According to an article from New School Beer, Breakside Brewery aims to open at the former Locust Cider space in Vancouver at 700 Washington Street.
“By the end of April 2025, Breakside will have their first location outside of Oregon as they take over the space formerly occupied by Locust Cider in downtown Vancouver, Washington. Breakside had been looking at opening a Washington location for some time, and got very close to securing a spot in Camas.”
“The Breakside Vancouver taproom is about 2,000 sq. ft., with 60 indoor seats, 10 bar seats, and 20 outdoor seats. It will operate as a full-service Breakside, similar to their locations in NW Slabtown and the original NE Dekum pub. The branding will be clean but similar, with a colorful wraparound mural above the bar.”
“The drinks will highlight 16 taps of Breakside beer, cider, cocktails, and soon Breakside’s own wine label Alit. One thing that will be a little different in Vancouver, a food menu catering to the lunch crowd with stacked sub sandwiches and quality local bread, along with salads and Breakside’s beloved giant pretzel.”
Breakside’s website tells us a bit more about the concept: “Breakside Brewery opened in 2010 in Northeast Portland as a restaurant and pub brewery and has grown to be a highly regarded regional brewery producing 30,000 barrels annually. The brewery is known for its broad portfolio of award-winning, innovative beers. In 2013, Breakside expanded operations to Milwaukie, OR with a production facility and taproom capable of producing 40,000 barrels of beer per year.”
“In addition to winning many national, international, and regional awards for its beers, Breakside was named Brewery of the Year in 2017 and 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 at the Oregon Beer Awards and the 2018 Best of Craft Beer Awards. Breakside sells beer on draft and in package in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Northern California, British Columbia, Alberta and Japan.”
