Press Release

PORTLAND, OR – The team at Laurelwood Brewing Co. has been hard at work and has a lot to be excited about in  2023. For starters, the 22-year-old Portland brewery can’t wait to show off their new look; complete with new  color schemes, updated logos and artwork for their packaged beers. Additionally, they are adding three new  year-round beers in package and draft to their existing core lineup of Workhorse IPA, Free Range Red Ale, Kids  These Daze Hazy IPA, and Brew Deck Dry-Hopped Lager.  

Laurelwood Brewing Co., with the help of Portland-based design firm - Prohibition Co. - has been working to  update and refresh their brand’s look since early 2022. “We didn’t want to veer too far away from our existing  brand identity,” says Laurelwood founder Mike De Kalb. “But we really wanted to create an updated look for  our brand that better connects all aspects of our brewery, from packaged beer on the retail shelf to our  taproom experience. We’re thrilled with the work Prohibition Co. has done and we look forward to working  with them on future projects.” 

For the 2023 brand calendar, the brewing team opened the vault and brought back two familiar favorites for  year-round availability – Piston Pale Ale and Mother Lode Golden Ale in six-pack 12oz cans and draft. “Piston  Pale and Mother Lode Golden are excellent beers and constantly requested brews in our Taproom. We’re  excited to bring these beers back and add them to our solid core lineup,” says Laurelwood Head Brewer, Paul  Plett. Another familiar long-time draft-only beer, The Wood Lager, will also be released in six-pack 16oz cans for the first time ever. To add to their core beers, Laurelwood Brewing Co. also has an exciting rotating  seasonal calendar planned for this year including a brand-new Imperial Series including National Imperial IPA Champion, Megafauna Imperial IPA. All seasonal releases will be sold in the 16oz format as well as draft. Look  for these new beers to be launching throughout 2023 and keep an eye out for all new packaging to hit the  shelves in Spring.

Buoy Beer Company announces updates to their Year-Round, Rotating, Lager, River, and Tall Buoy series, while announcing the new Benefit series.

Discovering and supporting new organizations is something we look forward to every year, and we are happy to announce the inaugural Benefit Series partnership will be with Ocean Blue Project.  

Ocean Blue Project is a grassroots, boots-on-the-sand nonprofit. Their mission is to rehabilitate and conserve the world’s oceans, beaches, and rivers to allow wildlife and human communities to thrive. Everything flows downstream and the ocean is a mirror reflection of our city streets, which is why they educate, empower, and lend their technical expertise to communities and governments around the world to support microplastics recovery, river restoration, and programs to teach kids to be stewards of the earth and wildlife.     

“We’re excited to partner with an Oregon-founded organization and support their mission to remove garbage from the oceans,” says David Kroening, Co-Founder. “We all love the area in which we live, and it’s a great opportunity to help offset some of the environmental impacts of Buoy’s building collapse last year. We truly appreciate the community helping us clean up and we’re looking forward to continuing our efforts this year through donations and organized events.” 

During the Benefit Series, 3% of sales will go to Ocean Blue Project. Stay tuned for details about organized cleanup opportunities around the area.
