why I like Laurelwood in three words: “Moose And Squirrel”
March 9, 2011 at 18:48
I’m a big fan of Laurelwood beers and I’d love to rock one of their T-shirts and hats, drink their beer from one of their specialty glasses, open a beer with a genuine Laurelwood bottle opener, and use their gift card to buy more beer.
March 9, 2011 at 21:04
At Laurelwood at least once a week, (live really close) and really think they have some of the best, most agreeable beer around. Would love to join them for a celebration.
March 9, 2011 at 21:55
I would love to win a Laurelwood swag bag because they are one of the BEST breweries in Portland, and that is saying a LOT. My favorite beer of theirs is the Vinter Varmer seasonal. It’s like drinking Christmas!
March 9, 2011 at 22:50
I love all of Laurelwoods beer. I want to win so I can help celebrate their 10th anniversary on March 18th.
Thanks
March 10, 2011 at 00:30
Love the fact my kids can have fun while I have a glass of beer! love Laurelwood!
March 10, 2011 at 00:31
Fingers crossed!
March 10, 2011 at 08:17
I can’t wait for the 18th. It is no surprise the it’s been 10 years. These guys know what they are doing. The only thing better than an IPA is an Imperial IPA. The only thing better than an Imperial IPA is a Laurelwood Imperial IPA. The only thing better than a Laurelwood Imperial IPA is drinking it with free swaq!!!
March 10, 2011 at 08:49
I hear such great things about Laurelwood but have never been. I would love to check it out with the help of this offer!
March 10, 2011 at 10:31
i’ve been deprived and haven’t had a good / official night out at a microbrewery, yet. help me fill the gap, Pipeline!
March 10, 2011 at 11:15

March 10, 2011 at 13:34
Beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 10, 2011 at 13:38
I love Laurelwood beer and would love an excuse go there again!
March 10, 2011 at 13:38
Laurelwood Pub b-day is the same as me mum’s b-day, March 18th. We will flock to the pub like a gaggle of geese and quench our thirst with delicious beer from Laurelwood!
March 10, 2011 at 13:45
Yah free beer stuff from a brewery that knows what they are doing! Swag it to me.
March 10, 2011 at 13:46
I am all about swag…and beer.
March 10, 2011 at 13:51
I love Laurelwood because the beer is fantastic, the food is tasty, the atmosphere is family-friendly…and it’s located right across the street from my boyfriend’s office, so I can take him out to lunch and treat him to an afternoon delight (the G-rated kind!).
March 10, 2011 at 13:52
I love Beer!!!! What more can be said :)I have heard so many good things about Laurelwood and have always wanted to go. I would love to have the night out and try some good beer…better than the bud light my husband buys :)
March 10, 2011 at 13:54
Oh man, i’m a big fan of their porter. In fact, it’s their porter that has ruined all the other porters out there for me! I would love to check this out!
March 10, 2011 at 13:59
Aside from their amazing beer, I love that Laurelwood is committed to local, sustainable, and organic practices.
March 10, 2011 at 14:17
I love Laurelwood Brewery. I would love to win some swag in a bag.. Can’t wait to rock a Laurelwood t-shirt.
March 10, 2011 at 14:21

March 10, 2011 at 14:25
Oh yeah– gimmie, gimmie some of that FREE RANGE RED! After a long day of teaching 8th graders, you are my saving grace.
Cheer to Laurelwood Beers.
March 10, 2011 at 14:25
Oh yeah– gimmie, gimmie some of that FREE RANGE RED! After a long day of teaching 8th graders, you are my saving grace.
Cheers to Laurelwood Beers.
March 10, 2011 at 14:46
Happy Anniversary Lauelwood Brewery! Your beer brings a smile to my mouth. Its so tasty-licious! I want…no need to wear and use Laurelwood swag as the proud fan I am.
March 10, 2011 at 14:48
I love Laurelwood because right when you land at PDX you can get a cold one!
March 10, 2011 at 14:52
I should win because I would make Laurelwood look crazy sexy when I’m out rocking their gear all over town and shouting how amazing their beer is. “THIS LAURELWOOD BEER IS THE SHIT! IT’S FREAKING CRAZY SMOOTH AND DELICIOUS……IS EVERYONE LISTENING TO ME?”
March 10, 2011 at 15:13
The best beer sampler in town!
