Portland, Oregon is regularly rated among America’s top craft beer cities. According to oregoncraftbeer.org, it’s estimated that 53% percent of all draft beer consumed in Oregon is brewed in Oregon. There are currently 58 breweries in Portland and 84 in the Portland metro area.

I recently had a chance to visit Portland, Oregon, and while I did not visit all 84 Portland-area breweries, I did manage to check out 14 stand out breweries.

Breakside Brewery, an idea that began on a kayak trip in Alaska, is located in a unique neighborhood brewpub on Dekum Street in North Portland. In addition to this location, Breakside operates a 30 barrel production brewery in Milwaukie, OR.

Bar Gifts

In 2014 Breakside was awarded with the Gold Medal for American-Style IPA at the Great American Beer Festival for their flagship IPA, Breakside IPA. This beer was also named one of the 100 Best Beers In The World in Men’s Journal’s and the best beer in Oregon by The Oregonian.
