Brewery Profile

Breakside Brewery - Beaverton

Beaverton’s beer scene sits within the larger Portland-area brewing landscape, and this outpost gives visitors a way to experience one of the region’s better-known brewery groups without going into central Portland. Breakside began in 2010 as a restaurant and pub brewery in Northeast Portland and has since grown to eight locations, including this Beaverton presence and a taproom on the Oregon Coast in Astoria. A visitor walking in should expect a Breakside taproom experience built around the brewery’s current lineup rather than a single neighborhood brewpub identity. The broader company is now employee-owned and produces on a regional scale, so the Beaverton stop connects local drinkers with beers from a brewery whose footprint extends well beyond its original pub.

Travelers coming through the Portland area often look for range: a chance to compare established Oregon breweries, try seasonal or rotating pours, and understand why the region remains a major beer destination. Breakside fits that kind of itinerary because its portfolio is described as diverse and has received repeated recognition, including multiple Brewery of the Year honors at the Oregon Beer Awards and awards at the Best of Craft Beer Awards. The brewery expanded in 2013 with a Milwaukie production facility and taproom, giving it capacity for wider distribution, and its beer now reaches several western states, British Columbia, Alberta, and Japan. For visitors, the Beaverton location can serve as a convenient stop to sample from that larger program while staying on the west side of the metro area.

Specific amenities, hours, food service, parking, and seating details should be checked directly with the Beaverton taproom before visiting, since they can change and are not always consistent across brewery locations. The taproom is also the place to confirm the day’s pours, any limited releases, and whether packaged beer is available to take away. Visitors comparing Oregon breweries may want to ask what is pouring from the core lineup versus what is seasonal or location-specific. Because Breakside operates multiple sites around the Portland area, this location can be planned as a standalone Beaverton beer stop or as one part of a wider brewery route that includes other Breakside taprooms or nearby producers.

Breakside Brewery operates eight locations throughout the Portland area, including a taproom on the Oregon Coast in Astoria, Oregon. Originally established in 2010 as a restaurant and pub brewery in Northeast Portland, it has grown into a regional brewery producing 30,000 barrels annually. The 2013 expansion to Milwaukie added a production facility and taproom with the capacity to produce 40,000 barrels per year. Breakside maintains a diverse portfolio of award-winning beers, recognized with multiple Brewery of the Year honors at the Oregon Beer Awards and accolades at the Best of Craft Beer Awards. Distribution reaches Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, California, British Columbia, Alberta, and Japan. Since 2019, Breakside has operated as an employee-owned brewery.
