Laurelwood Releasing Two New Offerings

From Laurelwood:

Portland, OR – Laurelwood Public House & Brewery is venturing into creative brewing territory with it’s Portland Pale Project. The Portland Pale Project was formed to give the brewers creative licensing on their own pale ale recipes. This specialty product line will consistently provide the Portland craft beer market with new creative pale ales and some old favorites on a regular basis. The first pale project recipe included oatmeal, and the latest introduced lemon and lime zest. Brewmaster Vasili Gletsos had this to say about the new program, “Creating the Portland Pale Project allows us the opportunity to explore the depth of different interpretations of pale ale while allowing our brewers the opportunity to express the depth of creativity of their craft. Beyond that, we will have the chance to revisit favorites from our vast archive of recipes from the past as well as develop new classics. We can also create the space to explore new hops, malts and materials that haven’t found their way into our line up yet.”

Laurelwood is embarking on another new program that has a strong following. Cask beer joins the line-up Friday, October 26, 2012 at the NE Portland location. Cask is the British traditional way of serving ale. The beer has less carbonation in it, and is typically served warmer to allow the subtler flavors in the beer to shine through. Gletsos explains the program in two parts, “Cask is a traditional English style beer. While our beers have a decidedly Americanized spin, they are based on British classics and our ale strain is from one of the most popular traditional English breweries. Cask beer brings out the nuances of hops, malt and yeast expression, by lowering the carbonation levels and raising the temperatures, both of which numb the tongue. Cask provides variety. We are able to rack a cask from a standard batch of beer and condition it with different hops, spices, vanilla beans or whatever we like to create limitless possibilities or a simple and subtle treatment of our pub favorites for a one of a kind experience for our patrons.”