March 10, 2011 at 15:16
laruelwood is the best of local craft. Putting quality and heart into every brew. Good food, great beer and better people!
March 10, 2011 at 15:17
Tasty beer (especially their porter), decent grub, and one of the friendliest head brewers around – sounds like a great Friday date!
March 10, 2011 at 15:18
Laurelwood has beer, what is not to like?
March 10, 2011 at 15:19
I would happily swim in a sea of their red beer but will tame my fantasies with the help of your generous package. Thanks for the chance!
March 10, 2011 at 15:20
I like Laurelwood’s beer (and logo). And I would like to win because beer ’tis yummy, and who wouldn’t love a swag bag?
March 10, 2011 at 15:21
i love laurelwood for the workhorse IPA–one of the finest amongst stiff competition here in beer city. if elected, i promise to don my free laurelwood shirt for one month straight!
March 10, 2011 at 15:24
I <3 Laurelwood, best beer around!
March 10, 2011 at 15:27
Laurelwood Red Beer
Takes me to joyful places
Raise your pints high, friends!
- a hoppy haiku
March 10, 2011 at 15:27
I love supporting local breweries, and I love Laurelwood’s espresso stout!
March 10, 2011 at 15:29
An organic love story:
Ten years ago I left the Portland as a high school grad, never having heard the word “treehugger.”
Four years later I returned from Bellingham where I got a college degree and hugged a few trees. I LIKED being a TREEHUGGER and hanging with my TREEHUGGER friends.
About five years after my return to Portland, I stepped into LAURELWOOD for the first time and ordered my favorite type of beer, a porter. It was at that moment I fell in LOVE with the TREEHUGGER. I love it so much I have never even thought of trying to get to know any other Laurelwood beer.
That said, a $10 gift card and glass might be the incentive to try something new and to hopefully fall in love with the rest of the Laurelwood family!
March 10, 2011 at 15:31
The kiddo can entertain herself and we can enjoy great beer and eats! Everyone wins.. WINNERS!!
March 10, 2011 at 15:31
Damn fine brewery, damn fine pig! What could be better?
March 10, 2011 at 15:35
BEER. Laurelwood has great BEER food, BEER service, BEER ambience, and BEER have been doing it BEER for some BEER time. I would BEER love BEER to take part BEER and celebrate BEER with some BEER swag. BEER
March 10, 2011 at 15:40
I’ve only heard good things about Laurelwood, and I’d love to try their amazing food and drink soon! What could be better than trying them out for St. Patrick’s Day! ;) Heck, I have that day off from work..pick me & I’ll be there!
March 10, 2011 at 15:40
because beer is awesome and I am a green mammoth!
March 10, 2011 at 15:50
The last time I flew out of PDX I found a Laurelwood pub in the airport IN THE AIRPORT and got a delicious pint before I flew to Spokane. Plus the hard working brewers at Laurelwood brew some of the finest in town!
March 10, 2011 at 15:53
I like Laurelwood because they have the best “special” beers at Zwickelmania, plus, they are creative brewers with a solid, consistent product.
March 10, 2011 at 15:55
Laurelwood beer, food and atmosphere is my precious!
March 10, 2011 at 15:56
Because i <3 their beer and their fries :D
March 10, 2011 at 15:58
i love their free range red. it tastes like soap, in the best way possible. like a real fancy soap.
March 10, 2011 at 16:01
I LOVE Laurelwood beers, especially the Vanilla porter and the Red. I even live close to the brewery but my crappy student loan budget doesn’t allow for much beer consumption. I would love to be able to partake in the celebrations.
March 10, 2011 at 16:01
The Laurelwood Organic Red is incredible! Love, love, love!
March 10, 2011 at 16:05
I like Laurelwood because it’s a very Oregon beer company. Can’t beat that. And it would be a lovely 30th birthday present for me. Yeah!
March 10, 2011 at 16:06
I want to win because I am awesome.
March 10, 2011 at 16:08
I love Laurelwood Brewery because they have amazing beer and food and are conscious of locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients! I can eat a fantastic meal and not feel guilty about it! (Plus the happy hour portions are huge and delicious!) Also love that we can bring our dog and sit on the patio! Fun for everybody. I want to win because winning feels good and free stuff is awesome! :)
March 10, 2011 at 16:12
I love beer, and would love to win free beer stuff!
