Description
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.

Draft 12 oz pour at Hop and Hound. Glowing orange pour with a thin oily head. Orange fruit and spicy hops aroma. I love an IPA that fights in heavyweight ibu class. Orange and dusty hops. Juicy, with an appropriate bitterness that lingers. Ideal IIPA overall. Punches you good too.

12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel, and light resinous hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted dry caramel, bready malt, and faded hop resins. Pretty laid back, but reasonably balanced. It's alright.

12 oz can. Aroma is fresh citrus and tropical fruit mingling with caramel; normally caramel is a turnoff for me with IPAs, but here it seems welcome and inviting. Pours clear amber with a large beige lacy head with excellent retention. The taste is a definite letdown after that bodacious aroma, with the caramel malt completely dominating over the hop bill; it’s medium level bitter, but that caramel malt is too much. What seemed interesting in the aroma is too much in flavor. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. I had some hopes for this. It’s not terrible, but I just wish I could live in the aroma for the rest of my days without having to taste it, so said Copernicus to the flaming radish god.
