Press Release
PORTLAND, OR-Laurelwood Brewing Co. is joining forces with the Portland Thorns FC to create an exclusive beer for the 2022 season! “Golden Boot Lager” is a limited release beer that will be available in draft and 16oz cans in Providence Park during all Thorns and Timbers home matches as well as the Laurelwood Brewery in NE Portland and select pubs and retailers throughout the area beginning in April.
Golden Boot Lager is a crisp, light, golden lager that boasts clean malt notes and a delicate bitterness with help from Nugget, Cashmere & Strata hops. At 5% ABV, this is the perfect beer to enjoy while cheering the Thorns onto victory. The artwork for the labels was inspired by the Thorns’ 2022 kits, and were designed locally by the talented team at The Prohibition Co.
