Solar Powered Brewbub in Portland, Oregon

Lucky Lab Brewpub, Portland, Oregon, is solar powered
Lucky Lab Brewpub, Portland, Oregon, is solar powered

Portland, Oregon is one of the most environmentally friendly cities on the planet, so it should not surprise anybody that this green, eco-travel destination has a solar-powered brewpub.

Portland’s Lucky Labrador Brew Pub is the first brewpub in Oregon to use solar power to brew beer.  Definitely a green restaurant, but without any green beer.

Solar panels on the roof generate energy to heat the water used in making beer. The renewable energy is also used to heat water for dishwashers and bathrooms.  Even on cloudy days, of which Portland is known to have more than its share, the solar panels can generate enough energy to warm water to 145 degrees.

Lucky Lab also is one of several pet-friendly Portland-area restaurants and micro brewpubs that welcome dogs in their outdoor seating areas.dog_clipart_puppy_bone
