Peaks and Pints Procrastination with Lazy Boy Brewing
You’re on the move. Constantly. Clearing your junk mail. Refilling the stapler. Changing your voicemail message. Retweeting someone’s Twitter blip. You never pause for more than 30 seconds because why not take those tiny moments and, well, do more things? What else are you gonna do, breathe? Feel? Merely … exist? And you take lots and lots of pictures of yourselves doing all the things because that’s what it takes to feel alive.
It’s time to stop and procrastinate. Get Lazy, if you will.
Peaks and Pints present Procrastination with Lazy Boy Brewing. Lazy Boy Brewing owner and brewmaster Shawn Lorin will slowly walk into Peaks and Pints at 5 p.m. Thursday, June 7 at point to his beers on tap.
Technically, Loring isn’t lazy. Far from it (we’re too lazy to make this an actual sentence).
“The ‘Lazy Boy’ name first originated with some friends here in Seattle that I homebrewed with back in the early ’90s,” says Loring.
Loring’s talent for brewing beer was first noticed by Pike Place Brewing in 1992. Loring worked for the Seattle brewery until he moved to Denver to work at Wynkoop Brewing, named after Edward Wanshear Wynkoop, a founder of the city. Loring then helped open Medicine Bow Brewing in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
See! Not lazy!
Loring arrived back in Western Washington to brew for the Puyallup and Seattle RAM Brewery locations before moving on to Druids Brewing in Kent.
“After Druids Brewing decided they didn’t want to brew anymore — a waste water issue — I decided to purchase the equipment,” explains Loring.
In 2006, fired up his newly purchased 15-barrel equipment to launch Lazy Boy Brewing to the cheers from his former homebrewing club and Western Washington.
“My father in law was going through a divorce at the time living on Camano Island; myself in North Seattle,” Loring says. “Everett seemed as good middle ground location for us. Plus, there wasn’t 400 breweries in the area at the time.”
Thursday, June 7, Peaks and Pints will tap Lazy Boy’s Bavarian Hefeweizen, Amber, Norwegian Death Milk Stout (think Iron Horse Irish Death) and the new Hazy Boy IPA.
“We brewed the Hazy Boy with copious amounts of flaked oats, wheat, lactose, juicy New England style yeast from Imperial Yeast in Portland and generous amounts of Eldorado, Amarillo, Azacca and Citra hops were placed in the whirlpool addition,” Loring adds.
Wander over to Peaks and Pints and procrastinate with Lazy Boy brewing. Maybe check it off your list. … Wait!
