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.

Piston Pale Ale from Laurelwood Brewing Co.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Laurelwood Piston pale ale on tap at CBB. A clear golden copper pour with a dense white head of foam. The nose is fruity piney hops, west coast all the way. Medi bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is earthy fruity hoppiness well balanced by caramel malts but with an ascerbic bitter hop aftertaste. Delicious and a pleasant surprise.

Draft - Tart, salty, soapy and citrus. Clearish gold with a small white head. Sweet grainy, tart, light slat and a clean finish. Very solid.

Sometimes a beer’s name alone can sell a pint. My situation was no exception. Draft pint at special brews. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a fizzy head. Soft grainy aroma. Belgian yeast flavor throughout. Exactly what I expected, which was good. Overall, I’d definitely drink this again.

Draught at Portland Craft, Vancouver
Hazy golden color with generous compact head. Could be a nice dry and smooth Pale Ale with good citrusy hops, a bit sweaty; but it also has some diacetyl, and some vegetable bitterness in the final.
Not bad, but flawed.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose smells infected, with notes of fart, skunk cabbage, and boiled vegetable runoff. Flavour is thankfully not quite as bad, but is definitely problematic, with some infected diacetyl notes, boiled vegetables and biscuity notes. Something quite badly wrong here. Drain pour.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with medium beige head that lasts leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is raisin, vanilla, and roast. Thin mouth, very sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, toffee, light bitterness, really good.

Bottle share. This group really likes their sours. I’m finding I enjoy the fruity sours more than the plain. Brings more depth. For this one, much more wine-like (to me anyway), grape-like flavor. Not bad, but not my favorite.

750ml bottle pours out a dark golden topped with a small head. Nose is sour tartness wine barrel and some green apple. Taste is more of the pucker and light fruit.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Initial scent is right on the money, but faint. Light golden body with small airy head. Taste is also in the zone,floral and spicy, but again just shy of the mark. Finish is dry and chalky, almost puckering. Decent but could be more full bodied, and should be quenching, not make you more thirsty.

Beautiful reddish amber pour with small creamy head. Light malt aroma, taste introduces some crisp hops to the malt backbone. Dry, chalky, bitter finish.
