Vast craft beer list & elevated American eats in industrial style
"Since its eponymous IPA was given the gold medal at the Great American Beer Fest in 2014, Breakside has been on a roll. A decade later, the brewery shows no signs of stopping — it took home a sizeable chunk of hardware again at the 2023 Oregon Brewing Awards, nabbing a total of seven medals in different categories. Visitors will find everything from sandwiches to nachos at Slabtown, Lake Oswego, and Dekum brewpub locations, or just grab a brew at its Milwaukie location, where customers are instead encouraged to bring their own food." - Ron Scott
"Breakside Brewery's Woodlawn Block Party is one of the highlights of the Portland Beer Week." - Janey Wong
"But the brewpub beer snobs absolutely cannot miss, both for its food and its beer, is Breakside Brewery." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Breakside's Dekum location isn't where most of its beers are brewed—that would be its Milwaukie location—but it's the homiest of the three breweries, with vibrant polished wood surfaces everywhere and tall, wide booths for groups. There's a good range of beers here—a pilsner, sour, and session beer—but what defines the brewery is its emphasis on the IPA. Its flagship Breakside IPA is a winner, but at the taproom there are often five or six different takes on the hoppy ale, from hazy to fresh-hopped to fruit-infused. They're not always bottled, so a visit to the brewery will allow you to sample the full, rather impressive, gamut." - Alexander Frane
"A Portland, Oregon brewer that relied heavily on draft sales before the pandemic (about 70% of output in kegs) and found that shifting to packaged beer softened the financial blow but has not restored previous volumes; operations are running at roughly half capacity, and the transition highlighted challenges in distribution and increased lead times for packaging and other suppliers." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
