Booth: Breakside Brewing

Barley with two rows of kernels. As opposed to six-row. Two-row has more sugar for fermentation.

 

Took me a little while to "get" this beer, and what you were aiming for. I found it drank better at a slightly-warmer-than-fridge temperature. It really grew on me.

 

Delicious beer, Ben. Great WCIPA flavor at a nice ABV. I could drink this all the time. Would love to see this as well as some of your other beers in Illinois. Thanks for sharing this beer as part of the IPA Fest!

 

This brew is fantastic! It's a lovely break from the Southern CA IPA's. Cheers!

 

is the flavor mango or passionfruit? What hops are in this?

 

Nice one. Cheers! Look forward to my next Portland trip to stop in.

 

Ben, given there are so many breweries in Portland, are breweries there supportive of each other or quietly competitive?

 

If you don't mind me asking, what are the medals for??

 

What’s the difference between west coast and east coast ipas? This beer is excellent!

 

Have you tried any of your ex-colleagues Meanwhile brewery beers?

 

If maple is a very Vermont ingredient, what would be your very Portland ingredient? (That is legal to put in a packaged beer)

 

What new hop varieties are you looking forward to using?

 

What’s your favorite Dead Moon song?

HAHAHAHA!!! Duck Carcasses!!!! How high were you guys????

 

My wife and I both agree we think Breakside should do a collab with Stormbreaker Brewing (Portland.) We have rave reviews for both places.

 

now I need that Duck Beer.... great story

 

I noticed you were the only brewer to mention the malt bill for the IPA in the walkthrough videos. How important is the malt bill when slamming it with different hops?

 

Let me know when you need Canada Geese carcasses. We're flush here in IL. I kid, I kid. They are protected here.

 

Now I need some of that duck carcass beer.
