Breakside Brewery & Tasting Room (Craft Beer & Brewery in Milwaukie OR)

Breakside Brewery & Tasting Room in Milwaukie, Oregon, is an employee‑owned powerhouse that turned a modest 2010 start in Northeast Portland into a regional heavyweight cranking out roughly 30,000 barrels a year. The moment they added a production facility and a taproom in 2013, the whole of Oregon began to take notice, and by 2019 the staff took the reins, spreading the operation to six venues—including a breezy spot on the coast at Astoria.

Inside the Milwaukie room you’ll find 24 taps that jump from hop‑crazed experiments to sober classics without breaking a sweat. Their flagship Year of Magical Thinking (a bold, pepper‑spiced brew) and the impeccably smooth Sublime Helles Lager are proof that they love both imagination and precision. Take‑home options range from quirky cans to sturdy bottles, and the only food on offer is chips and salsa—nothing to distract from the real star, the beer.

The whole ethos is simple: craft above all, pretension nowhere (the staff even let the beans talk). With awards lining the walls and a dedication to innovation, Breakside proves you can run a serious brewery without taking yourself too seriously.