March 10, 2011 at 16:16
Laurelwood makes going out for a beer and awesome food and being a parent with toddler and baby in tow live in harmony. The staff there is amazing. My 3 year old calls it the kitchen place because of the play kitchen.
March 10, 2011 at 16:19
I love the ‘samplers’ that they serve at their location near the 23rd. They’re the cutest way to get drunk. :)
March 10, 2011 at 16:26
I’m cheap. Free is the only way I take my wife out these days. Hook her up, she deserves it.
March 10, 2011 at 16:28
Laurelwood has great beer & food & uses local, organic free-range, grass-fed ingredients in most everything they make.
March 10, 2011 at 16:31
The 1st best thing is the beer. The 2nd best is the kid containment area.
March 10, 2011 at 16:41
laurelwood is underrated as a brewery in pdx-and that’s saying something given all the respect it gets. they make a great selection of excellent beers. i want to win so i can celebrate with them in style!
March 10, 2011 at 16:47
Laurelwood Red is one of my favorite beers. I try to patronizes places that carry it but always know I can go to brewery if needed. :~)
March 10, 2011 at 16:50
I love Laurelwood because they saved me during my last term of Spanish. Class was exponentially more enjoyable/tolerable after a Laurelwood happy hour under my belt! Laurelwood Rocks. I want to win because a. they are awesome in every way and b. now that class is over and I’m not going for happy hour every week I need little more Laurelwood in my life!
March 10, 2011 at 16:51
Finals week. Need beer and new brain.. but first and foremost beer! PIG ROAST? so there.
March 10, 2011 at 16:57
Tastes great! Less filling!
March 10, 2011 at 17:05
Happy Birthday, Laurelwood!
March 10, 2011 at 17:09
10 years in Beervana! Congrats Laurelwood.
March 10, 2011 at 17:09
I love Laurelwood beer. Happy B-Day!
March 10, 2011 at 17:11
Wow! I love Laurelwood for their yummy delicious garlic fries and their fabulous beers. Thanks Laurelwood!
March 10, 2011 at 17:15
Laurelwood has great beers (Laurelwood Free Range Red, anyone?) and the most friendly and awesome master brewer. We <3 Chad!
March 10, 2011 at 17:17
for such a fine establishment, Laurelwood Brewery does not ‘rest on its laurels’ but rather compels itself to ooh and ahh us with “The Big O†Organic Pale Ale.
March 10, 2011 at 17:45
I have never been, but I love beer and roasted pigs. Especially together.
March 10, 2011 at 17:48
Laurelwood Free Range Red is amazing! Great company, great food and they represent craft brewing in PDX properly. I wanna get a big ole keg of the red stuff for my garage…and a t-shirt/bottle opener. PDX Pipeline, you love me, I love you!
March 10, 2011 at 17:49
I am thus far unfamiliar with Laurelwood, which makes me just the kind of person Laurelwood wants to win something like this, so I’ll have a reason to try and add them to the list of local breweries I look for and support. Because I will!
March 10, 2011 at 18:18
PIIIIIGS!! I love pigs!!! Put them in my face.
March 10, 2011 at 18:23
I have a soft spot for this place for making a 3-hour layover I had at the airport . The waiter couldn’t find me (forgot I was sitting at the bar) to hand off a basket of garlic fries, and when I asked about them 20-some minutes later, I ended up getting a free meal. Thanks, Laurelwood. I’ve been meaning to check you out under better circumstances and the gift card(s) would be just the prompt.
March 10, 2011 at 18:31
It’s beer, I’m in love! Laurelwood Brewery, you rock!
March 10, 2011 at 18:33
Deranger, the king of big *ss Imperial Reds!
March 10, 2011 at 18:50
Happy Birthday Laurelwood! I’m a big fan of the red and a big fan of the brewery.
March 10, 2011 at 18:54
Craft beers are the best!
March 10, 2011 at 19:05
I love Laurelwood beer, and I’d love to have more which is why I’d like the gift bag!
March 10, 2011 at 19:07
LOVE Laurelwood because their food is consistently deeeeeeeeelicious!!!! Oh and you can’t go wrong with the beer! My husband and I have had some very great date nights at Laurelwood! And we LOVE and support that the food is local and sustainable. The sun porch isn’t too shabby either!
March 10, 2011 at 19:07
I like beer. Laurelwood makes beer. Therefore, I like laurelwood.
