On August 27th 2010, Brewmaster Chad Kennedy and the Laurelwood brewing team brewed their 1000 batch of beer at the 51st and Sandy brewery. We moved into our current brewery in March of 2007 and our first batch of beer was brewed on March 4th.   In celebration of this momentous 1000th brew, Chad decided to bring back an old favorite.   Piston Pale was on our original line up and was semi-retired in 2007.  Chad will be tapping Piston at all Laurelwood locations this Friday Sept 3rd.  Come in for a pint and raise a glass to batch number 1000!

P.S. Just incase you are interested our first batch here was Organic Free Range Red.

Bay Laurel Ale

One of the more unique beers we’ve created, this ale was made with 6 different malts including, barley, rye and wheat. We added 4 varieties of hops to this pale ale in addition to a dose of fresh Bay Laurel leaves in the fermenter and conditioning tank. The result is a balanced pale ale with the pleasing aroma of fresh bay leaves- quite distinct from the dried version.

OG 13 Plato    /    40 IBUs   /   5.7%  ABV
