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

Today we are brewing a new beer called Stratus Pale Ale.  Stratus was created by Portland native and long time homebrewer Mark Easton.  Mark’s beer was hand picked by our Brewmaster Chad Kennedy as his favorite in the Oregon Brewcrew’s Fall Classic held this last November.  As one of the judges, Chad chose Mark’s beer and awarded him the opportunity to have his recipe brewed on our 15 bbl system.  Chad felt that quality of Stratus would translate very well on a larger scale and would be received with high marks from our customers.  Having tasted a sample that Mark brought us I would have to agree.

Mark describes Stratus Pale Ale as having “a unique high hop aroma with a very mild bitterness” measuring in around 40 IBUs.  He attributes this to his use of the hop varietal Citra, which he describes as having a very tropical or passion fruit flavor profile with less of the grapefruit style citrus notes that one would see in using a hop such as Amarillo or Cascade.  Mark brews on a ten gallon system at home and expects that brewing 465 gallons on our system will only make this beer “a bigger party!”  Look for Stratus Pale Ale to be released sometime in early July!

Peace, man, peace. Make beer not war. The Peacenik Pale is a sweet, light amber beer with an herbal yet fruity hop profile. A blend of Amarillo, Northern Brewer and Sorachi Ace hops lend this ale a round noble hop taste with a hint of tangerine. Drink a pint and feel the love.   Peacenik Pale will be on tap today at Laurelwood Pizza Company. Come by for a pint!