March 10, 2011 at 19:26
YES! (Please? :) )
March 10, 2011 at 19:26
I LIKE BEER!! WOOO!!! Laurelwood’s beer is really good as well.
March 10, 2011 at 19:28
Happy Birthday Laurelwood!
The big X birthday….wow, time has flown quickly. Here’s to 10 more! mmmm…beer!
March 10, 2011 at 19:47
Ya’ll are AWESOME!
BTW, very considerate neighbors as well.
Good politics.
March 10, 2011 at 20:33
Great pub-style atmosphere for parents to chill with their (well behaved) kids mid-day. Great beer and such nice folks behind the bar.
March 10, 2011 at 20:59
Me: This IPA is really, really good.
Bartender: It was rated the best IPA in the nation in a 2009 competition.
Me: !
I am so sad the NW location closed. :(
March 10, 2011 at 21:12
Have spent many quality hours in the Hollywood location. Bohemian bellydancers and beer is a great combination. I want to win for my husband, because I love him.
Congratulations Laurelwood!
March 10, 2011 at 21:16
I love Laurelwood beer, all of them really. But I would gift this swag bag to a great friend in Seattle that loves Laurelwood and doesn’t get it as often as I can.
March 10, 2011 at 21:25
Swags my favorite word, beer does quench the thirst, here piggy piggy… Here?
March 10, 2011 at 21:46
dig their organic brews, but can’t afford ‘em. this will finally let me realize a lifelong two-year dream!
March 10, 2011 at 22:05
This is a great bar
March 10, 2011 at 22:45
Laurelwood has the best food/drink/people. Laurelwood = #winning
March 10, 2011 at 23:47
…because a Laurelwood Red will be the perfect cure for my post Patty’s birthday hangover!
March 11, 2011 at 02:04
Laurelwood makes a wicked red, which surely is best enjoyed specially opened by a laurelwood bottle opener and poured into a laurelwood glass and enjoyed by a laurelwood hat- and shirt-wearing Lara.
March 11, 2011 at 07:40
GIVE ME BEER AND I’LL KISS YOU ALL OVER FOR A DIME!
March 11, 2011 at 08:13
I love Laurelwood, because Mike DeKalb and Christian Ettinger developed one of the FIRST editions of organic beers in Beervana. They set a standard for brewing excellence that made the rest of the nation wake up to craft beer. Who would have guessed that Chad Kennedy & Crew would actually take that reputation and rocket it thru the stratosphere. While the regular rotation is top-notch, it’s the seasonals and special batches that truly set them apart: Espresso Stout (one of the first “coffee” beers), Elvis Special Brew, Moose & Squirrel, Green Mammoth, Framboise, etc. If you haven’t gone in lately, hit the party and look at ALL the GABF and national/international awards Chad has received. With that in mind, why wouldn’t I want to win the “swag bag”: I am been a patron since they opened, and would love the swag so I can continue to advertise the greatness of LWB…wherever I go.
March 11, 2011 at 08:57
beer. cool.
March 11, 2011 at 09:41
the beer and the fries are both amazing!
March 11, 2011 at 10:19
Laurelwood is a wonderful tree and offers plenty of shade. Since I drank some crappy foreign beer, I obviously don’t know what the heck is going on, and winning something great ought to set me straight.
March 11, 2011 at 10:56
I love Laurelwood because Workhorse IPA is my favorite IPA! My boyfriend and I love the garlic fries. I can always tell when he has gone there without me because I can smell the garlic fries on him as soon as he gets home!
March 11, 2011 at 11:07
Great atmosphere and great food!
March 11, 2011 at 11:39
They have great beer, I’d love some swag!
March 11, 2011 at 11:40
Beer, Food, Fun, what’s not to love.
This would be a great night out for me. I’m a new mom that has been stuck inside my house for the last 5 weeks
March 11, 2011 at 12:53
I want to show off some Laurelwood love! Great beer and atmosphere. Thanks!
March 11, 2011 at 16:41
Laurelwood = Awesome. gimme that loot, haha
March 11, 2011 at 18:02
We love Laurelwood! They have one of our favorite happy hours in Portland. I’d love to use this as a congratulations dinner for a good friend!
