A very Portland-esque establishment with good brew to boot.
Lucky Labrador
915 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Portland, OR

Beers Sampled:
- Organic Rose City Red: An excellent, full flavored red ale with subtle bitterness and a satisfying amber color.
- No Pity Organic Pale Ale: Nice organic pale, with a slightly amber color and very subtle bitterness. The hopiness of the pale ads a subtle bite that makes each sip seem very refreshing.
- Super Dog: Double IPA with good flavor and body and while the hops are strong, they do not overpower the beer. Very refreshing and satisfying.
- Steam lager - slightly hoppy rich lager with strong flavor.
- Hellasaurus Rex - smooth pilsner-like German beer with a rich malty flavor balanced by a slight hop crispness. Interesting and very unique beer. Limited availability.
