looks like the death of workhorse (again)..... http://www.newschoolbeer.com/2013/06/laurelwood-brewing-to-contract-out.html#more
Ehh I'm sure it make sense for a business sense. They are one of those in-between breweries, not good enough to compete in the Portland market and not big enough to distribute to a wider less competitive market very successfully. Hopefully the local operation can concentrate on making good, new beers. Workhorse is good but there are plenty of other good/better IPAs to make it up for it.
If they just consistently pumped out the original Workhorse they would have people beating down the doors. That recipe change/lag when Chad left really hurt them. And now it shows. Hard to muster a lot of sympathy, especially since they closed the NW location, forcing me to cross PDX to get the goods.
Hi guys, saw this thread and thought I'd answer, to the best of my ability, any questions you have. Let me know. Thanks,