March 11, 2011 at 19:35
Ive been there once with my coworkers and it was pretty awesome. I won’t sugar coat this thought, I totally had my backpack stolen this last week and my wallet was in it. I wont be able to access my bank account, (no id or debit card) until my temporary drivers license comes in the mail. (just moved here from ak) SO I have 2$ to my name until then, and boy.. I sure could use a beer..
March 11, 2011 at 21:54
Spring break in Portland! Friends, family and Laurelwood!!!
March 12, 2011 at 09:17
Beer is the food of the Gods. And Laurelwood is Zeus. I want to be enlightened!!! Plus, I’ll show up wearing nothing but the T-shirt and hat.
March 12, 2011 at 16:29
beer good
March 13, 2011 at 11:16
Because it’s a great place for the whole family, and their beer rocks!
March 13, 2011 at 11:45
mmmmm….. beeerrrr…..
March 13, 2011 at 21:29
artichoke dip is hands down the best!
March 14, 2011 at 09:31
Been going to the Laurelwood with the hubby since it opened – only wish they made gluten free beer now since I was diagnosed as allergic!!! It’s so hard to find good GF beer.
March 14, 2011 at 11:11
Laurelwood consistently makes some of the best beers around. Workhorse is such a great beer that I have to force myself to try others when I am there. And their garlic fries are the best I’ve had!
March 14, 2011 at 11:12
A big shout out to the Battle Ground Laurelwood! But really, who couldn’t love a place that has a squirrel on the bottle?
March 14, 2011 at 11:22
Got kegs of Laurelwood for my Wedding. Keep spreading the love with some freebies for me!
March 14, 2011 at 11:39
Best Beer in the world and an incredible place to enjoy great food while our kids can play!! Our home keg-orator is always home to a keg of Workhorse!!!
March 14, 2011 at 11:55
My family moved here 5 years ago from Ohio, and this was the first restaurant we visited. Having 3 small children, it was often challenging to find a restaurant where kids were welcome AND the food was good. We got a bonus with the Laurelwood since the beer was also fantastic! Five years later and it’s still our favorite Portland restaurant, and my husband frequents just to fill his growlers!
March 14, 2011 at 12:17
I already have a collection of clothing from one of my favorite breweries on Earth and would love some more so I can do even MORE to spread the word! Happy anniversary, Laurelwood!!!
March 14, 2011 at 12:20
Laurelwood is one of my favorite places to get a beer/food not only for the great selection of year round beers and the variety of seasonal beers, but for the wonderful service that they provide each time I come in. I would love to win the package to wear some Laurelwood gear around and who couldn’t use a laurelwood bottle opener.
March 14, 2011 at 14:01
I love the Laurelwood pub. The beer is good and the service is fantastic! I would love to sport some new gear this spring!
March 14, 2011 at 14:15
Hooligan!!!! Love me some Laurelwood. Great beer, food, and family friendly atmosphere :)
March 14, 2011 at 15:34
I would like to win because we had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at Laurelwood so it holds a special place in my heart!! Would love to go back!
March 14, 2011 at 17:00
My favorite place to stop for happy hour after hiking. Love the free range red.
March 14, 2011 at 19:27
Love the staff, the beer, the food, so glad we’ve found you!
March 15, 2011 at 04:24
For the beer of course! My fave is the Workhorse and I love your BG place.
March 17, 2011 at 15:17
Beer, glorious beer. That is all.
March 17, 2011 at 16:30
I think it is the awesome that great beer does not come with crappy food here…great beer, good food, friendly all around…WINNER!!!
March 17, 2011 at 18:07
I love Laurelwood because they brew incredibly good beer. I love them because their pubs are family-friendly. And, I love them because they opened up a brewpub in Battle Ground, Washington, so those of us who live in Clark County don’t have to trek across the river if we don’t feel like it! I want to win because I need a new beer shirt, and because the gift card would come in handy.
March 17, 2011 at 18:09
Just realized the contest is already over. I am a dumbass. Thanks.
March 17, 2011 at 21:27
I am a huge fan of Laurelwood
March 18, 2011 at 10:47
beer
March 18, 2011 at 10:49
I love legos.
March 18, 2011 at 13:27
Laurelwood showcases some of the BEST of Oregon’s craft beer. But they offer so much more–solid food that surpasses pub grub, a nice atmosphere and a really good staff. Cheers, Laurelwood, and hoppy anniversary!
January 2, 2012 at 13:19
hi all the best have a gud new year
a beilin
