A handful of pictures from the construction of our new brewery on 51st and Sandy.
We're adding nearly 1000 sq.ft. onto the existing building to house our brewery operations. This space will hold the office, grain storage, keg washing, mill room and the boiler.
What used to be a dinner theater soon will house the new Laurelwood Brewing Co. and Laurelwood Public House. Here we see the brewery location.
This pad took 3 truckloads of concrete itself. At nearly 4 feet thich it will hold our two grain silos.
A nice new epoxy floor from Cascade Floors. This stuff will hold up to hot water, heavy traffic and serious chemicals.
Before the big cooler install. Thanks to Rick and Philip from Arctic Refrigeration for all the help and to Imperial Manufacturing for the cooler. This was a big project.
It took three flatbed loads to get our new equipment to Portland. These tanks had been in storage since we bought the old Trask Brewing Co. equipment last December in McMinnvile.
Metro Rigging in Tualatin was a great help in placing the heavy equipment. Those guys are real pros. We'll leaving heavy lifting to them.
These two fermenters- straight from Europe, each hold 60 kegs of beer. They'll primarily be used for Free Range Red and Boss IPA.
Three new serving tanks came in on a flat bed. Unloaoding them was tons of fun- at least a 1000 pounds each.
Our serving tanks were made by the fine folks at Interior Stainless in Canada. Jim personally delivered the tanks and was on hand to help unload them.
The new serving tanks just barely fit into the cooler. Each one holds 60 kegs of beer. Yum!
These days it's brew beer then off to the construction site. We're all looking forward to having one job again.
