Hey Everyone! I’m Nate, an employee over at the 51st location, and I wanted to take a sec to talk to you about a benefit taking place on Friday Jan 22nd at all Laurelwood locations. With help from our Owner, Mike DeKalb, and our Management staff, I’ve managed to organize a relief benefit, HOPS for HAITI, with all proceeds going to Mercy Corps. .50 cents of every PINT poured and $1 of every GROWLER sold will be donated to this cause. Please come out to any of our 3 locations and help us raise money for the people of Haiti. It’s the least we can do to help.
Thanks guys and hope to see you on Friday!
Released on Friday 1/14 at 51st and Sandy pub and Battle Ground.

Our Extra Special Bitter is considerably hoppier and more flavorful than its English cousin. Brewed in honor of Elvis’ January 8th birthday, ESB has “Vegas” loads of fresh hop flavor balanced with subtle caramel malt sweetness. Cheers to the King.
6.6% ABV, 60 IBU, O.G. 15º Plato

When we introduced Workhorse IPA as a year round beer in 2007 with our opening of the 51st and Sandy brewery and restaurant, we had little idea what a monster we created. The beer started out as a seasonal that I created for our in-house IPA contest. The beer beat out 5 other IPAs brewed by Laurelwood brewers and won people’s choice award. 
Last year it took the crown at the National IPA Contest held by Great Lake Brewing News. It has also become the best selling beer at all our pubs. Problem was though, that we could never get enough hops to distribute the beer outside of our pubs- in other words, if you wanted a Workhorse, you had to go to a Laurelwood. Well, with the addition of a couple of fermenters this summer and a glut of hops on the market, we’re going to change all that. We’re shipping the first batches of Workhorse to our distributors this month. While supplies to them will be limited right now, we’re putting together plans to make all of our beer more available. So thank you to all our supporters! As I like to say, “You keep drinking it and we’ll keep making it.”

We are closing our Laurlewood NW Public House location at NW 23rd and Kearney January through March. This coincides with the third construction project in 2 1/2 years on the NW 23rd and Kearney area. We are going to be doing some work to spruce the old place up.
Look forward for us in April bigger and better!
Cheers!
