Wow this place was full of kids. They had a play area for the kids and that was brimming with kids and then kids running all over the place. Was I at Chuck E Cheeses? But I am glad because I had my kid with us also. We had a great time the service was good and they played to the kids when we needed it for the food. The beers are very good also and one of the first in America to be all Organic with the beers. I had a great sampler of beers and I loved the Green Elephant IPA. The dark beers where also very good. This is a must stop also for your Portland stops. Yes there are many to hit in Portland.

I visited the Laurelwood brewery with my Beaverton-based brother (himself a brewmaster).

Laurelwood is a nicer, more upscale brewpub. We settled in at the bar and did not eat, though the menu looked decent. I grabbed a Workhorse IPA, an 80IBU/7.6%ABV 'man's beer'. I enjoyed the over-the-top hoppines, but the alcohol kicks in quick--this one is better with a burger. I tried the Free Range Red, which had surprising flavor (at least it surprised me!)

With all the great brewpubs in Portland, it might be awhile before I get back to Laurelwood, but I'd definately make the trip back.

Annoyances: Laurelwood is a resturant first, brewpub second, IMHO.
