Breakside Brewery will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2020, changing up their seasonal lineup, adding new year-rounds and new series of beers. With two Portland brewpubs and a production facility in Milwaukie, OR, Breakside is continuing to show-off their diverse lineup and ability to brew a wide range of beers from all three locations. The 10th anniversary celebration features collaborations with national and Oregon brewers and kicks off with Seattle's Cloudburst Brewing on Star Sprinkles IPA.

Ben Edmunds, brewmaster for Breakside Brewery, said, “The brewing staff and I are thrilled to offer our customers this set of diverse and ambitious beers in 2020. As everyone in the craft beer industry knows, quality and innovation are essential to success these days. We’ll be releasing at least 30 NEW brands from the production brewery in addition to the beloved core beers that we make. We want to give Breakside fans beers that are delicious, novel, and fresh every time they grab one of our cans, bottles, or pints. I hope folks will try out many of our new offerings— especially our collaboration beers with friends from around the country— and that they’ll also revisit our award-winning flagship IPAs.”

Some highlights that are on the horizon for 2020 include: 

• Year-Round Series Changes: Rainbows & Unicorns, an extremely popular seasonal beer, now makes its way to the year-round lineup in six packs and draft.  The Seeker Can IPA Series will continue with at least six new beers in the lineup – one introduced every 6-8 weeks. The signature Breakside IPA, Wanderlust IPA, Pilsner, True Gold and Stay West IPA remain as part of the core lineup in 2020.
  
  
• Seasonal Streamline: The brewery’s core seasonal lineup will focus on three main beers, starting out the year with Salted Caramel Stout and following with Passionfruit Sour Ale in March. A new seasonal beer rounds out the year starting in September. 

• 10 Year Anniversary Collaboration Series: To help celebrate Breakside’s 10-Year Anniversary, it will be partnering with breweries from around the country on 12 different beers throughout the year – each new beer introduced every 5-6 weeks.  Some partners include - Cloudburst, Fremont, Pinthouse, Fat Head’s, Lost Abbey, Sun King, La Cumbre, Figueroa Mountain, and Cambridge.  

As usual, Breakside will continue to offer more experimental, barrel-aged and sour beers throughout 2020.
