Milwaukie, Oregon – Breakside Brewery presents their first ever Milwaukie Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, October 11th at their production brewery & tasting room in Milwaukie, Oregon. For the first time the tasting room will be open to all-ages with kids activities as well as a special German-themed tap list and food menu from Breakside’s NE Portland chef Michael Delaney.

For a $15 entrance fee you get a special Breakside branded glass mug, 4 beer tickets and a $1 food coupon. Each ticket is worth a 4oz sample, 4 tickets for a full pint. Our special food menu includes brat, kraut, pretzels/ beer cheese & maybe even some German potato salad. Kids activities include face painting and crafts as well as handcrafted Root Beer from Ross at Atlas Soda.

Breakside will tap their new “Oktoberfest Lager” our take on the classic German style.

This Fest Lager comes just in time for the cooler days of fall. while many contemporary German versions of this style are very light and many American interpretations are hoppy and more robust, we’ve brewed a more classic German┬¡style M├ñrzen. it is lightly caramelly and golden with a beautiful orange hue. bready malt notes are offset by a light, herbal hop flavor. we use substantial amounts of Vienna and Munich malts to give this beer a delicate sweetness, but the body remains light and the finish dry. we’re sure that you’ll want to drink it by the liter!

This is as food­friendly as any beer we can think of. enjoy it in good company with a wide range of grilled meats, fall vegetables, and spicy dishes.

5.3% ABV 25 IBU malts: Vienna, Munich, Pilsner, Melanoidin hops: Opal
