Breakside Brewery releases collaborations with Sun King, Upright, and Pelican Brewing

Breakside Brewery continues their 10 year anniversary celebration pandemic style with more packaged beer releases than previously planned. Guava Lime Sparkler - a collaboration with Indiana's Sun King Brewery, and Five Flavors - a collaboration with Upright Brewing, are both available now in 16oz cans.

Despite setbacks at their original Dekum brewpub in N. Portland's Woodlawn neighborhood, the reopening is going well and a return to normal service is imminent. On July 28th, a reported drive by shooting took place outside of the dispensary near Breakside Dekum and one man was killed. The horrific event took place while the pub was opened and in full sight of customers and staff, if that weren't enough the following night's makeshift memorial was also fired upon. In cautious response to the tragic events, Breakside Brewery temporarily closed their brewpub.

Breakside Dekum will open again for to-go take out service only on August 12th, and plans to resume dine-in service the following week.

GUAVA LIME SPARKLER collaboration with Sun King Brewery

A fruited sour ale blended with a housemade club soda

 Breakside's sixth out-of-state collaboration is with Sun King Brewing from Indianapolis. This collaborative brew was designed virtually for the summer by marrying both breweries interest in playful flavors.

What is a Sparkler exactly? It's a fruited sour ale blended with a housemade club soda. Breakside employed their practiced processes for making a dry, tart, and textural sour beer and then designed a bespoke club soda (don't call it a seltzer!) to make the beer drink more like a refreshing summer cocktail. If 'beer cooler' is a thing, this is it: with big additions of guava and lime zest, we've imbued this with bright tropical and citric notes. Kick back, relax, and enjoy this unheralded summer of 2020. ABV: 5.2% IBU: 5

FIVE FLAVORS a farmhouse collaboration with Upright Brewing

Breakside's fifth in-state collaboration for their 10th anniversary is made with a true Oregon classic and an inspirational brewery for many. For the last eleven years, Upright Brewing has set the standard for excellence in brewing in Portland with its focused, eclectic, and thoughtful beers. For this collaboration, Breakside looked to Upright's early days and used the infamous French Saison yeast that typified their first beers. The beer we made began its life as a relatively straightforward farmhouse ale using some rich and bready heirloom pale and pilsner malts from California's Admiral Malting, and added magnolia berry in the whirlpool for some delicate floral, bitter, and sour notes. Then, the beer underwent a second fermentation using lager yeast, with the goal of mellowing the farmhouse yeast profile and tightening up the beer. The result is a hard-to-classify beer that's refreshing like a pale lager and dry and rustic like a classic saison. This is the sort of idiosyncratic beer that both Ben and Alex love: quirky, technically challenging, highly drinkable, nuanced, and layered. ABV: 6.1%

WHIRLIGIG WHEAT collaboration with Pelican Brewing

A wheat ale with orange and rhubarb

Our sixth in-state collaboration for our 10th anniversary is with Pelican Brewing Co, a true institution of the Oregon Coast and one of the luminaries of the Oregon beer world. For the past quarter century, Pelican has been the standard bearer for excellence in Oregon beer. With more GABF and World Beer Cup wins than any other brewery in the state, they have produced refined, clean, eminently drinkable, delicious, and exactingly precise beer under the leadership of longtime brewmaster Darron Welch. Whirligig Wheat is the result of these efforts. It's a satiating, unfiltered wheat beer that harkens to classic summer beers from great breweries worldwide. It is brewed with a fruity yeast strain and gets a jolt of bright citrusy tartness from a large addition of both orange and rhubarb late in fermentation. We bet it's been a blue moon since you've had a new wheat beer this delicious, nuanced, and refreshing!ABV: 5.4%
