The Brewers Association released the craft beer industry statistics for 2008 and we're pleased to announce that Laurelwood is the 4th largest brewpub in the country. These numbers are based on the number of barrels sold (barrel=31 gallons) and we came in at 4,159 barrels for last year. A brewpub is defined by the Association as a brewery that sells at least 25% of it's beer onsite. In other words, we owe you, our fans, a big debt of gratitude. So, thanks for the support!
Head Brewer Chad will be on hand at 51st this evening to offer tastes of our latest seasonal…
Lucky 7 IPA
Brewed to commemorate our 500th batch at 51st. A blend of 7 hops and a healthy dose of dry hops late in fermentation make this one hoppy beer. Lucky 7 has a strong citrus nose followed by smooth bitterness. If you’re a fan of Northwest-style IPA’s then this is the beer for you. With 77 IBUs this beer was born to be “Lucky.”

Gayle
Single Hop Red
Alright, hop nerds. Here’s our latest single hop beer- with a little something for all you that like both kinds of music- Country and Western. Gayle was brewed exclusively with Crystal hops. This low bitterness hops similar to Mt. Hood and Liberty varieties. These pungent, Oregon-grown hops are used primarily for their aroma qualities.
