In Portland, the Laurelwood Brewing Company occupies two locations: their NW Public House in northwest Portland, and their Public House and Brewery located in northeast Portland, in the Hollywood district. This Hollywood location is relatively new and very kid-friendly, and since we had the kids with us on our Memorial … Continue reading
Got this press release yesterday, and I’ll have more to say about it. I find it pretty interesting. Stan has already picked it up and commented on it, too. Denver’s Flying Dog Brewery today announced plans to release what is believed to be the first “open source” beer to hit … Continue reading
Woody Creek White is Flying Dog’s new summer seasonal, the one they held a contest to name, and I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle from the brewery to review. It’s a Belgian Wit style of beer (commonly known as a "white ale"), a pale wheat beer brewed in … Continue reading

I had picked it up while looking for a Mild for the previous Session, not knowing it was a lager (and therefore unqualified), but game to try something new as always. Appearance: Very clear. Light copper in color, turning … Continue reading
