Laurelwood Brewpub Pops-Up inside Breakside Brewery
Laurelwood Brewing is popping back up in Portland for a one-night only mini-remake of their now closed NE Portland restaurant and taproom. The classic Oregon brewery is celebrating their 25th anniversary with renewed energy from a partnership with Buoy Beer Co. to bring back some old school favorite beers and limited seasonals.
On Wednesday, March 18th the Laurelwood Brewpub pops up inside Breakside Brewery’s NW Slabtown location from noon to 9pm with beers, new Lwood merch, crowler fills of cans to-go, and some of their favorite dishes from the old restaurant.
Laurelwood Brewing was one of Oregon’s most popular brewpubs after it opened at 4035 NE Sandy Blvd in 2001. Laurelwood was known for their family friendly pubs and distinct Pacific Northwest beers when that descriptor was developing into flavor profiles recognized worldwide. Laurelwood grew to include locations in the Sellwood neighborhood, Northwest Portland, Battle Ground, Washington, the PDX Airport, and to their last remaining brewpub at 5115 NE Sandy Blvd that closed in 2023 and became Black Water a vegan metal pub and venue. These days Laurelwood have no locations, but has transformed into an affordable grocery store and wholesale brand that remains popular through local distributor Maletis Beverage even though we rarely see these beers on draft.
Laurelwood Brewing is celebrating 25 years this year, and the re-release of their popular past seasonal Red Elephant IPA is marking the occasion. At Breakside Brewery’s NW Slabtown location they will have Red Elephant on draft, along with fan favorites like Free Range Red and Workhorse IPA with 4-packs available to-go.
