. was acquired by Legacy Breweries, Inc., parent company of Aspen Brewing and Ninkasi.

Pale Pony Ale from Laurelwood Brewing Co.
11 years ago
6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Always good to be #10. Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours gold (coppery in dimmer light) with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is very slight. Hops and malt, but too light for me to parse. Med body or nearly. Flavor is slightly sweet roasty malt, with some rather fruity hop. Having just had the Gilgamesh Hoot Owl Session IPA, I’d say this is not really very "high in hops". Still, it is decent and quite drinkable. But this pony pales in comparison.

Odd one. On tap at Laurelwood. Pours a mostly clear orange golden color with a medium white head. A fruity citrus nose. The flavor is mostly sharp lemons, sweet throughout, toffee perhaps. Odd. Just comes across as almost artificial which it isn’t.
